manaox2 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 I've enjoyed Austin and always been interested in what its like to see an actual F1 race. It looks like a good date too very possibly, so I'm interested. TX BBQ vs NC? I dunno about that...
shellylh Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 NC is probably better but BBQ is good anywhere (unfortunately we don't have much BBQ in the city).
grawk Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 texas bbq is good, as long as you pretend they don't call it bbq, and just enjoy the tasty brisket.
guzziguy Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 NC is probably better but BBQ is good anywhere (unfortunately we don't have much BBQ in the city). Only if you think that vinegar is the best thing you've ever tasted.
tyrion Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 It doesn't get much better than brisket, F1, HC and the Ginger Man. I'm in.
MexicanDragon Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 Man... this sounds fantastic. Since it's over a year away, I'll optimistically hope to be in, but it'll be a big "maybe" for me. FWIW, vinegar based BBQ is a shame... brisket FTMFW! **BRENT**

mikeymad Posted September 3, 2011 Report Posted September 3, 2011 How are you from a standing start Dinny? Hell, you gotta be better than Mark Webber at that. agreed
boomana Posted September 3, 2011 Report Posted September 3, 2011 Not interested in the F1, but I'd come and hang out for sure.
cetoole Posted September 4, 2011 Report Posted September 4, 2011 Possibly?! Definitely interested in hanging out, possibly able to make it.
mypasswordis Posted September 4, 2011 Report Posted September 4, 2011 Definitely interested in hanging out, possibly able to make it. x2
Fitz Posted September 5, 2011 Report Posted September 5, 2011 Definitely interested in hanging out, possibly able to make it. ^ This
emelius Posted September 5, 2011 Report Posted September 5, 2011 Indy offered everything they could, even adding a chicane last minute...it was entirely michelin's fault...they knew ahead of time about Indy's diamond ground track & they chose not to do the proper testing... I wasn't fond of the track that was designed (I still think it needs elevation changes), but the whole disastrous six cars racing had nothing to do with Indy...I was at the race... also, the Hulman-George family ain't hurting for money lol...it wasn't so much a financial issue as much as it was bernie trying to dick tony george around & tony not being in the position in which he needed to take any shit...the 500 & Brickyard both draw more people & money than any f1 race...they simply replaced it w/a motorcycle race... I'm still an f1 fan, obviously...but I think it's safe to say after watching what happened with Korea, Silverstone, Bahrain etc etc that bernie isn't comfortable unless he's callin' all the shots...
luvdunhill Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 So, I'm very excited and the opportunity to host something for HC. I am in the perfect location with respect to the track location and the airport, meaning that we will run into very little traffic en-route. Unfortunately, I'm not close to much else That being said, we just need to plan accordingly. I have plenty of room and can easily house 20 or so people I'd think. All that I really require is convincing my wife that this is a good idea, whether that means a hotel for her and the kids, or a maid service afterwards On thing that would be helpful to know, even though we're a while off from this would be how long would people consider staying? What's the event schedule look like? I'd recommend at least one night downtown. Other options are Lockhart, the lake, brewery/distillery tours, etc.
emelius Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 I'd love to attend qually & get there early/stay late for the two other races usually held... but I just don't know what my schedule looks like yet...
mikeymad Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 As far as the event... Friday FP1 and FP2 (free practice), Sat FP3 and Quali, Sunday Race day!! I would be down for the lot being my first F1 race weekend in person. Cheers, mikey
Dreadhead Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 I'm interested for sure. I'll broach the subject with my wife. It can be my Birthday present or something.
Absorbine_Sr Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Posted September 20, 2011 Marc, I'd be looking at arriving sometime Thursday with a departure of the Monday after the race, possibly Sunday night if need be. And because it is your generous offer making this possible, adjustments could be made in our schedule to make life easy for you. And I'll be happy to help financially or in any other way possible to make things cool for your family regarding this get-together. Just let me know how I can help. Mike
swt61 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 Marc, I'm of coarse available for airport trips and other driving tasks as well, and 7 can squeeze into my car, so that's 14 people with both our rigs. An alternative plan might be for Maryanne & kids to have a beach weekend and stay at my place.
shellylh Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) An alternative plan might be for Maryanne & kids to have a beach weekend. Heh, I was thinking the same when Mike said he would help out financially. Edited September 20, 2011 by shellylh
emelius Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 well...the race has been pushed back a year... I'd rather go to the New Jersey Grand Prix now...
Voltron Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 Bastards! We need a new excuse to get together soon.
