Quote HistoryQuoted: Monaco is going to be embarrassing in these new cars. It's a terrible race, and barring something crazy, is over by the last lap of Q3. Sunday might as well just be a parade. Just add bunting and a mayor with a comb-over riding around in a '68 Buick convertible. m |

Will never happen obviously, but great to think about. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That would be about the only way I will get to see F1 in person. The wife loves it too, but she doesn't fly. I'm not going to get enough time off to drive across the country and back any time soon (Austin is a maybe possibility, but a hard time of the year for me to get away). Bring one to Vegas! Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Race coming to Vegas? "This year features two races in America, with the first Miami Grand Prix taking place on May 8, while Las Vegas looks likely to make it three U.S. races. A Vegas race will likely be confirmed in the weeks leading up to Miami's debut race." Bring one to Vegas! I would like to see the location vary. Hit the Glen one year, something out west another. Road America and Atlanta in other years and so on. Finding the money to upgrade the stands and pit facilities would be a problem. |

Finding the money to upgrade the stands and pit facilities would be a problem. Problem for The Glen, is it's in the middle of nowhere. There's no major airport nearby, no hotel facilities to speak of, just a few restaurants, the town just completely lacks the infrastructure to host an international event that big. I go every year for IMSA, which is a completely different animal to F1. The local amenities would never handle such a massive crowd descending upon it from all corners of the globe. Shame, since it's such a classic F1 track from the 70's. Even the buildings on Main Street still have giant murals painted on them from those F1 races back then. |

I've questioned about Road America before so that's out there. But as to lodging and hotels for the event if the PGA could gold a major event nearishby then I would think that F1 could be doable if the necessary upgrades were made to the track.

As much as I'd like to see it at RA, the track is not a good fit with current racing setup. Too many hard barriers, not enough run off and no ability to support their need for stands (variable seat cost). RA is set up for casual viewing via a lot of grassy areas. Adding stands would ruin the venue for the other events. |

Best I could do in Feb was 1:32, but I thought that was decent having not been in a 911 or on RA in 10 years. Pretty sure I left at least 5 seconds between 1, 2-3, 5, 12 and coasting through 9 due to the reverb over 140.  That was on Dunlop Race Maxx.
