    The Dallas/ Fort Worth Chapter of the FCA is organizing an F1 watching party for the Chinese Grand Prix on April 14th. The watching party is open to all fans of F1. It will be held at the Fox and Hound located at the corner of Midway Road and Rosemeade. This is one block south of George Bush on Midway.
    We will get our own private viewing room with two huge screen TVs and a fabulous sound system. There is an easy chair area (8 or 10 chairs) and they have their own screen. We will have our own server and there is ample parking on the north side of the Fox and Hound.
    The time will be when NBC Sports reruns the race which should be 2:00 PM. I will check on this as the race approaches to make sure of the correct time. The management said that if we get a lot of cars (future watching parties) they would hire an off duty officer to watch the parking lot. It just doesn't get much better than this. The inside of the Fox and Hound is really nice and it is a non-smoking place.
    It would be great to get a big turn out for the race and then perhaps look at this facility as a home for future watching parties. Everyone is always asking about watching parties and here it is.

    My TV preview shows that the race will be broadcast from 12:00 noon to 2:30 on NBC sports.

    So, I guess we should set that for the time.

    We checked the schedule and NBC will be showing the rerun at Noon. So I will contact the people at Fox and Hound and alert them as to the new time. Please tell all of your friends about the watching party as it would be nice to get a big turn out for these folks. See you guys Sunday at Noon.

    The Maserati has been duck hunting when truck is down. :). The 328 can park anywhere there's an open space, especially since it only takes about half of it. :). Most doors can't even reach it and if they do that's what we have Jano for. I haven't been to many events lately, others only bring cars if security guards and ropped off parking? :D

    Thanks Don and James for setting it up. Great race, good location. I was surprised how good the food was.

    I have a nice video of Nameless doing a burnout in the parking lot. In his wifes car. 2 wide black stripes on the pavement and a thick cloud of smoke. :) I may post it to YouTube.
