Slightly OT, but where in CA are you? I'm in San Francisco...

Our top "decent" beer here in California is Sierra Nevada, which has proven very palatable to Brits like myself. Since they're now owned by Budweiser you might find it on the East Coast, and if you do it's a hell of a lot better than Sam Adams.

I've heard that after two hours of the race, any grandstand ticket will get you into the Pits grandstands (34). Is this true?

I've got seats in Wimille, but wanted to get into the Stands to watch the pitstops from above, so this could solve my problem...

Sadly won't be at Sebring since it's a bit of a haul from San Francisco, but will be tuned into ALMS radio and watching on Speed. I will be at Long Beach reporting for The-Paddock.net, as well as Laguna Seca.

Off to LM for the 4th time this year, this time bringing my girlfriend who I've taught to be a rabid sportscar fan. Lucky me....

I've been over at Ten-Tenths for a while and dig the huge amount of knowledge on the sporting side, but after looking through the CA forum's it's clear that this is the place for nuts-and-bolts discussion of the event itself.

Glad to be here.

Hi there - new to the forum, 3-time vet of the LM 24 hours. I'd like to help out, and have some articles I've written about Le Mans that I'd be happy to offer some or all of. I just sent an email...
