Just got two GA tickets (that's what we did in 2012, and had a great time).

Who else is going?

Code is CIRCUIT, if you're not on their email list.

Were you able to print the tickets? I heard last year was a calamity and a half with people not receiving their tickets in time and that in 2012 they sent out nice looking tickets. So what'd you get?

Are you shuttling in from a hotel or campground?

I hope I can, I've gone the past two years and had a great time but right now it's impossible to know what my schedule will be like around then... I'm dying to hear the turbo V6's in person, so hopefully I can make it.

I'll be there!!! :]

My wife and I might have half of our faces painted like skulls as we are cheering for our paisanos (Checo, Esteban) and the race is happening on the Day of the Dead (Mexico) :]

I'd like to camp eventually, but going with my wife this time and that wasn't her idea of a good time - ha! We'll be staying with my brother who lives down there, and will ride a shuttle in.

I plan on it.
I went to the last USGP at Indy back in 2007, and it was fantastic.

Got my tickets yesterday. Done T12 the last two years and decided to give T9 a try this year. I should have great views of T6-11 and the long straight. Mostly excited to see them blast through T10 flat out. One of the few downsides to T12 is the stadium section doesn't really show off the cars at higher speeds since it's the technical part of the track. It was always great for seeing those DRS passes and drivers in the support series dive-bombing 12.

Turn 9 is where we camped out in 2012 - very cool to see the cars coming through the esses, and then hear them going full throttle and then downshifting to prepare for 11.

You're right. I need to find out where I can camp so I can save on lodging and then get grandstand seats.

yeah, same here but I've heard that apparently the turbo v6's actually sound really cool in person, and I'd like to compare the two from experience rather than just speculate from what I hear on TV during the race, because the v8's sounded even more awesome in person so I figure that it's going to be different hearing it for myself.

I hope you're right, but I'm preparing myself...

Sweet. I went with two of my brothers last time, my wife is coming this time (although we might convince my dad and brothers to come, too).

I didn't pay for parking - we'll just get up early, stand in line and catch a shuttle downtown. Thinking it'd be fun to camp. Maybe next year!
