The 2025 thread looks like it is originally from 2024. So I started a new thread to see if anyone is going to Long Beach in 2025?

I've got place reserved for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I'll address the issue of tickets in the next couple of weeks.

I had tickets, but just got around to booking flights/hotels when I remembered I posted here. Wife and I will be at the track on Sat. and Sun. Have seats in the Turn 1 grandstands and access to the Bubba Gump viewing area.

I loved watching practice from Bubba Gump. Not too crowded usually. Very picturesque

Have fun

After hemming and hawing for the last 3 months, I decided I would go for parts of it. Therefore was tickled to see this mentioned in a recent online article from Racer: .....in a specially adapted Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R on Tuesday, Robert Wickens reflected on his first experiences as the countdown to his much-anticipatedIMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship return with DXDT Racing

HardDriver, I usually walk down to Turn 1 at least once. I'll see if I can find you and the missus.

I got my tickets today. Coming in on Friday after tying this with San Diego vacation. Will be at the track on Sat and Sun. Have to admit that after spending all the money to do a whole cross country vaca, the ticket prices were not my concern over enjoyment. I actually have seats on both Grandstand 29 by start finish and Grandstand 40 at turn 1. Also, will be at both Bubba Gump's and the C300 clubs. I'll be walking around myself some. Staying at the Fairmont Breakers hotel right by the track.

I'll try to think of something unique to wear and post it. That way if you see me, you can yell "Hard Driver" and I will respond. My wife will be surprised.

And if anyone is around that weekend and want to get a drink, the wife and I are just hanging, eating and watching racing for the weekend.

Ya got me thinking about what to wear. Thursday for Scottie at the Walk of Fame induction, something that will make me look like a relatively normal fan, if there is such a thing. Friday maybe my Surfers Paradise tee shirt that Mario Dominguez signed. Saturday I can look a bit weird so maybe my bright red Easter Island tee shirt featuring the Moai. That's our best chance of finding each other. Race day I'll most likely be sitting on the finish line side of Grandstand 30. I had thought of Club 300 but I didn't bite. (Couldn't resist that.) I don't eat that much and hate to miss a chance to get my King Taco.
