    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?

      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.

            Are the campsites in a certain area best?  I have never camped there before.

              chris and i camped over by the johnsonville bridge for IMSA last august, was a pretty good spot by the track. the inside of the carousel is supposedly one of the more rowdy areas though

                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

                  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.

                    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.

                      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.

                        I specifically purchased a moped a few weeks ago to avoid walking.

                          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.

                            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.

                                  My fam will be there from the 20th to the 24th. I'll be in Lake Mills at that time visiting a friend. Possible that I might drop by for a day.

                                      Someone want to bring me some WIbimmers stickers? Looks better than a WCEC sticker 😉 (I have absolutely no association with WCEC)
