Also. I have a bad feeling about this amusement park. Was amazed they built a parking garage for it. I predict it ends up as some Chernobyl type place. But maybe I’m wrong

I've thought it was bizarre from the beginning.

I have an idea if Epstein and company want to make more money at a racetrack-- how 'bout, hold more RACES???  Also, PROMOTE those races???

Just spit-balling here.

Yeah I've said from the beginning when he started off on all these tangents: It's a race track. Just focus on having the best racing facility you can, with as much great racing as you can host, with the best racing fan experience possible, and sit back and watch all that money flow in.

It's not rocket surgery.

Text from a friend a little while ago ... " You know, a few months ago someone told me that Epstein wants to turn COTA into a Gaylord-type property. Bless his heart ... "

So is it going to be permanent to not be able to walk from the main entrance to the main grandstand area? Annoying if so. That has screwed me the last few times I’ve been out there

Yeah I walk that stretch all the time from my turn 15 seats to my friends' main grandstand seats and the Velocity Lounge.  Having to walk the bridge to the infield and taking the tunnel takes a little longer.

Shade would be nice for sure. The profit off the food cut they're taking could plant a forest. $48 for three lemonades. Ok.

But I gotta say it's been fun for not knowing anything about F1, other than what my kids tell me.

And the off site parking at Pops today was the tits. Easy in, easy out (that's what she said) and right across the street. Still absurd but cheaper than Cota's bullshit parking.

It was the hottest sporting event I’ve ever been to. Way less shade and seating than Singapore. If Singapore is an 8 out of 10 for the event, i thought COTA was a 3.

They should get smaller screens also. 50 inch Jumbotrons are just too big…

Yeah ...and the city council put it in writing before the place was built that they had to plant something like 2 or 3000 trees. They just said "OK", then never did it, in true Bobby Epstein style.

Where is Pop's? I'm always looking for good parking alternatives on the off chance that I might actually wanna go out there again someday.

Yeah the hottest place in Austin in the summer and coldest in the winter used to be the Disch. Now it's COTA. The hottest sporting event I ever attended was WEC a few years ago, even though it was only like 95. The problem is that you're out there for hours with nowhere to take a break from the sun. It's brutal. Ant Davidson drove in the race, and said it was by far the hottest experience he's ever had in a race car. He's also driven in Singapore, Bahrain, etc ...

And fuck yeah ... with the monitors being so far away across the track as they are, they're way too small to use to actually try to follow what's happening. Can't read the graphics.

Right across the street from main entrance.
Very well organized. Multiple entrance lanes, several staff. Multiple exits of 812 gets nuts.

That’s where I parked but didn’t move for like 30 mins leaving. Eventually they opened up exit 2 and we got out really quick. Not sure what was going on with that

Atmosphere be damned. Some events are just too unpleasant in person and more enjoyable spectated from home. 
 

Austrian and Hungarian GP were like that for me. Not seeing shit like that again unless its from a box.

Counterpoint: you can’t get $30 cocktails and $24 tacos at home.
