Title: Re: Indianapolis Moto GP Who's Going? Post by: Blackout on August 22, 2011, 11:56:50 AM Went last year and had a blast. Jorge and Dovi dined at tables next to us. Make sure you're there for free practice and especially qualifying. The sight and sound down on the front straight will blow your mind.

Title: Re: Indianapolis Moto GP Who's Going? Post by: TJR178 on August 23, 2011, 04:11:18 AM My wife and I will be pulling into the IMS around noon on Friday (coming from Erie, PA) and leaving after the races on Sunday. We're staying at the Marriott downtown (TAft, check your PMs).
If you guys don't know yet, I just found out the flat track races were cancelled yesterday thanks to an email from Ticketmaster (due to the stage collapse last week). Tickets are being refunded. I was looking forward to that, but I'm sure there will be a ton of stuff to do instead. I'll try to find you guys at the camp sites Chris! Title: Re: Indianapolis Moto GP Who's Going? Post by: The ModFather on August 23, 2011, 06:30:05 AM From what I read on the website Ducati owners get access to the Ducati Hospitality Section for themselves plus one. I think you need to bring either your Ducati Owners ID or proof of insurance or registration. Not sure what that really gets you besides a free latte and a wristband but it might be worth checking out. Did anyone else check it out last year? Here's the link:

Here's the link: http://ducatiusa.com/ducati_island_indianapolis___owners_hospitality.do (http://ducatiusa.com/ducati_island_indianapolis___owners_hospitality.do) They do this in Laguna and Indy every year. As an owner, you get access to park on Ducati Island, gear check, and the hospitality tent. In the tent you have coffee, water and some snacks. If you're part of a DOC, then they might have additional events. Also look at the redsnake ride from the dealer to the track, led by our own Grifo. Just show them your insurance or registration and you license. Title: Re: Indianapolis Moto GP Who's Going? Post by: ducati culture on August 23, 2011, 07:56:42 AM Sooo
I will be there on ducati Island.. They have a sweet package deal. I may have an extra parking pass (for a round of stout) if you want to park on ducati island. I will be there friday morning. I am towing th duc if I finish working on the bike tues/wed. Wish me luck either way Iam there. dc Title: Re: Indianapolis Moto GP Who's Going? Post by: dropstharockalot on August 23, 2011, 09:14:22 AM I'll be helping w/ parking @ Duc Island Fri and Sat, then taking my kids to the races Sunday.
I'm local, so if I can be of assistance w/ questions about the track, town, etc... just ask. Title: Re: Indianapolis Moto GP Who's Going? Post by: Düb Lüv on August 27, 2011, 06:02:06 PM We've arrived. Staying at the residence inn on s. Lynhurst.
Be sure you get you alcohol or beer by tonight. No store sales on Sunday. Any beverage allowed as long as its not in a glass container. Coolers are okay as long as it's smaller than 16x16x16. Outside food allowed. Title: Re: Indianapolis Moto GP Who's Going? Post by: The ModFather on August 30, 2011, 04:53:13 AM Had a great time. Going next year for sure. If you havent eaten at the Rathskellar downtown its a must. Great German food, great beer selection and decent prices. They've been open since 1884! Highly recomended!! We stayed at the Westin where the Ducati team was staying and they rented about 15 Mercedes SUVs to get themselves around town!! Here's a pic of my baby in front of they're Mercede's lineup.

Post by: gr1976 on August 30, 2011, 05:20:57 AM Had a great time. Going next year for sure. I hope it comes back next year. Motorcycles on Meridian was out of hand Saturday night. I think if they can't make the GP happen next year it will be AMA Superbike. Title: Re: Indianapolis Moto GP Who's Going?

Cant wait! ;D Just saw this, but I rode down from Chicago... great time as usual... Was a bit disappointed with the lack of riders on I65 on the way back, we usually take over the highway, but not this year... How about those Harley's... :> Title: Re: Indianapolis Moto GP Who's Going? Post by: zooom on September 02, 2011, 08:10:59 AM I haven't been to Indy for the GP since '08....but I thought hangin at the Slippery Noodle was awesome and I had an awesome meal at St Elmo's !!!
Title: Re: Indianapolis Moto GP Who's Going? Post by: Uncle Mofo on September 02, 2011, 08:37:10 PM We (hoosier hooligans) had a blast as usual. Ducati island shenanigans, hanging out with friends I get to see once a year, leading the red snake ride and grandstand choreography.
Awesome. Title: Re: Indianapolis Moto GP Who's Going? Post by: mattc7 on September 03, 2011, 08:40:11 AM I was there. #3 in the monster challenge.

Congratulations on your bile it was truly my favorite. Thanks! Great meeting you too, sorry we didn't get a chance to chat more down there. I appreciate the support! Hopefully I'll make it down again next year. Indy was awesome! It was a LONG drive home. Flights back east were all canceled, so finalist #2 and I took the rental car and drove back to NY (he lives closeby in CT). 13.5 hours straight through, with a couple quick meal stops. |
