My neighbor is a big wig at the track, she's offered me tickets and I've turned them down based on what people were telling me about last year. I was talking to her husband last week and he turned down owner suit tickets due to the getting there and back issues.

BTW, pretty much everything outside the Main GS is selling now on the secondary market for significantly less than face value. Guys are trying to dump tickets, even on reddit, and not getting any bites.

Hmmmm maybe it'll be less crowded this year.  One can hope!

I'll take 'em!  I'll be out there all weekend, no getting there and back issues necessary.

Speaking of...

Have any of you twitter/insta masters seen any good posts from the teams or drivers in/around Austin yet this week?  I'm not much of a social media guy, but I know they often do location-oriented stuff (like Ricciardo in Western Wear), so I usually rely on you all to relay what you see. :)

Sir Lewis was shown at the Chargers/Broncos game last night in LA.  Looks like he had decent seats.

Probably won't see anything in Austin until Wednesday.

Yep. Spine tingling. F1 is better with better sound from the cars.

I assume this is shopped, but got interested and found this is at the Midpoint Cafe on Route 66 in Adrian, Tx.

I’m happy that the race is in our time zone but there’s something about waking up early Sunday morning with a cup of coffee and watching Brundle act like a chicken with his head cut off during the pre-race grid walk. Good stuff. 

agreed, kind of hate the fact it's at 2p for that reason.

True, true.

But there's something even better about waking up at the racetrack, walking out your RV's front door, and listening to the sound of screaming engines blasting out of Turn1 and through Turns 2, 3, and 4, with a screwdriver or bloody mary in your hand. ;)

Ha! So looked at the landscape and the blurry signs. Thought it looked like a "40" and knew it was an interstate sign. Then I looked where I-40 ran and saw that the bottom word could be "Amarillo". Googled "Amarillo cafe sign" to see if I could find a google image. Came up with this: 

image.png.f129547ba27d08ef4b1d3e924e56a8e8.png

That told me it was in Adrian, TX. So back to Google Maps.

I should get a real job.

that is the sign in adrian, tx.  it's just not a recent image that alpha tauri has put its car in, giving away that it was chopped. 

 

stratfor is probably hiring people who can use google to geolocate.

here you go: https://goo.gl/maps/AJUq5ioDEP3MTygi8

and that pic was actually before april 2021 as well because by then, the old route 66 sign was down.  looks like it was there in october 2011 at least.

If any of y'all are looking for tickets, I just saw someone on reddit selling two 3-day seats at T9. Paid $2600 total. He's hoping to get $1200 total.

Y'all ready for a hot one? 88 degrees forecast for Sunday at COTA. With a south wind, the lack of shade, and the long periods spent in the sun, that's like 95+ anywhere else in town.

That's what I was thinking too.

Just wait for the midnight (our time) Vegas race next year.

Hmmm. I retired a year ago, so I have time. I might actually look into that.

What's the white flag on the end? Judging by the others, I'm assuming it's for the NY Yankees.
