Tickets are for sale NOW!

I bought 8 together for me and my buds in Turn 12. Looking forward to some F1 in the US of A!

Best bet is the PCA presale for PCA members.

COTA Presale is also going on but is already pretty close to sold out.

CNJ has me all hooked up with free top notch seats, I'm sitting right next to Bernie

I had vacation lined up, and was ready to buy tickets up until I looked at the hotel costs for those days...about $250/night at a Super 8?????? No thank you...wife and I will go on a cruise

I hear ya Tracy - I refuse to get reamed. One of the main reasons I quit going to NASCRAP races - got tired of being played the sucker by hotels.

Any promoters out there listening? Didn't think so.

[Doug007]

Yeah, hotels are crazy. I'm lucky to have friends in Austin to crash with.

I also heard the track will have some camping options for the adventurous but those aren't finalized yet.

What!. I was supposed to be next the Bernie. I need to make sure he is not giving my seat away.

I thought Madoff had other plans?

Bernie told me he likes seat mates to be thin and blond and - well you guys dont qualify on either count. I did try but photoshop only goes so far.
I should have an all (well most all) access pass - but still just bought 2 good seats so I could sit with my wife. Expensive suckers. Payback for me having such high consulting fees The hotels are going to have a great week. Any decent hotel will be $400-500 a night.

If anyone is thinking of going, T1 is good (great passing), T12 is great and T15 is the best (and prices follow this). The cheaper seating up on the hill at T3/4/5 will also give good views. The main grandstand is cool for pit viewing and the start but of course you can't see the back part of the track. There will be inexpensive seating towards T11 which will have some cool passing but its a hike.

FYI Ed Gilfus has a garage about 3 miles away. Bet he would let you lie on the floor for $100/night.

We'd planned on going to celebrate my 50th but Nevada Heart and Vascular and Mountain View Hospital took my tickets..... We are going to the fall NHRA in Vegas, trucks and likely Indycar in Fontana.

I think his floor space, toilet, and parking lot are already pretty much spoken for... LOL

We never said you can't post videos or images.. As I tell my children.. most things are fine in moderation, over indulgence of anything is rarely good

What I should have said is my moose brain can't seem to grasp the process. When I click on the add image icon I get a box to add a URL. What if there is no URL?

[Jim Drago]

I save to photobucket and post ( I'm sure there is an easier way, but I am not that smart either )

So he does.

Just a short Texas story which fits in with BIG motel/hotel costs/everything in Texas.

Back in th early 70's (1970's youngersters) I was at an exhibitor at a machine show at a hall for a week between Dallas & Fort Worth, Texas. While there, all the good ol Texas boys were always talking about HOW BIG everything in Texas is. So one night while tossing a few I questioned why if every thing in Texas is SO BIG, how come the bottom of the urinals end a a mans knees rather than at the floor like thy do in Wisconsin.

I presume that's a voice of experience, from squating.

Tire past/goop/whatever?

[MPR22]

No, I have been to Wisconsin before, saw it first hand.

[MPR22]

Truth be told I was hanging out with a small sample of the population, a few Chem E's and hand full of ME's.
