  1. Professionalism. This place needed a professional to run it a decade ago. They've never looked at the place from a fan's point of view and looked at the problems and what to fix/change. Bobby Epstein. Call me. Call this group. We can walk you through things that would make this a much better facility instead of me whining about your outsourced 3rd party crackheads every year.
  2. I see my drunk ass taking a beautiful nap between qualifying and Billy Joel and then once again, waking up, grabbing my chair and walking to the side of the superstage inside the RV area. You can't see shit, but you can hear it beautifully.
  3. My review. Worked like a dog to get my info in to get garage/pit passes. Had to do a couple of online forms. Wife got her second one the day before, I didn't, so had to ping my contact at the team and they resent immediately, filled it out, sent in. Got to Lot T about 9:30 on Sunday and was suprised to see how many cars had beaten me there, 9:30 was when Nascar said they were opening prescreening so that's technicall the earliest we could get there. Found the white tent, they tried to shuffle us away, I explained we were a guest of a team and oh yes, got your qr code, scan, temperature check, verified no health issues, good to go. Texted my contact and he met us at the tunnel. Stuck our health sticker onto guest pass and away we went. Found suite. Found drinks and some packaged scones and found a seat to watch qualifying. Eventually got bored and hopped my happy ass downstairs and roamed the pits a bit. Was down there for the start of the Italian tractor race and saw Daniel Suarez's car in bits in the garage. Went back up, grabbed some lunch, let the guy know we wanted to tour the garage, see Daniel again and be on pit road for the opening festivities (Due to the Rona, only drivers and team members are allowed on the hot side. This was only the second race that guests have been allowed). Went down, met Daniel at his trailer, walked around talking about Nascar and our contact's various employers, found the pit wall garage opening which happened to be by Daniel's car and hung out there for national anthem and start. Oh yeah, met Justin Marks down there. Saw Bubba come out of his trailer. Also blacksimiled another guy that I thought was Bubba. Wife wanted to go back up so we found a spot to light up there inside, grabbed more drinks and I went down once more to roam and see what I could. For F1 and MotoGP, I'm usually on the back straight at an RV. We can see part of the esses, some of the stuff after it, and 11 if on top of the stand and down to 12. I think I like that view of Cota better than the front straight. Watching them go by and then up the hill is nice. Having pit passes is always nice and I do like that they are RIGHT below Cota Club. I like a good suite, but you just can't see shit from there. If I'm being wined and dined like that, I like Texas Motor Speedway better. You can easily see the entire track from the suites. The difference at TMS is there is no outdoor part unless you go down to the main grandstand level or walk over to the pits. Just doesn't make for good race watching on the front at Cota. Overall, we had fun. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, and hope that for F1 I'm back at the back straight because I don't know any vendors that sponsor F1. OH, Cota parking still run by crackheads. We left a little before the race was over in the monsoon and I was glad we did. They had nobody directing you out of T except the cops at 812. After the race, that would have been a disaster. Never change Cota, Never change.
  4. We have a friend (SMOKING HOT) that was working that one Sunday. Apparently that was the vodka of COTA because it's what they had up in the club level, too.
  5. I wish my vendor that does F1 and MotoGP was doing a tailgate on the back straight for this one, but they couldn't get anyone to call them back... not sure of the story. My other vendor that sponsors a car came through with a couple of Paddock Club passes. Last weekend, I was researching and found out they were going to allow in 550 guests to the pit/garages (8 per car, 4 per driver, 40 track, 50 Nascar), so I shot off an email and was like "Hey buddy.. can you hook me up even more?" And he came through with some pit passes for the cup race. So look for my drunk ass to be wandering around down there while the wife probably sits upstairs. I hope to get there early enough on Sunday to see qualifying and the Lambo race, but that's up to the wife.
  6. I thought yall might like this. (I guess this is the right thread for it). Dan Dunn has Ronnie Lott and Michael Jordan (the wine guy) on his latest podcast episode of "What We're Drinking with Dan Dunn" They are having an upcoming wine thing and talking about that but also talking football. Dan asked Ronnie who was harder to tackle: Walter Peyton, Bo Jackson, or Barrie Sanders. Without a pause, Ronnie said Earl Campbell. Said he hit back as hard as you hit him. "All of those are phenomenal athletes...but Earl just ran with a something extra in him, had some defense in him where he wanted to punish you"
  7. Around me, they tend to be the methy kind of interesting. Canyon is finally turning a little more affluent, but there are some meth head families. that have been there since the lake was built. Operation: Crystal Lake-39 Arrested In Comal County
  8. Looks like half the boys that drive jacked up pickups with giant trump flags hanging off the back.
  9. Shit, then my small county has had a fucking ginormous outbreak with 62 cases Wednesday, 68 on Tuesday and 72 on Monday. Guys, I'm beginning to think he's not good with numbers.
  10. I mean, he is a medical expert.. he sells pillows, that's gotta mean something.
  11. Fall is so gonna suck once flu season kicks in. Damn shame we had a chance to kick this thing goodbye in March/April.
  12. Dollar BIll junior calling out the kids. Dang.
  13. Uhm, please have a seat over there?
  14. ancedotally, I'm not seeing the number of 'Drive through covid testing' posts that I used to. Hays County seemed like they were doing 3-4/day a month ago and now I don't really see them.
  15. She gonna milk that 15 minutes for all it's worth. Needs to figure out how to get SNL to make fun of her and she'll be a shoe in.
  16. Our school district has a handy dandy Covid tracker. Can't wait to see how high that number gets a week or 2 after school opens. Tracker
  17. Taking our son back to *mumbles place* tomorrow. 5 of his 6 classes are online. I think his mentoring of first generation students might be in person. He wants to go back and live mostly in his dorm room. We'll see how this goes. We let him make the call, I was good either way (though I am a little tired of him being home for 5 months). He's been working at "America's Favorite Waterpark" in the gift shops and their rules are pretty strict - everyone must wear a mask in the store, no try on, no returns, so it's cut down on people - and seems to have done ok. We'll see how he does around 60k college aged kids making questionable decisions.
  18. I've termed it 'Ostrich Summer'. They stuck their heads in the sand, ignoring what they should do and instead doing what they want to go. Thanks yall, appreciate it.
  19. That's just a word people use these days. They usually throw it out with libtard, socialist, marxist, leftist, all that shit. When you see a word salad like that - time to move on, not even worth talking to.
  20. Our (actually I live right over the line in Guadalupe) health department posts daily Covid updates. Every day I read the comments and am just floored by some of the responses. Today's is a great example. They post the numbers and get shit back like this from the nut jobs:
  21. Private schools, what a freaking disaster those already are. No certification required for teaching at one. We have a few acquaintances that 'teach' at private school. I would not waste a dime on them.
