the track is pretty cool, you can walk around and see some good stuff, not really a bad place to watch. i love turn 15. last year i did the VIP ...., which was ....... awesome...but this year i'm a peasant & have seats in the grand stands. honestly, if i was by myself i would of just done general admission.
austin is a ....... awesome city.
i will say though that the people i encountered last year bitched about austin & says it's not run right & that guna ran way better than how COTA runs GP.
either way, i had a good time last year & i'm now looking forward to the next few weeks.

I wouldn't worry too much about who runs what better, Austin is a great experience all around. General admission is great, walk around, get different views. On Friday the staff didn't mind what grandstand you sit anyway (at least when I went). I recommend watching race from the grass at turn 1, you'll get to see start/finish, 1,2,3, and esses in distance.
Go up the tower. Be sure to walk around during practice, see all the views. Austin, downtown is a great party, be sure to go check it out. And I hear the sushi is mouth watering delicious.

When two moons over Austin appear you will find me someplace near. I think that a proficiency from Game of Thrones.

A bit alarming for me.
During the day, I'll be at the track so I gotta find out what's open and what's not in the evening & night.
I'm planning to go to AF1 party. Other than that, I just wanna have some great BBQ and find some music.
Widespread Panic shows are sold out and I could go to Euphoria but meh...gotta find some smaller venue gig.

90% of the music is on 6th st. Unless you're going to something specific just walk down 6th until something sounds good.
Tons of BBQ. Mostly great. Just Yelp it. You can't go wrong.
Sometimes long lines.
