Indy MotoGP, Sept 2008

[grubbywarrior]

Howdy fellerz. Greetings from Hoosier Hooligans. As Indiana's first and only desmo owners club, we are putting forth effort with Indianapolis Motor Speedway to possibly do some volunteer work at the track for some of the event. In conjunction with Ducs Unlimited and Desmo Ohio, we are trying to put something together like a gear check station and working in Ducati's hospitality tent. If any are interested in attending you can either contact myself at grubby@hoosierhooligans.org (southern indiana recruiter), grifo@hoosierhooligans.org (president) or BryanS@hoosierhooligans.org (vice president and webmaster).
Hope to see some of you there. [thumbsup]

Hi Troy,
Nice to hear from you. We are making good progress - DRILL has contacted the track and arranged for 500 seats to be set aside. I have since spoken to the track as well and they are willing to organize a purchase plan that allows the tickets to be bought in small batches directly from the track. They are meeting with Ducati in the near future and will coordinate the location with them, understanding we want premium viewing. (They might set up a special grandstand, it's all still being figured out). The Indy dealer is on board as well and will be speaking to a hotel that offered special room rates with the hope we will have a DOC hotel. I am in California now at the dealer meeting but once I am back and DNA has done the track site inspection we should be able to proceed from there with whatever plan develops. Give me a couple of weeks and I'll have more details of what we will be doing.
Regards,
Vicki

We stayed at the Staybridge Suites in Fishers for the USGP F1 races (2000-2007). If you book way in advance, the rates are really good and the distance to the track is <25 mins. Just don't let them know you're in town for the race b/c all of the hotels tend to jack the prices up on race weekend.

Plan on going to the MotoGP next year but still haven't heard back from IMS about my tickets. Of course, if DNA comes up with something, I may just have to call IMS and cancel those tix. [laugh]
