On paper, the Walter Mitty Challenge at Road Atlanta is supposed to be a classic car race weekend similar to the Monterey Historics race at Laguna Seca, but because of the more laid-back atmosphere at the Mitty, it's more of an anything goes type event. Hell, I was even able to blag my way on to the track a few years ago.

Because of this, you see more modern cars on track than you would at a normal historic race weekend. This includes a few privately-owned former ALMS and open wheel race cars, many of which could not even be considered obsolete yet. How cool would it be to have a former factory GT1 Corvette as a track toy?

Thanks to a few friends back in Atlanta, I was able to procure some pictures of this awesome event. Enjoy the gallery.
