Nothing required. Parade lap only at 60 mph. Goes by really quick.

Agreed, but then at LeMans they gave us helmets. Guess a French thing.

Consider yourself lucky, I didn't get a helmet, but I did get a speeding ticket.

Must be a French thing, I don't have any here. :facepalm: :lol

We don't have a track day scheduled. We are watching the IMSA WEC races. There will be a GT parade lap, likely with out helmets.

No standing Texas Mile event this year either? That will make travel easy, with no helmet.

Roughly, show up Thursday, pick up credentials, go to track if you want, Friday track all day, parade lap Friday evening, Saturday track all day and watch new GT kick ass, Sunday driving tour and dinner in the evening.

I'd like to flog Dr Frank's red GT on that drag strip! I love the smell of someone else's clutch & tires! LOL

Clothing should be track geared and it is HOT in Texas.

Does anybody know if we will be getting our tickets and credentials by mail, or will we be picking them up at the track or the JW Marriott?

Pickup in Austin at location TBD. I haven't received them from COTA yet. Usually there are no race tickets so it's easy, but waiting on hard cards for the hospitality.

Cocktail party at JW Marriott is on the 5th floor Lakeview Terrace on Thursday night. Depending on timing from COTA, passes may distributed by front desk at JW Marriott.

I have a couple people that have to be late cancellations. If anyone would like a spot in the hospitality, please let me know. I'm trying to obtain a refund for their tix but in the event that is not possible, it would be nice to get them to someone else.
