    It's my home track, so naturally I'll be there, though probably just for Friday and Saturday. I'd like to go Thursday, but would probably get some grief from the home front.

    are you allowed to walk around the track (inside or outside) without getting in trouble, I plan on taking alot of pictures of the races that weekend and I dont know what the rules for a big road course is

    I wanted to take my dad to the Laguna Seca race, but he can't really walk around for long, do they allow you to use a gulf cart to get around or is just the staff members that can use them?

    Absolutely, you can walk all over the place at Road Atlanta. Parts of the outside of the track are open to spectators and about all of the inside is available for spectators. I've been the going since I moved over here a couple of years ago and it's a great event. Bring some good walking shoes, those hills are bigger than they look on TV.

    On raceday, I leave my car in the outside parking. If I do the pit walk on Saturday morning, I usually watch the beginning of the race from the bleachers in the support paddock. Last year I went down to the outside of turn 1 for a while, then across the spectator bridge into the track, to the inside of turn 1 for a bit, then up to 3, then over to the approach to the esses for quite a while. After that I usually go to spectator hill overlooking turn 5 for some time, there's a matrix board there and it's a good place to sit down for a while. At some point I usually mosey on up to turns 6 and 7, or as I like to call it, the bone end of the pork chop. My favorite time of raceday is sunset, and my favorite place is overlooking turn 5 from the hill behind it, so that's where I am then. As it approaches dark, I make my way to the turn 10 area and stay there until the last 30 minute of the race, when I go the outside of turn 12, and watch the finish. As soon as the cooldown lap is complete, I walk out to my car, and am on the road 15 minutes after the checkered.
