F1 COTA - This weekend
Ok, guys this is posted in the Racing Den but seeing that some of you may not read that section ---- we are gathering in Austin this Friday at Opal Devines Penn Field; stop by if you can. Opal Divines South Austin Restaurant Bar and Pub
"Alright. I've got a big table (15 people) booked for us outside on the patio for 4pm. The high's supposed to be 75 that day and she said the sunset's really nice from that vantage point. Happy hour is:
- 4-7
- $1 off drafts (huge draft selection)
- $3 house made margaritas (all natural, not the fake syrup crap)
- 1/2 price apps
- and the best part and I quote "F1 cars in the parking lot between 4-7"
......that's what she said and I asked her to clarify, but she said that's just what she was told, so we'll see! It'll probably be the previous year's cars as they were on display last year as well in downtown Austin.
Who's coming with their Lotus? Maybe I can get a special parking section for you guys." posted by - GuppyCaptian

Wish I could make it this year. Last year was a blast other than having absolutely zero (0) cell phone service at COTA. Hope you all have a great time...it's a very nice track!

great to see some really good F1 spirit in the US - it could well end up being a real highlight venue on the circuit if people embrace it.
in montreal it is like a meca event & i can gaurantee you there are always lots of people up from our Southern neighbour.

Depending on traffic leaving the track, we may swing by the gathering on the way back across town. Looks like fun. Since the remote parking will be in the dirt, we will not be in the Lotus, however.

I can promise you that traffic won't be an issue on Friday. It was pretty tame last year. As a matter of fact, traffic wasn't that bad on race day even! Swing on by.

Oh and btw, is there a BRG N/A Evora owner reading this thread that was at COTA with the car last year?

Sorry we didn't make it to the Opal Devine's gathering yesterday. I did take several photos of the practice session and will post a few in a separate thread. Here's one to start.
