jc43089 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Anybody going to some RA events this year? I plan to go to the IMSA racing on August 3-6th. http://www.roadamerica.com/buy-tickets/continental-tire-road-race-showcase.html My wife isn't into this sort of thing but my daughter and I will be there for the weekend tent camping probably. Any particular area that WiBimmers folks gather at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 I've got 4 campsites reserved for the Brian Redman vintage weekend in July. Sounds like there'll be at least a handful of members from this forum there. m42b32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m42b32 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Thanks for the reminder! I just booked a campsite for the hawk/vintage weekend! Should be there Friday through Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted March 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Are the campsites in a certain area best? I have never camped there before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m42b32 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 I was in the middle of the carousel last year, really not horrible but definitely a bit rowdy in the evening, closest to the showers though. I'll be in the small group of spots between turn 7 and 8 this year, I have no idea how it is for camping but wanted to try another area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 I can confirm that inside the carousel is rowdy from what I've seen and experienced the past few years that I have camped at RA. We usually stay near turn 3 which is a lot quieter. I will definitely be there for IMSA weekend with a group of buddies and their wives/fiances and possibly my wife. If you're with a little one then i'd highly suggest the turn 3 area. It's also got some nice shaded areas. We don't usually designate a meet up area but we always end up running into each other and hanging out throughout the weekend. I always manage to find Andy on accident and usually I purposely meet up with Chris and Co. I'm hoping to make it out for the Hawk Vintage Weekend and Indy/Pirelli World Challenge.

jc43089 Posted March 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 I will avoid the carousel camping then. It will be my 5 year old and I, she is excited to go see race cars. My wife avoids loud stuff and large groups of people so she didn't want to come lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 I will warn you. It is a TON of walking. We're talking about miles walked everyday up and down hills. I don't know how athletic your 5 year old is but I frequently hear adults complaining (my wife) about all of the walking. Bike's help if you can bring 2 of them.

wasnt m3 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 I specifically purchased a moped a few weeks ago to avoid walking. patsbimmer1 and m42b32 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 I have one at home and I'm trying to figure out a mount for the back of our camper to get it up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I will be going to lots of RA events. The Brian Redman vintage races are my favorite. I camped in the carousel last year for that event, but I don't remember it being rowdy at all... i was kinda hoping for a little rowdiness. I've heard the superbike weekend is real rowdy.
