ROAD ATLANTA—Wednesday was a day for testing at the Road Atlanta racetrack, where the American Le Mans Series was making preparations for its season finale, the Petit Le Mans endurance race this Saturday.
Surprising for a weekday and a practice day, there was a sizeable crowd lining the course and hundreds of RVs, tents, and canopies were filling the spectator areas.
Obviously, Petit Le Mans is a popular race, and racing is a popular sport. But there is more to racing than winning and losing—for many attendees, Petit Le Mans is an opportunity for family bonding.
The Epoch Times spoke with three fathers who have been bringing their sons to the race since the children could walk.
