I can't believe there isn't a thread yet. I would like to have this one kind of a roll call too. I know me, Stu, JoD and several others are in. Who else?




Weather.com (linky) shows scattered showers the hole weekend but I-tv.com shows sunny. Either way I'll be happy.



Lets hope this doesn't happen again.

I'm leaving in the morning. Going to the pit walkabout on Thursday, and then we plan to see artkevin downtown at the Hyatt.

Sweet grandpa! I'll see you there for sure.

I'll be the crazy girl with the Finnish flag painted on her face (every day) running at the start of the pit walkabout to camp out in front of McLaren for 4 hours.

Wish you were coming Ferg. I'd glady throw something at JT for ya, but I think Kevin's got better odds with his seats on Sunday.

I had a week off from school and decided to take a week off from the board as well.

I'm in!


I'm leaving Saturday morning, as I can't afford to go the whole weekend.

Where is everyone's seats? I'm in Section C, anyone ever sat there?

If anyone wants to get together Saturday night at Fastimes, I'll be there!

In a couple of times that I visited Indy, I got seated ticket only ones. First time. After that I enjoyed general admission finding myself a spot around Turn 3/Turn 4/Turn 5. I like it the best.

You'll probably see me running one way or another during the weekend. I am going to a Red Bull party Friday night and a GP Tours Kiss and Make Up event on Saturday while trying to do 2 or 3 other things other then my own show at the Hyatt. Late nights I am going to try to hit up the Chatterbox. Its a cool little jazz place a little north of down town and I am sure I will have to eat some point too. Maybe the Druken Monkey on Saturday night.

It's too late to buy a parking pass from IMS. Anyone have a suggestion?

Matt, do you have a race day ticket? If you do on track parking is automatically included. I was surprised to find out many people don't know it and pay $80 per day parking.

If you have General Admissions, that won't work as your parking, only if you have a race day seated ticket.

Yes.

I thought that was only for the Car Corral. I couldn't get one of those passes because I bought my tickets off eBay. Got any more info?

I don't think it matters where ticket was purchased.

If I understand correctly, you're entering car's club from the rear of the track. I don't know what street it is.

But with my racing day ticket I could park Thr-Fri-Sat-Sun for FREE entering via main entrance off of Georgetown Rd, see map here:

http://dev.usgpindy.com/modules/imag...5-map-lrg.jpg\

On this map see "G6", it's Gate 6, that's where I was entering. I suggest you do this too.

But aren't you describing the car corral, for which you need a special permit to get in that way?

No I am describing the entrance on opposite side of the track, not car corral. Go there with your racing ticket they'll let you in trust me, that is what I did, laterfound out many people like me wtih racing ticket didn't know about that. Worse thing they'll turn you back at the gate.
