The parking garages in the area are OK, usually that weekend there are a ton of Ferraris on the streets, so you stand out less.
Only one that hasn't confirmed is Jordan.

Rob, sorry I didn't see that you needed a firm count. I will be there with my father and another guest....that's 3 people myself included. Thanks, Richard
Sorry about that Rob, Ill be at the Ferrari gathering at the circle but I think my dad and I are going to do something else that night. Hope to see everyone Friday anyway though! Ill probably be wearing my Ferrarichat Monterey 2004 gathering T-shirt that night...and maybe Saturday too
Are we still going to try and get together Saturday for Qualifying??? I think last year we met about an hour before Qualifying began on Saturday and sat in one place. Rob???? my Houston
I am bringing the Motorhome with the F40 and a 512 Boxer, Scott Ashcraft MD and his wife Bernie and Daren Adkins are also coming...
Does someone else want to plan it? I would like to watch from Turn 1 again. Set a time to meet 30 minutes before qualifying starts at North side of tunnel.
OK - It looks like Saturday qualifying is at 1pm. So let's all meet just north of the tunnel at the entrance to stand H and sit and watch the qualifying as a group. Let's meet between 12 and 12:30 and we can then find a place to sit in H or J. I am sure someone will have an Fchat shirt to wear. But basically just look for a bunch of Ferrari wearing people sort of standing around looking like they know what they are doing. Thanks my Houston
Well it looks like there will be plenty to take my place if I don't make it for Friday night. I'm so bummed, I'll be without the Ferrari after all, I think my 27 year old fuel pressure regulator has either a pinhole or the crimp is giving way b/c it's leaking externally. (
I can't take anymore from here on out, I already gave the count. However, I'm sure if you show up to the restaurant worse case you just end up with a table close by.
Ill meet you guys down by the first turn around 12pm for Qualifying! Ill be a young, hairy guy walking around with a digital camera and possibly a gray Fchat shirt.
Local NBC station here at Indy was touting the Pit Walkabout -- and they spent almost all their time showing the Ferrari team setup and cars, and talking about Michael Schumacher. It's going to be great weather ALL WEEKEND! In the 70's, low humidity.

Sounds good, I'll meet everyone under the stands North of the tunnel exit at 12:30. This is where we met the past two years. Then we'll find good seats together Turn 1.
Good to see there are plenty of late-comers for dinner tonite as I won't be driving myself, so I'm losing my self-determination. I'd expect I won't make it, so someone can just claim my spot at dinner !
A few no shows that had confirmed as usual, but overall a great turnout. We had several just come by to say hi, so ended up having around 50 total. Great meeting those for the first time and seeing others again. Enjoy your weekend, see ya all back on FC Monday. Anyone have pics of the dinner? Thanks, rob
Sorry to have missed everyone this year. The judge ruled I'm not to associate with Ferrari guys until the 430 comes in.
Rob, Thanks for throwing the dinner! I greatly enjoyed meeting you and some other fchatters for the first time. Here are a few photos from the dinner Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks for the pics! I was too busy talking and forgot to take any. Glad it was documented. Pleasure to meet everyone and see others again.
