Default Indycar@ Mid Ohio 2024 (THE OTHER THREAD)

Starting this because Pete (just like every year) will lose his sh*t if we blow up the official thread . Not only does Mocky have the "privilege" of hearing about it on the s2ki site, but also at work.

***We're going BACK to the Hilton***
Due to last year's car break in situation in the Cambria Parking lots (luckily none of the S2000's were hit, but still...) we are going back to the Hilton. I spoke with the Hilton manager yesterday and she told me they've hired security to patrol the lots and they've seen *drastically* less break-ins this season. But, its Polaris, and the summer is upon us, so there's that.

Hotel Information:

Hilton Columbus/Polaris
8700 Lyra Drive, Columbus, OH 43240, USA

Friday Dinner:
Location: Firebirds Wood Fired Grill
8760 Sancus Blvd, Columbus, OH 43240
Time: 845pm

Attendees:

Saturday Dinner:
Location: Marcela's Italian Kitchen - Polaris
1319 Polaris Pkwy, Columbus, OH 43240
Time: 7:30PM
**Reservation is for 24 people and they will charge us if a *sizable* portion don't show up, so if you're on the list, please be sure to show up. If you can't make the dinner, please let me know by the morning of Saturday, July 6 so I can update the list for the restaurant.

Reply below if you're a) going to be staying at Polaris and b) if you'd like to join for dinner on Friday and/or Saturday. I will work on figuring out a place where once I have a general idea of numbers. Per the usual, I will bring an assortment of whiskey and rum for everyone to try if you're into that sort of thing. Hope to see everyone there this year!

In for Hilton Saturday night only.

My buddy and I were planning to do dinner at Torchy's Tacos Saturday which is within walking distance off of Gemini Place.

I'm in for both nights. I put a couple of feelers out there at a couple of places to see if they take larger groups.

I'll be there but might be a late. What's the drive time from Mid Ohio to Columbus on Motocompacto.

Peacock shows their race day coverage starts at 1:30, so i assume it will be a 2pm race. Which means we need to be ready at, or to go to, false grid at noon. More or less.

I left a message at Kitchen Social but have not heard back if they can take our size group. Olentangy River Brewing Co has the space but they only use food trucks and it's too far away to have any scheduled.
