@abrod520....definitely head to Le Man when you get the chance.....best race experience ever.
I used to go every year. Saw the flying Mercs.
Same as everything else, It aint wot it used to be.
I can't imagine a 911 driver spinning off the track during practice, then walking over and asking for a sip of my beer and a cigarette these days.

It's definitely on my list of things to do before I die 馃榾

Saw the last year of the C5-R at Lime Rock in 2004, then the first year of the C6.R the next, I've been following the Pratt & Miller Corvette team since its inception in 98-99 and can't wait to see them race against the new Fords this year!

I have to admit a wet, foggy Ring terrified me in November. But the car looked pretty.

One of several Lotus, yes we all know what Lotus stands for 馃槈 that I owned in the dim and distant past and could possibly meet the standards of the o.p.

Wheeling out a couple relatives for lunch at "Gleneagles" and yes I can sometimes be a bit of a crawler 馃榾

Thank you all for sharing your pics and stories. I've always wanted to hit the Nurburgring, and I should have when I spent some years in the UK. Now, it is just too expensive! Anyway, for the folks who celebrate the Lunar New year, Gong Hei Fatt Choy! Wishing all an auspicious year of the Fire Monkey! 馃榾

I've had the great pleasure and privilege of getting to lay down both tire and sneaker rubber on the Nordschleife:
