    There was mention that some people were going to Indy for the F1 races and national Ferrari meet. I would like to get some more info on both events, ie dates, time, ticket cost, travel, accomodations. My work schedule has changed allowing me time to break away. I would like to start planning it or at least lock in the dates and possibly tickets. Anyone out there going for sure or have details that they want to share?

    Rick,

    you can find all the details on:

    http://www.fca2005.com/

    You have to be a FCA member to participate. From the folks on here I know Dave Bendl is going for sure.

    For what its worth: I have room reservations, but I'm not sure yet, whether I'll go or not (a decision that has nothing to do with the event, which I know will be terrific).

    I'm holding on to that reservation, don't worry. It was a bargain price as I did it, before the word was out about USGP and FCA National.

    I'm gonna go to the F1 race.
    I would love to see the concourse, where Dave is going to show his Boxer, but it is on Tuesday, and I really don't want to hang out in Indy for an extra day.

    Just signed up for the FCA event.

    Will drive down there in a mini convoy with Dave and his BBi. Should be fun.

    Well,all that I want to do is go to the Race,and look at the cars. Then get outta Town. 2 Days,I suppose. If anyone else wants to do something along that line,let me know,and we can make some plans.

    Yeah,finding a Hotel in Indy at this point in time is probably null....except for most likely miles out of town...("Bubba's Re-Sort"....:) ) If I can find some place that can park our cars safely for just one night,should be good enough....

    Anyone know the Gun Laws in Indiana...?...:)

    I sent in my application in for the concours event and the F2 package. Andreas & I are planning to drive down Monday morning. I'll be returning Thursday morning. The Marriott has reserved, & I assume secured parking for 100 cars at the downtown hotel at an extra cost of $14/day, so I'm going for that as well. If anyone else would like to convoy, your welcome to join us.
    Dave

    I have a separate relatively unexpensive hotel reservation for the race weekend and I will most likely not need that anymore. So if you're interested, we can work something out.

    I am very interested in the extra hotel reservations and discussing who leaving when and whose going to what events. Since I don't know most of you guys I can't relate your names here to the physical you. Can we discuss this as a group in more detail when we get together at the go carting place?
    You guys can call me 630-724-5302. Also frank never got any of your private msgs, so call me anytime. Rick

    Go kart is a good time to discuss this all.

    BTW: Making a hotel reservation for the FCA event (June 20 - 23) is easy. Basically any hotels available at regular prices and of course the Marriott with the special FCA rate.
