COTA 16 - let it begin.

[jdhu]

Oh well, sigh. I have all of 1 pic, and it's cheesy.

A shame we weren't able to meet up, but I'm guessing you felt same, the weekend was tiring. It's exhausting to drink so much. :teeth

Fun time at the track, and um, the grandstand was just open to GA? I had a couple of grandstand and eventually brought friends in who had GA tix.

Race was OK, but still awesome weekend!

At the airport now. Had a little more fun today.
Went to Stella for lunch and have to share. It is at the Weston hotel.

Loved it.

I went Turkey Avocado and it came with home made potato chips. Love 'em.

We also had deviled eggs wih andouille sausage as an appy. Sweet. :drool

 

[budman]

Guys said salads and burger were awesome as well. Prices amazing.

Here is the egg.

Then we went to the historical Driskill hotel. Love that place.
Was the State Capital when Texas was a separate nation.

Woodford reserve on a couple cubes and chilling like a villain.

So relaxing. This place is a must see. Whole bunch of photos in my '15 thread.
I will stay here one day.

When I first started following this thread, I was thinking "This looks great. I need a race weekend vacation." I'm still thinking about that but now I'm hungry and thirsty.

Thanks for all the pics and updates budman.

 

[budman]

You bet Steve.

That is my intent. Get others to get out and live it up at a race.
It is fun to travel to different areas. Meet the folks. Find good food. Etc.

Did it alone in '11 to MX of Nations and COTA for the last few years bringing more buds every year.

My travel mates have cool rolling bags and modern packing conveniences.
Me. I carry on some 70's vintage Samsonite. Heard it fell out of a plane before I bought it for $1.

That is for real. $1.

Lots of smiles at the airport for sure.

[budman]

Cal was at the Cedar door at the barf meet.

Tyler asked for a photo OP and Cal :rolleyes and I believe if my liquored up mind remembers right Rob apologized for bugging him and then Cal said OK.

By the way... it was great to meet you guys too. Stay proud of that kid.

Any kiddo that is doing a double major, who is a motorcycle racer and was offered a track bike while in school by Dad and said "No.. I have to much homework" is on the right path!! :cool

Hope to catch ya next year as well!

Please correct my story above as necessary.:teeth

 

[rob linders]

Yes. He rolled his eyes, so we apologized, and then I guess he realized maybe we weren't bad guys after all.

Story is correct.:thumbup

L8BRAKER and Budman...here's to next year:staRang
