What about the reasonably-priced-for-us-poor-folk tickets?

Or do we know forty people with about 1k in hand?

I know how you can get in free AND get a hotel room...

... of course it means you have to work (but not very hard).

Me too, well except without the hotel room. Of course my way might not involve working at all!

Does your way involve hot-track passes?

Reminds me of the time at age 9 I was one of 3 Course Marshalls for one of the TWS IMSA races... with a hot-track pass. We even made it on the TV coverage ...towing a port-a-can with an Explorer.

Is there going to be a rotard gathering over that weekend?

We are working with Mazda to setup a GTG with the possibility of some VIP access. Details are sketchy since it's still 6 months + away.

I'll be there doing worker registration, and hanging out (since there's enough people signed up that we're working in shifts). I'll probably be there or in the paddock.

^ Chris and Scott, which one of you two can sneak a buddy and I into places we're not supposed to go? Preferably places very, very close to the track or racecar drivers. We've already got paddock passes.

I won't be able to answer that question until the weekend, when I find out how much registration I'll be working.

Bear in mind, though, that I know the lady doing a lot of the organization. And she lufs me.


PS - I got dibs on Katherine Legge.

If you're the best she could do she should be very easy to bribe

Looks like I will be working in the SCCA booth keeping a watchful eye on Enzo Ferrari's first race car.
