COTA parking
 

Alright, I managed to get some extra tickets from Doppelganger to go to COTA this weekend. To all those that have already been, tell me about the parking. I've always heard its a nightmare. I have a map of the different parking zones, so what do I need to go for? I will be driving up Saturday morning and getting there roughly around 9 AM and then I will have to get the tickets from Doppel in person. What should my game plan be?

My only prior experience was F1. I suspect that parking for F1 and parking for V8 Supercars are two completely different issues. Last time I just parked where assigned (came with ticket package) and took the busses. Worked out fine. This time, I've got a parking pass (bought with the ticket) for Lot P. I expect that will work out fine too. I don't think there is a huge difference between any of the lots.

I'll be driving down in my V8 Supercar (Pontiac G8 GT)!! Unfortunately, yesterday evening, it got caught in a hail storm at the Mineral Wells, TX airport. So I've got the speed dimple mod. Sigh.

BTW, those white clouds were a funnel trying to form. The whole thing was awe inspiring. Baseball to softball size hail.

Ok, since Doppel is currently in the air right now flying to Austin, I really don't have the details on what package I have. However, he did say that the tickets he was selling me was "parking not included" so what now?

Also, holy hell, you are in the Granbury thats been all over the news today.

Yeah, I was at work -- but according to the wife, the big tornado (EF4) went over the house as a funnel and then touched down about 3 miles away. Got unlucky with the car, but seriously lucky with the house and family. No complaints here, I assure you.

Not sure about the private parking situation. I do remember that there were empty fields where the landowners were letting people park for a fee during F1. The track is kind of "out there."
