Absorbine_Sr Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 Starting the thread to see who is interested in getting together in Austin in November 2012 for the US Grand Prix Formula One race/Head-Case brouhaha. Race interest or enthusiasm is not required, as a Head-Case family get together is an event unto itself. luvdunhill has mentioned he has room for some people to crash at his house. I'll let him chime in with the details. I'm calling dibs on two spots there for Debbie and I. In trade, if he is interested I will buy his race ticket. And if not I'll compensate some other way. So, who's interested?
mikeymad Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 Only if you don't mind a Button fan... more than interested
Absorbine_Sr Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Posted September 1, 2011 Only if you don't mind a Button fan... more than interested Button's been proving himself to be quite OK this year. And that comes from a die hard Ferrari fan.

Voltron Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 Interested in HC fun but no inherent Formula One interest. Thanks for getting the ball rolling Mike!
Iron_Dreamer Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 Only if you don't mind a Button fan... more than interested Make it two of us, I'm absotudalutely interested in getting to my first F1 race in person.
Absorbine_Sr Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Posted September 1, 2011 Calling ironbut..... Calling ironbut......
ironbut Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 Always liked Jensen. I just wonder if he's too nice a guy sometimes! I think this years rookies could be the big story of the season. I don't know what they're feeding those guys, but if it does represent an improvement in the training that they've gotten on their way up, it may be that we won't see veterans like Rubins (without a championship) still getting a ride year after year. Anyway, I'll have to see how my finances are after the beginning of the year before I can commit but I'd certainly love to be in Austin in 2012!
Torpedo Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 Is F1 going next year to Austin and not to Indianapolis? In what fucking cave do I live? Anyway, it's very unlikely I can make it, but my father in law might
VPI Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 I am definitely going to be in Austin for the race.
Torpedo Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 Indy ain't F1. It was until 2008, in 2007 they raced there IIRC. That interests me, they had there the MotoGP races last week. How is Austin circuit?
jvlgato Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 Interested in HC fun but no inherent Formula One interest. Thanks for getting the ball rolling Mike! ^this.

How is Austin circuit? Correct. Bernie wanted too much money up front so Indy lost its F1 slot. Right now, the Austin circuit is pretty much graded dirt. It's another Hermann Tilke design, so it has the potential to be crap, but we'll hope for the best. I think the move to November was an effort to avoid the June heat in Texas as well as giving the circuit plenty of time to get finished. With all that said, it is an F1 race in the US, so it will be an awesome thing.
monsieurguzel Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 Definitely interested now that I just moved to Houston! And i happen to really enjoy F1!
The Monkey Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 I'm interested. I've never been to Austin and would love to check it out. Will they let me drive in the race?
raffy Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 I'm interested. I've never been to Austin and would love to check it out. Will they let me drive in the race? Only after a few drams of Rittenhouse 25.
emelius Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 I was planning on going...was a season ticket holder when the race was here...glad they incorporated elevation changes into the Austin circuit...I think that was something Indy was lacking that could've made all the difference... I need to find out what the best places to sit are before I try to get tix...& I can't say with any degree of certainty that I'll be able to take the time off... I'll watch this thread with interest:)...
Absorbine_Sr Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Posted September 1, 2011 I'm interested. I've never been to Austin and would love to check it out. Will they let me drive in the race? How are you from a standing start Dinny? Hell, you gotta be better than Mark Webber at that. (sorry, inside F1 joke)
guzziguy Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) Interested in HC fun but no inherent Formula One interest. Thanks for getting the ball rolling Mike! Ditto. I'd be much more interested in a field trip to Lockhart. Is F1 going next year to Austin and not to Indianapolis? In what fucking cave do I live? Anyway, it's very unlikely I can make it, but my father in law might Antonio, if you can't make it, why not send your wife? I'm sure that she'll have a good time. Edited September 1, 2011 by guzziguy
shellylh Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) I'd be in for some BBQ outings... oh wait, there will be no more cattle left in the state if it doesn't start raining soon... Edited September 1, 2011 by shellylh
