Oh, crap! I didn't know that. How much are we going to miss. I doubt they broadcast practice and qualifying like speed does.

They will be on their NBC Sports channel. Doubt you'll see much on the actual NBC channel itself, maybe 1 or 2 races a year (and races only).

Thoughts on Bernie's upcoming bribery indictment verdict out of Munich? My bro' calls him Teflon Man. Not sure myself. Wonder what sponsors will do if he is handed a guilty.

Flying out this evening, let the festivities begin.

First stop Matamoros...

[EeePee]

Hell yeah man! Have a good time, shouldn't be hard to do.

You wear ear plugs?








Make a big * poster to hold up! You know, for your location.

[Postclanker]

Hold a poster....that's funny...hope he can actually get to the race, not many roads in and out of there.

Only racing event I ever had ear plugs was the inaugural Indy F1 race. They were v-10's, but you could feel them in your chest. It's a fabulous event to be a part of....hope you have a great time Sgt

We have a FanVision that will require headphones, we'll see how loud the track is at practice.

I hope I'm not holding an umbrella with a * on it...

It's cloudy and in the low 60's here, BOO!

Here's a few pics from downtown Austin this morning.

All your hate on NBC coverage and they go and get pretty much the same team as Speed had.

Well, our seats are at turn 12, but we have spent most of the day standing in lines FOR FUK'n EVERYTHING!

I'll post pics if we make-it to the hotel tonight...

Great track layout, but their logistical planning is horrible. The good news is there's going to be 50% more people here Sat, and 100% more on Sun.

**** you, you're there. Like it, damn it!

How's it sound? What are you liking?

My work is 11 miles from the track I can hear them.

Sgt, you staying Downtown ?

The volume is far less than it was at Indy, but we were in the grandstands back then not out in the open. We are 20 rows up on turn 12, we can see most of the back straight, turns 12, 13, 14, 15, and some of 5, and 1.

Yup, we've had the reservations for more than a year. It's madness at the FanFest a block away from the hotel.

[EeePee]

Kick ass, thanks for the video.

I was watching the press conference on Sky and they put this up at the end cause of last week's swearings.
