US GP Austin 2013 Advise

Vettel is leading.

 

Lol

 

Is that where you were last year? On the inside of T1? I was there with my wife for the first 3 or 4 laps of the race. We may have rubbed elbows. I think I'll try the outside this time. I think I may be able to get some better or least different shots.

 

Schatten's right. They don;t officially allow ped entry, but they're so short-staffed they can't really do anything about it even if they want to. Even the Sheriff's Deputies running traffic control by the entrances off 812 have never even looked twice at me when I've come in or out that way. They did make some noise a week or two back, acting like the Sheriffs were going to be extra vigilant trying to stop peds, but I just don;t see it. They'll have their hands full with traffic. I think they're mostly just trying to limit liability.

 

Got mine last week and they are they are not the Ticketmaster version. Bought through FCA Website.

I have now two tickets (for different seats), one a ticketmaster version and one looking like that. Both purchased from scalpers. Go figure.

 

My T3 tickets look the same.

 

Andrea - send me a pm with your cell number. Where will you be sitting on sat?

And of course, the Fan Festival downtown.

If you need any tips on where to eat, where to grab good beer, or an excellent drink, drop me a line.

 

And lets not forget the Pole Position 2013 art gallery downtown:
Pole Position 2013 ? Presented by Kevin Paige Art Registration, Austin - Eventbrite

That's where I'll hang out on Friday night.

And of course FerrariChat's very own party on Saturday night.

Regardless, I'm thrilled to see how many events are happening in town. I love it when a city embraces its Grand Prix! This all sounds like a return visit to me.

 

Kevin's a great guy and produces some incredible work. I met him at a Wild Bubba Meet & Greet event two years ago. It's great to see him in action.

This was at Montreal in 2008 where at a GP VIP event a lucky customer received a painting of Prost with the Professor in presence.

And yours truly was the only one who brought a Sharpie along so Alain could actually sign the painting (plus some memorabilia from my own collection...).

Since then Kevin has done a bunch of Ferrari, Lotus and MB artwork. He really seems to like Massa.

The other shot is from a live painting session he did during Saturday practice at Montreal. He paints everything from memory.

I think I was probably standing right there when you shot that pic...

Vance came up with the idea & he & I helped Bubba put on that party. At the Senna premier I met a girl out front who knew Kevin & that's how we got ahold of him for the Meet & Greet.

 

Niiiice! It is a small city.

Hmm, makes me wonder whether there will be any show F1 cars at the Austin airport or anywhere else in town?

I always love those for close up shots, even if they are fake

 

Last year, there were f1 cars roped off in some of the hotels.

Four Season's Hotel always has some great cars out front.

The people watching at the bar is top notch as well.

Meeting some Houston Ferrari owners there Friday at 5:30 if anyone wants to join.

 

Do you remember which ones?

 

Are there any F1-related events in Austin tonight or tomorrow? I have the Red Bull lecture at UT on my calendar but didn't know if there was much else going on.

 

Fota fan forum is tomorrow; cedar st courtyard. 5:30-7:30
