  • Calling all F1 WordPressers

    Any WordPress users at the US Formula One Grand Prix this weekend? If so, I thought it would be neat to meet up and watch either the morning practice session or qualifying tomorrow (Saturday). For the morning practice at 10AM I was thinking about finding a seat in the grandstand at turn 10. For qualifying at 1PM, I think across from the Ferrari pits in the upper section is the place to be. Last year there was some exciting action at the beginning of qualifying. Here is a link to the track map. If you are at the race and are interested in meeting up, please leave a comment and we can rendezvous just before the sessions start. And yes, the picture below is me typing this post at the circuit… I wouldn’t have it any other way.
