US Grand Prix-F1 Austin TX October 21-23 2016

The US F1 Grand Prix is again in Austin TX October 21-23 2016. I have gone every year and it is a can't miss event for race car fans (Even wearing 3 plastic ponchos during last years big rain storm).
For those attending The local Hill Country PCA is hosting a night at the world famous Franklin's BBQ on Saturday night from 6-9pm with an open bar included.. The info is in this weeks PCA newsletter online. Only 60 reservations being taken.
If you are thinking of going and have not bought your tickets I would share the following experiences and what I would do. I have been in the Ferrari paddock with all the bells and whistles including cappuciano served by beautiful Italian girls and in cheap general admission seats and I would highly recommend the GA seats where you pick a different grandstand each day. It is cheaper ad you get a far better view of the races then you do from the start/finish line.

I'm going this year with a budy who insisted on signing up for one of those mega tours with all the fancypants features, so no GA this time around... But if you have any suggestions for places to eat or have a drink in the evening, let me know!

Definitely walk through downtown Austin. The music is busting out on every street corner. I highly recommend taking advantage of the Hill Country PCA event on saturday night at Franklin's BBQ.

Thanks - that Hill Country event looks like a good one
