Anyone interested in taking a lap or two around the Long Beach Course?

I actually work away from downtown long beach, I meant to say that the building that I live in sits next/on top of the course.

It would be cool to do an frs meetup during race weekend.

It's a parade lap. You'll likely be at 25%.

Could it be done?

I sent the LBGP coordinators an email pitching the idea (couldn't hurt to ask right?) and will update this when they respond.

Long Beach GP Association has 1 million layers of politics and 50 years of clout with 1000 levels of sponsors...

OK I'm exaggerating but I actually tried to talk and by the time I got to the 5th level of 100 people, I realized that I need to be basically President Obama or somebody for this to happen and to be in planning discussion 4 years before the event.

You get my point.... It didn't happen.
Sorry.

HOWEVER! I will be attending the event as a spectator all day long, and I will be happy to sit/stand with you all in a designated area of the track during the Pro/Celebrity race to chat/discuss with you all. I've driven these cars and I can share thoughts as well.

Tentatively, let's make this spot, at the end of Turn 1, the first corner after the main straight (intersection), on the outside of the corner?

For the Celebrity FRS Race, its Saturday the 20th, 11:40 am, so I would say be there at that corner about 11:20am ??
