Title: Anyone going to INDY GP? Post by: siuformula on July 17, 2013, 05:12:17 PM It appears that I will be going Solo to the GP in Indy. I have the ducati tickets for Fri, Sat, Sun. The other guy I was supposed to ride with backed out and canceled the hotel reservation. Now I can't get it back. Putting out a feeler to see if any one would want to split a room with a 30 year old married guy that gets to get away for a weekend.
Looking for a crowd to hang out with. This will be my first Moto GP. Want to keep the room cost cheap to allow for more entertainment expenses. siuformula@yahoo.com Title: Re: Anyone going to INDY GP?

Title: Re: Anyone going to INDY GP? Post by: ab on July 18, 2013, 08:12:58 PM I am going. Last year was my first time and wouldn't think of missing it. Last year we camped with few ppl. It doesn't look like that will happen. Not sure details but I plan to drive as its just not worth riding there for me. I may have to sleep in the car considering the freakin price of hotels - I haven't even looked as I assume its ridiculous.

For a reace weekend in Indy, that's a steal as some of the slezy hotels close to the track charge $150 on up a night and don't include the happy hour and snacks that the Drury does.
Even hotels out a ways from the track are spendy during race weekends. If I had a camper, it would be different but tent camping in August in Indiana is not my idea of a good time Hehe.

I may just drive race day. It's only about 3 hours for me if all fails.
