BigE agreed to fly Russ and I out to Pebble Beach this year first class with back stage access and a ride in his Veyron.
I demand to be included in this deal

It would mean parting with my Turbo though. That may be tough for me.
I'd say part with the 360.

No. I want a mid-engine and a front engine Ferrari. That has always been my dream. I will likely move to an F430 in a year or so from the 360.

They'll just have to keep you and Hamilton at opposite ends of town.

Oh, funny joke. Next thing you'll say you want a McLaren F1.

Road America be an awesome track for an F1 race but the paddock and grandstand areas are nowhere near up to par with either of the tracks mentioned earlier by MiniD. Plus, I doubt anyone would really want to go to WI for a big F1 race.

The 599 driving position id one of the best I've experienced

Seriously, this is TS. Time to open a thread entitled Dana's in the market for a 599

I think there should two races in America, a road course and a track course.

Something like streets of St Pete, tried and true.

And I don't know about the track course. Is Laguna Seca big enough for F1?
