PJPR01 Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 Well...there's nothing written in stone that you have to watch the race from the same spot, right? You can always meet up after the race...so each can park and watch from wherever is good...
LowRyter Posted February 24, 2019 Author Posted February 24, 2019 Looks like we worked it out. We intend to get Duc Island tickets in T1 (includes lunch, parking, zip line, swag, pace lap for my Duc). That's a $30-50 premium over seat + parking. Consider there's no food or drink allowed and the prices for concessions are through the moon- ready parking to the bike stash is worth it alone. For now, Mike in Austin, Darren and I will be in Duc Isl. Darren and I are staying at the Rodeway, the only cheap motel in town (BTW- stay away from Motel 6).
bbolesaz Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Even though the track lap is slow, it is still a hoot. Entering turn 1 at street speeds is awe inspiring, I can't conceive of doing it at race speed.
LowRyter Posted March 31, 2019 Author Posted March 31, 2019 I thought I'd bump this and see who else is going?
bbolesaz Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 I'm still in. I'll be at Turn 18 in the shadow of the tower.
LowRyter Posted April 1, 2019 Author Posted April 1, 2019 Darren and I haven't got tickets yet but we're planning to be in T1 grandstands with another Guzzi rider (MJP on Wild). T18-19 are right at the ticket booth entrance. That little complex is where all the wrecks happen. I remember seeing Marquez flung off there the first year during practice. we'll try to figure out some kind of meet-up or dinner. Perhaps BBQ at Kreitz or Blacks down in Lockhart on Saturday before the Hand Built show?
bbolesaz Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 Blacks in Lockhart then the HB show sounds like a plan to me. I can be reached at 480- eight sixty one - twenty eight sixteen.
PJPR01 Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 I'll be riding up Sunday morning...will probably hit Blacks on the way out of town after the race with my friend Tom who will be there on his Stelvio... No tickets available at turn 1, but was able to get a ticket at Turn 15... I'll probably wander over to Turn 1 during the practice sessions...will see if I can find you John there before the start of the race. Cheers.
LowRyter Posted April 4, 2019 Author Posted April 4, 2019 Darren and me will be in Sec 4 turn 1 grandstands. Mike in Austin is one row back. There are still T1 tickets on Vivid, I just checked- discounted. COTA pretty well sux doing tickets and hospitality. Paul, PM with cell, we'll work it out.
docc Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 You guys are amazing braving this event. I have a buddy going for the first time and I warned him about the food and water . . . (worse than Barber Vintage Festival!) . . . beers must be a thousand dollars!
LowRyter Posted April 4, 2019 Author Posted April 4, 2019 docc- I think $8 -12 for (shorty) beer. You can get *free* water to fill your bottle. I went to first day of first Moto GP and they took a 5 year old's PP&J. The kid was on special diet. True. You can bring anything into Barber: booze, food, contraband. I've camped there 3 times. I think they were doing drunken motorcycle jousting one night -at least I was told, I have no memory of it. 1
LowRyter Posted April 5, 2019 Author Posted April 5, 2019 Info about Black's https://www.blacksbbq.com/lockhart.html They've been all over cable on various travel and food stations
