Even during off times the drivers seem to be strategizing for the race to come:
Look! Even Harlan Charles waited his turn to get his helmet signed:
Then it was time to bring them back down the hill to the paddock. I know, it's a tough job, but someone had to do it:
"Come on Johnny, we have to go!":
We had lunch on both Friday and Saturday along with cold drinks all weekend. These, along with the closed circuit TVs, made for a very enjoyable weekend at the track. If there is a race in your neighborhood, you should look into the corral.
Saturday was the day of the race and the corral was a sell-out, so parking was a bit of a challenge, but all worked hard and we fit all the participants. As you can see there were two other corrals at Lime Rock, the Porsche corral:

Without being sexist, this is a pose only a guy would make:
As you may or may not know, the GT-1 class has only Corvette running in it for now. Therefore, it's a two-car race between teammates. There are rumors that Aston Martin will join the class and perhaps another car or two, but for now it's just Corvette. That being said, it was still an exciting race with all the other classes and the two Corvettes trying to be first in class:
The Number 4 car finished first and the Number 3 was second.
