F1 Fans

Formula 1 is really the only sporting event that I truly enjoy and I can’t wait the 47 more days until the 2008 season begins. I would assume that there are other fans on 6. Is there a local place or group of people that meet for the races?

you gotta do the Montreal F1 race. Its THE event that I look forward to every year. Good mix of cars, racing, women, bars, clubs, food. Crazy time. Lashss puts togeather a drive for the event every year from DC. Last year= 4-5 tickets, 163 in the Mallett, the raping of a V-Rod and being flashed by strippers in training.

Don't waste your money on tickets. Get general admin from a scalper and wander around. The bud tent is where its at! Plus there is usually someone in the group with rediculously good seats that will let you sit in them for a few laps if you want.

That would be awesome. To watch a live F1 race is one of the things I must due in life.



I don’t know if the shop is still running, but there use to be a cigar and mainline motorsports (?) shop located next to the Lexus dealership in Haverford PA. I will look into it.

Kazzer is right, words can't describe how much fun I/we have had in Montreal for F1 over the past four years! I can't wait to go back this year!

Here is a recap from our '05 trip:

BTT, I would love to meet up and watch some races. I am subscribing to this one!

God Bless,

whitlock is spot on here on Montreal... we missed 2007, but otherwise been doing Montreal GP w/ a small crew for few years now and it is rediculous fun. The restaurant/bar "Globe" is especially fun. We shut this place down dancing on the tables in '06.

And if you think attending an F1 race is boring or just watching cars go around in circles then you haven't a clue.

Here are some of my pics from Montreal F1 '06. Can't wait for this season!
