Anybody in Southeast going to USGP?

I might be up for it, especially if there are more than 6 cars racing...

 

I will be headed back. But the Ferrari will not be coming. There seems to be a lack of space for camping gear and coolers.

 

I've got my tickets already, but I'll be road-tripping there with my kids so no Ferrari....

 

When are y'all leaving?

If everything goes to plan, I'll be leaving Dallas on Tues, stopping in Little Rock Tues night, Nashville Wed night, and on into Indy on Thurs

Any suggestions for interesting routes between Little Rock and Nashville? I'd like to at least go through Memphis

 

i'd be interested in costing out a car hauler. if like eight cars could fit on one truck it may be affordable.

 

Really the only way from LR to Nashville is thru Memphis. Then it's a (pretty boring) straight shot from Memphis to Nashville. Very flat land in west TN.

 

I'd drive the car for sure - the miles don't matter to me at all.

 

Nothing interesting from a scenic standpoint. It's a straight shot on I-40. The side roads aren't much to look at. LR has a revitalized downtown area along the river thats nice. Lots of bars and restaurants. If you are a Clinton fan, his new Library is there also (if you are a huge fan you can stop at his boyhood home in Hope!!) LR to Memphis is all Mississippi Delta--flat rice and soybean fields. Memphis has Graceland and some good places to eat. Tunica MS is just south of Memphis if you need a gambling fix. Memphis to Nashville is pretty boring also.

 

My girlfriend got us some awesome paddock penthouse tickets for the race, and I am tooling with the idea of driving the Ferrari up. I cannot wait! I think having Scott Speed in F1 will redeem the Indy race.

 

after last years USGP mess I have decided to go back to Indy, but back to my old stmping ground, where I skipped plenty of classes to go to the speedway.

I am going back to Indiana, but to see the 500.

as touching as seeing 33 cars enter trn 1 at 230.

I know I know, its the IRL and yes I agree with everyone else here that it isnt F 1. I couldnt agree more, but still, Indy is Indy.. anytime on can spend time there, Gods own Cathedral, then its pretty impressive. I grew up near the speedway and spent more time there than I ever did in school.

I have a brick from turn 3 that still has il and ruber marks on it.. it was unearthed from the hallow grounds back in the 60's.

I lovethat place and would LOVE to hear Michael come down the straight at full song with that sound bouncing off the stands.. the thought makes my hair stand up on the back of my neck...

 

So is anybody from the area taking their car? Lane and I will be going up in the 355, probably Friday...

 

I'm going.


Paddock Sec 33, Row VV, Seat 11/12

 

We're torn between getting seats at the first corner, or in the paddock area. The first corner a good place to see the race and you don't need earplugs...

The covered paddock keeps you out of the rain and strong sun, but it's REALLY loud with the sound bouncing off all the aluminium seats.

 

If you are interested in 1st corner, let me know. I may have access to a few tickets depending on our final count.

 

I'll be there

 

My wife and I are going.

Leaving Tuscaloosa, AL (in wife's Honda) early Friday morning, June 30.

Staying at the NW Hampton Inn.
