St Pete GP meet @ Turn 10

[GGoose]

GGoose and I were there yesterday, still contemplating for today and tomorrow. We'll look for peeps at 10. GBG

DIDJA KNOW THAT THERE'S A BAR AT THE TRACK?!!!!!

Anybody taking the morning off work to see the race today?  Admission is free--I'm on my way there in a few minutes.

I'm watching on the computer.......... I bet the bar is not open today... Tisk Tisk!

It wasn't; the whole grassy knoll between the theater and the new Dali was a mud pit and roped off.

It was funny yesterday, I got bored of hanging out in the parking garage so I figured I'd go to the beer garden for one.  My heart sank when I saw it roped off.  I went to the other one and it was still open.  Even though the TV screen had a message announcing a 'Weather Emergency' and calling for all grandstand and hospitality areas to evacuate to the parking garage or theater.

It was sureal
Reminded me of of the Avitar here of the guy hanging on to the canopy
And I kept telling everyone standing under our tarp
IT'S A DRY RAIN then whenever the wind picked up other people were yelling
"     "    "     "        Hilarious and then in between downpours forging thru the lake under the motorhomes to get to the Port o john out by the runway
But hey we saw 3 good support races
I just wish I'd called in sick and got down there today 

[GGoose]

Yeah after I started watching it on the PC I was kicking myself for not bypassing the office and heading down for the race.... Oh well next year!

[Hardpoint]

God hates the IRL.

Hey Dave You post fast 
Great to meet you and keep up the great work
You Rock too bad mother nature gave us a Monsoon 

It was nice meeting you.  I'll stop by for a visit with the Turn 10 people next year at Sebring!

During the monsoon, I had a cooler of beer and big bottle of whiskey in the car so it did not take long for me to get tired of the paddock and theatre shelter. Got properly drunk in the parking garage across from Midtown.

I was there all 4 days and did not see anybody I knew from here. I did see one of my cousins and her super hot friend during the Sunday World Challenge race. Dan Wheldon got them in with pit passes and everything. Hot girls are lucky like that.

I had a lot of fun but miss the ALMS being there.

Hot girls are lucky like that.

And Wheldon qualifies.

It just proves what a stupid ass Barnhart is.... Who the hell has a street circuit with jersey barriers and no drainage holes in the bottoms...... You would think that would be the biggest concern... lets utilize the city's storm drain....

They probably were more worried about a environmental spill getting in to the street drains than a little rain water.

Ummm.... I ain't camping anywhere near you next year
