Canadian GP 2016

Interested. I'm not sure how many days I'll be up there but it sounds like fun

Let me know if you are interested in joining us for some of our events.

Hey Lash! No mystery. We usually have a GP Party.

But it's pretty lo key and relaxed when at my house and always dependent on weather. So it's last minute when I actually find out who's in or out.

We had fun with you guys a few years ago on the South Shore but the following year was in the cold rain of Little Italy.

Not sure I could handle your big crew at my house, but we'll stay in touch and hopefully connect this year!

Looks like fun!

We are getting excited for the race weekend.

Let's coordinate a meeting for the whole gang.

Or, I could sneak away from the group and stop by to say hi.

Thanks,
LSJ

Whats the best area to watch the race from. I'm looking to buy some tickets and was open to input for the place for the best experience

The hairpin area is always popular and sees plenty of action...

Nice. Thanks

I've tried them all and always sit here. You can see the start, the end the straight and the madness into and out of corners 1 and 2.

Thanks guys. At Austin we sat in the braking zone. This time we'll sit closer to the full throttle zone!! 25% louder this year

David B is correct that section 11 or 12 are some of the best areas to view.

The only caution here is that if it rains, it will be an hour walk from the entrance of the subway to this area. There is a narrow sidewalk that thousands of fans funnel onto if there is a lot of mud from rain.

Any word on a title sponsor for this year's race?

Usually, it is Budweiser...

Thanks,
LSJ

Rain? Montreal?

This was a while ago (1981 I think). Not the same now unfortunately (in some ways).

Will you be joining us this year?

Should i book my hotel downtown? Does it really matter if i stay there or by the airport. I'm hoping to bring the pantera but am somewhat concerned with traffic diwntown on saturday and the parking situation. Any thoughts?

We sat in Stand 11 last year too. Great seats, check this out:

As you can see from cool video from sjdennis, the further to the right you sit the better the view. High and to the right will let you see the cars come down the long straight then turn right in front of the start finish line and then down to all the action right here in front of you.

It doesn't matter where you stay. Most downtown hotels have safe indoor parking. If you stay downtown taking the metro to the track is easiest.

You might try Airbnb. You can probably find a place with your own parking for the Pantera and I strongly suggest using Montreal's fine transit to get to the track and around the party venues downtown.

I've been looking for seats there only for sunday but haven't found them yet. Only a three day pass. Any ideas? Maybe the track directly?

You could go onto the main track website and buy individually.

Or, try a scalper at the track.

Let me know if you have trouble with secure parking. I have an option for you.

Just a few days away...

We will be karting both Thur and Fri in the early evening if anyone is interested.

We also have dinner reservations in the Old Port Friday night at Mimi La Nuit.

LSJ

Where are you karting?

Wont be up there until saturday.

We will be at Kart o Mania across from the Orange Julep.

Thurs-4-5pm

Fri- 5pm

We're also doing a dinner on Sunday night in the Old Port if anyone is interested.

Best weekend ever...thank you Montreal!
