Can't wait either... i guess we have to get our tickets at the gate since we didnt get them in time for them to ship them to us... I havent a clue as to where we are meeting, i am assuming nic will talk with steve tonight when nic picks up the car... and no, we have no fricking clue where to park...

Ok, this should be a blast then!! That's right, Nic left the car at the shop! He's picking it up tonight? I'm assuming they'll discuss it then.....

So what do I need to bring? Have you gone to an F1 race before? Do I need ear plugs?
