Our choices for campgrounds (areas with 30a hookup) are turn 1 or turns 10b-11. Thoughts where we'd like to hang? Is the turn one area not the one we can look up at from the grid?

Forgive me if my questions seem stupid, but is there a time during the day, where we are not driving, and will be back at camp while other cars are driving?
If so, which corner would be better for watching other cars, and taking pictures?

turn 1 would keep us close to pit/grid/paddock
turns 10b-11 is a little more private but you walk down and watch all the cars test their brakes as they come off of the longest straightaway on the track.

The Turkish Delight
I'll more than likely work this one too. I don't think I'm getting the 8 back until after this weekend, so I don't know if I'm going to Savannah this weekend.

Revi Ram Air Duct
Well for those of you that bought the Revi 8 intake;
You won't get as much from the RAM AIR DUCT but I believe you will be happy with the results of your purchase.
Pedal feels lighter even though it isn't. you can feel the car flow much easier.
6th gear has power now, almost as much as a stock 5th gear.
You can really feel it in 4th.
I'll be tracking on the 23rd so we'll see what the results soon.

Now, a real question to the guys who have done the Nasa events before.
I was reading over their website last night, and I can not find where it mentioned numbers. I have seen it before, but can not find it again. How do we know what our number will be, do we get to choose it, or do they assign it once we register?
thanks.

It is OFFICIAL
I'm in, paid my money, the whole nine yards. Less than a month away now. I am almost giddy now, I am sure that I will not sleep for two days before the event. I actually get to miss a crappy wedding for this event, woohoo.
So who else is signing up. I know phlash is working the event, and legokcen might work it too. But who else is going to drive?
Now I need to make an appointment with Charlie, get the car ready for the BIG day. :D

I purchase a new lens for my camera and I'm going to shoot the hell out of you guys. I can't wait to use it. It's one of those big-ons that looks obnoxious! I should be able to see your blood shot eyes in turn 10b and fright in your instructor in 6. :D
