BTW, MotoGP will be there in 2013 as well. Maybe those tickets will be more reasonable.

Just dawned on me that these ticket prices might be in response to the anticipated bottlenecks getting people in & out of the facility.

Friend told me that except for a SMALL number of paid parking spaces, ALL access will be via shuttle buses. If they only sell 20k tickets at four figure prices, then they don't have to worry about moving 80k people in & out of the track at $250/head.

Well, you do already have MSR-Cresson close by you; you can start there.

'Beater car w. good shocks & sticky tires' - you've just described Spec Miata

You're not alone - everyone else is salivating at the thought of a track day there!

I'm psyched, but I'm also dismayed that the ONLY method for getting into & out of the racetrack on the F1 race day is going to be by bus. I'm anticipating HOURS of waiting for a bus to get me into the racetrack, and HOURS more to board a bus to get back to my car.

I was really hoping to ride a two wheeler up from Houston in the morning, take in the race, and ride home again.
