Sucks you can't make it, Chrissy :sad

If any of you guys know of a last minute decider that needs a ticket let me know asap so Chrissy can try and get some of her money back. It's the 3-day general admission ticket and comes with the coupons for the gift shops, VIP parking permit for a motorcycle, and the lap around the track on Monday (thought it was Thursday but was wrong). I'd like to get her full $75 back if possible.

Chrissy - I posted up on some other forums as well in hopes of finding a taker. If I have any luck I'll let you know.

I have 3 Moto GP tickets that I can not use. I was going with a buddy and brother, but it fell through. They are very nice tickets South Vista Deck section 12, row A. You would be above the grandstands on the deck and from my understanding in the front row. The tickets are on ebay right now, but if they do not sell than I would offer it to anyone here for $20 for overnight shipping. If you want them pm me. First come first serve. Again I need to wait until the auction ends, but will overnight them as soon as it is done.


Also, I have a 4 day tent pass. Same deal. As soon as the auction ends I will overnight it to the first to pm me with interest.

At least the race will be over with before the remnants of Ike comes through Indiana on Sunday.

By the way, any pictures of umbrella girls that end up on my camera will be blamed on you "borrowing" my camera, Tim ;)

Have a great weekend one and all

It will be a very interesting weekend, mix in a new track, maybe some poor weather, Dani on Bridgestones, and trick daddy determined to put on a good show to just stick it up them (Go Trick Daddy, you never really paid Dani back for almost derailing your championship!!)

Hope Michelin put up a good show, would be great to see Edwards toward the front on Sunday

Some guys from PNWRiders got in yesterday and where commenting on the weather, so I wonder if you've got a USMotoGP poncho yet?
Shucks though, I wish I could be there too.

Made it home safe and sound. Wet day yesterday, but was a good time. Stinks we didn't get to see the 250s run. That wind was something nasty yesterday. Lot of power was out on the north side of Indy on our way home. Was great to meet the guys although it was a bit hard to stay together and meet up. Hopefully the weather will be better next year.

Despite some of the gripes the riders had I hope that it pans out well for Indy to keep the GP race there. Just wish the damn sport would grow a bit faster over here. We had several people in our hotel that were from all over the world and was cool to talk to some of them. I'd like to see the vendor area redone for next year. Was really disappointing compared to the setup they had at Laguna. Too crowded and about a billion degrees in those little garages. Did give a nice shelter from the weather, but too damn crowded to really enjoy looking around at anything.

Hopefully we'll be planning for a gathering in 2009 as well :banana
