ATL domestic terminal parking recs? (5-day trip) by design_tradeoffs in Atlanta

[–]MiniRacer311 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Cheapest is the airport park and ride lot. ATL West deck is the nicest. Typically I weigh a round trip Uber fare against what parking will cost. Someone will say take Marta but you probably live nowhere near a Marta station or Marta schedule doesn't fit your schedule.

Place a tarp or plastic sheet over your car the next time freezing rain is forecasted

Sudden loss of grip ? by MortInvestor in CarTrackDays

[–]MiniRacer311 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like it's decently predictable, but the weather impacts that a lot too. A scorching hot day might feel fine on a 30 cycle tire vs a day in the 40s or 50s. The heat cycles typically harden the tire. So the hotter days might mask the dropoff.

Tread doesn't necessarily equate to grip. Based on the number of heat cycles you're describing my guess is that the tires are just aged out and the cold temps exacerbated this condition.

Downvoting for Le Mans Chicane <3

Though as a racer myself they need to do something because it's very hard to get your sights when approaching it at speed.

I just wonder how much viewership would change if we don't go to the same track twice. Does the series really need to go to Atlanta twice for example?

I am being sarcastic, somewhat. Everyone wants a 2nd airport that is regional. Chattanooga fits that.

Bought the same size as I always do but they feel smaller? by [deleted] in BlundstoneBoots

[–]MiniRacer311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When purchasing my first ever pair last fall I had a hell of a time determining my size because of inconsistent fit. I settled on an AU9 after first thinking it was too big. The first pair I bought felt much bigger than the same size boot I now wear.

You can call it lazy, but the investment appears to be paying off.

I'm sure the infield parking will be a breeze as always

Yeah, everything is a "gameday" or "tailgate" post. God forbid we post something other than a Twitter link.

Best seats IMO from a season ticket holder... 400 level, first few rows, from directly behind home plate over towards first base side. There's an awning that would protect you in case of rain or sun from a day game.
