Having sat @ Turn 4 for the USGP last year, and Turn 15 for Grand Am as well as V8 supercars, I agree. For GA, Turn 11 is pretty good.

3) My friends and I car-corraled for the Grand Am races. The only bad thing is there were only a certain number of slots available for the laps last time, so they had to split them up, and one of the times was early on Sunday morning, which wasn't too spiffy as the races were done on Saturday (kinda a far drive to go back to the track unless you live in S. ATX). So make sure you ask if there are slots left. Laps were done at low speed, not hot lapping *lol*. We did get to park in a little lot that had nothing but BMWs, which was cool, as well. It was very close to the entrance. The $15 parking ticket difference was worth it.

On another note, were you @ the 4 corners meet? I went, and met someone and his wife w/a 1M local to me, very nice people.
Great info. Thanks for this!

I wasn't at the 4 corners meet. I believe that was forum member Texas F1. http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...0#post14498720
