    This year I was thinking something low headache and different. The past two years David has hooked us up with great parking and Italian food up NE Indy. This year I was thinking something more casuaul. Maybe just a bar & grill downtown? Hooters? Thoughts? First year was at that race bar & grill just West of the Speedway.

    I'm in as long as there is good parking, food, Fgirls and beer. Those are the essentials.

    Where in Indiana is the meeting?
    I am going to Notre Dame for college -- hopefully I will be close enough so I can go and at least see the cars next time?

    Won't be many cars, each year we just get together a few users that have mainly flew in for the GP race. For cars go to the Friday night FCA show downtown.

    Rob,

    Allen & I will miss this year's get-together, as we'll just be coming up for race day. Turns out the whole family and some foreign exchange students will be tagging along, so the van comes out and the Ferrari stays home. It's going to kill me to park farther than the American Legion hall across from the track!

    I got another idea, many of us meet Friday night downtown at the square for the FCA car show anyway. How about we just meet there and then head over to Hooters or another downtown place Friday?

    I just want to keep it really informal.

    That one sounds like a good idea. Have I just been missing the hype this year or.....?

    My suggestion - dinner at the Scholar's Inn and fun at the Rathskeller. Both on Mass Ave downtown. Respectable parking for the toy, great food, and fun, international atmosphere at the skeller.

    We are flying in late Friday, so if anyone is doing anything on Saturday night, we would be interested.

    We are also staying for the FCA Concours on Tuesday. FLying back to Houston on Wednesday morning.

    Rob L. - Are you and the Dallas guys attending again this year? My bro in law and I will be back. We should hook up at the track again on Saturday for qualifying. I think we might try and do something Saturday night - bar or "other". Any interest?

    the highlight of the show downtown is the old vintage ferraris, and the f40. I found out the F40 lives down the road from me. I like the Concours on Saturday though. My friends dad puts that one on, ill probably help him drive the cars to the circle.

    I need to call Hooters (maybe Scholar's Inn?) downtown to see about reservations. We can always go somewhere else, however, I think meeting at the show and then towards the end doing a FerrariChat.com dinner downtown is good. I'll provide more details later, just keep adding your name if interested. I will move this thread to Ferrari Discussion now.

    Is anybody staying on after the race for the FCA Nationals?

    I'm coming down on Monday for that event. Would be fun to meet some chatters e.g. on Tuesday at the concours. Any takers?

    I will be staying for Monday and Tuesday after the race for the FCA events on those days.

    We need to have a race gathering on Saturday for Qualifying and a Concours gathering on Tuesday.

    I will be there again with a buddy. We arrive Friday night at about 9:30 pm and fly out Wednesday morning.

    I have my Fchat shirt from last year, so if you see somebody wearing one, stop them and introduce yourself.

    I'll be there for 8 days! Doing it right. Driving in Wednesday night with a caravan of cars from TN, AL, GA, MS, etc. so that we'll be able to get to the track Thursday AM for the pit pass even.

    Leaving the next Wednesday after getting to drive on the Indy F1 track with the FCA.
