[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1392551, member: 27852"] I've been to COTA many times, once for Moto GP. It's one of the best motor sports facilities I've ever seen. 1. Wear walking shoes. Bring sunscreen and a hat. Bring ear plugs. 2. We bought our Moto GP tickets for the grandstand at turn 12 (end of the longest straight) thinking it would be a good passing zone. There was some passing there, but not much. However, our seats offered us a nice view of the bikes through a really cool section of the track. I'd sit there again. 3. Any ticket gets you general admission to just about anywhere there is NOT grandstands. Sit on the grass with a beverage and enjoy it. 4. You might as well get the 3 day pass. it's only a few bucks more than the Sunday ticket. 5. The reserve parking saves you a few bucks, but you really don't get to park anywhere closer. But if you ride the bike to the track, you can park VERY close. I can't remember, but I think that bike parking is either free or reduced price. 6. The restroom situation at COTA is stupid. Get ready to stand in line. 7. I don't care much for a $10 hot dog. We ate a hearty breakfast in Austin (great food and beer scene BTW) and brought some horse food to snack on during the day. 8. Even in April - it's hot and can be windy and dry in Texas. DRINK WATER or you will shit rocks for a week. 9. The moto GP bikes are neat, but the 250s are more competitive and are only a few seconds per lap slower. The BEST racing however is the Moto America 600 and 1000 cc events. Those riders were FLOGGING their bikes around. Dudes flat out FIGHTING for 10th place every single lap. Truthfully, I enjoyed M/A more than the Moto GP. 10. It's time for somebody to get competitive with Marquez. Rossi is done. Hopefully someone else will step up. [/QUOTE]
