New primary sponsor. We'll be there all three days in an Acura RDX . I've been to all 44 LBGPs, this will be #45. All three days of all except the three or four times it's rained on Friday or Saturday (never on Sunday). We have the best seats in the house: top row Grandstand 29, just past the Acura bridge, at the start finish line, across from the pits, where they're hauling ass down Shoreline. Standing on the fence in front of our stands, they're going so fast it's like your eyes are playing tricks on your brain. We can see from the hairpin to Turn 1 and downtown Long Beach. Standing on our seats, we can see the Port of Long Beach, the Queen Mary, the Palos Verdes peninsula, the Marina, and Long Beach beaches. We have Marina parking right by the Blue entrance to our seats. Tailgating between events and during events we don't care about with a bunch of our friends.

Sunday race: NBC Sports Network - 4:00 PM EDT. Look for me. I'll be on the top row, on the aisle, middle section, in Grandstand 29, just past the Acura Bridge. I'll be wearing a straw Stetson and probably a red USC shirt.

I don't know if this post is appropriate or not, and if not, moderators please delete.


Any IndyCar fans our there willing to go halvesies (split the cost), of the NBC Sports IndyCar Pass? Or...I'll "rent" your's for the weekend (you change your password for the weekend so I can access, then you change it back)

I'm going to the IndyCar race in Long Beach this weekend and I'd like to stream it live at the race so I know what's going on. Going to races is great, but it's hard to follow sometimes...

Anyone interested just PM me.

Thanks

It was a good race for me to watch. I am not sure of the others. 200th team victory for the Andretti team too. Four of the top 5 were Honda, but Newgarden drove a good race too.

Raptor - hope you had fun. Tell us all about it once you're back home.
