Guys - just to solidify plans for tomorrow. Trying to do lunch at Kona Grill at 12:30pm. Make moves...

Would like to make a reservation - can I get a head count?

Anyone driving in this morning to the Corral? Stuck late working on a late deadline and could not make it out last night.

Traffic looks bad. Which exit is preferred for the corral? 395 and Russel Street are both red and black on the map!

Rush hour traffic, brah. Russel St's gonna be your best bet, unless you go to Keith Ave and weave your way over through Fed Hill.

Wish I could be there today, but I came in to cover the office so a couple employees could take the day off. Tomorrow will be a blast, though.

Got the Corvette Corral, Paddock Pass, and General Admission tix lined up. See you there!

Chris thanks !

Quick update: this morning there was no chicane and the indy cars were getting airborne!

They changed the track midday by grinding the pavement/concrete and putting back the chicanes using tires. They may make this permanent tonight. They had to redo the practice session with the new setup and now they are qualifying!

Anyone know if there is any live/realtime info on the BGP? Edit: Found the qualifying session on ESPN3 !!! Also http://scoring.alms.com/

Thanks!
Loay

Just saw on the news that the M3 and the Viper had pretty bad crashes yesterday because there was no chicane at the Light Rail tracks

I had a great time. I was surprised how much more open it looked compared to last year (less attendees?). My grandstand was probably only 1/3 full at best. I was also surprised how many more cars crashed because of the chicane...was it different than last year? Once they put up the tires around it for the ALMS race, that helped somewhat but a few cars still hit it (the M3 for example). The major crashes right at turn 1 were crazy! I had the perfect seats for it though.
