Hah I agree. I would not pay it... But pops makes a bit more money then I do... and the only way he was going is if he could take his RV and not get caught in the endless traffic clusterfuck that will undoubtedly occur while going to/from the track. That and my brother is an engineer for Force India, so this will be our only realistic opportunity for the family to visit him at a race.

 

I'm in too.

Definitely in for V8 Supercar in '13.

so we all like have to leave in a week. wow. anyone call the state park and ask about late arrival?

 

Mhio

 

I'll be there a little after midday Friday.

Will miss first practice session due to a prior engagement (reading at my daughter's school that morning, and not bailing since I promised I'd be there...reading's important yo).

Will have to shuttle in...here's to hoping it's not a cluster.

 

Anyone seen a scheduled for the weekend? I can't find one.

 

I'll be getting into town Thursday and leaving Tuesday.

I'll also be bringing in a backpack filled with bottled water, which is allowed. I'd imagine it wouldn't be too hard to substitute liquids in one or more of the bottles.

I saw a detailed schedule somewhere, lemme look.

Lameness less then 2 hours of non f1 racing. Least there is a GT3 race. Which they were doing a hour plus GT3 run.

 

I heard somewhere the historic f1 cars were there too, this seems to be un confirmed.

 

"HGP" = Historic Grand Prix

 

Fan vision rented and found a hell of a deal on some bad *** miced ear muffs with a 3.5mm stereo in.

 

COTA posted a new schedule. Didn't look to see if it differs from the previous one..

So who is is at lake bastrop? I was thinking of bringing some boudian and having a cook out one night.

 

Was all YAY GT3 racing, then I found out it was just Porshe GT3 cup cars so I =(

 

If you want to meet-up for inapropriate touching, check out the Google Group I made.
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fro...in/e0HPQSKPDYs

 

ahhh I cant work this google thing.

 

Would you guys prefer a G+ circle or hang-out? I'm not sure if "Groups" sucks horribly or if it's because I'm stuck using IE6 at work. I don't have full functionality on IE6 nor my phone.

 

I don't know how to do this Google groups thing, but I'm dfw. I'm staying with my cousin so I'll probably bring him along to dinner or whatever.
