    That sounds interesting, I'm staying in the big green house, South Congress and Live Oak, drop on by!!

    Look for the 308GTB under a cover, in the alley just north of Lucy's Chicken, by the giant mosaic squid sculpture..

    As to the OP, I'll be serving drinks in a VIP booth, as close as I get.

    Look for my black Cadillac CTS at the green house on the corner, (orange and stonework columns) across South Congress from the (now closed ) Treehouse Italian place.

    My host is named Sterling, his wife is Sharon, I know they'd love to see your car!

    Headed up this afternoon...might catch Happy Hour at Expose..:D :D
    My gf arrives tomorrow..;)

    LOLOL I was busy 8-8 between F1, my Lambo issues, looking for a place, title, License,etc

    Sorry tex I didnt reach out to ya.

    Pros
    1. Killer suite right at turn 2, indoor & upper outdoor area's!! Free booze, food, drinks
    2. passes to parties (so-so parties), concert (awolnation), Vip for pitbull concert ( would of been good if it wasnt at the end of day & HOT as hell)
    3. Lots of mercedes-petronas SWAG
    4. shuttles all day to & from track
    5. up close & personal with ALL teams paddocks.
    6. Personal seminars with many drivers, autograph sessions,etc
    7. Free parking pass (if you ask)
    8. Hotel W was the spot to be, meet, hang, etc Many ladies!! WOW! local, Foreign,etc

    Cons:
    1. Traffic, traffic, traffic.....did I mention tons of traffic!! Helicopter to & from next year!
    2. Not enough food, appetizer stuff :(
    3. HOT as hell
    4. Parking where our suite boxes were was out in the sticks! LOLOL
    5. Lots of walking in the heat! whole place is like a small town!
    6. Everything is priced 5x the norm!!!
    7. The auto auction was price gouging on attending, viewing ,etc

    The Suite at turn 2 & sitting next to someone that had some type of app/website that gave you LIVE #'s as the race went by- made it worth it!

    See ya next year!

    we did not experience this traffic at all and we hit the track all three days...parking in lot L at turn 11. stayed with a buddy of mine who lives near barton springs and we got to our parking spot in less than 30min on race day (arrived just before the vintage race). made it back to his house in under 40min right after the main event was over. I thought they did a pretty good job with traffic management but then again, we may have taken some better routes. we went in through the main entrance in the morning but bailed through the back way via 71, which was the way to go if you parked where we were. I thought the same thing last year - traffic went much smoother than we expected.
