Please feel free to call me (John Ledbury) with questions regarding the race or the cars and coffee. If you have not been to Road America, this will be an opportunity to not only see the cars race, but you will be able to look at them up close and photograph them. Road America allows you to bring a chair and a cooler with food and beverages in with them. Hope to see you there!
