I went to the first F1 at CotA and bought a seat at turn 6 since 1) I =
knew there were delays in construction and 2) because I used to live on =
the same kind of soil, so I knew that if it was rainy, those without =
seats would be standing in a nasty kind of mud known locally as =E2=80=9Cb=
lack gumbo.=E2=80=9D It sticks to everything and ends up 3=E2=80=9D =
thick on your shoe soles. Turned out the weather was fine and turn 6 is =
not a good place from which to watch (I=E2=80=99m not sure they still =

briefly and the sound level would have been painful if I hadn=E2=80=99t =
brought ear plugs (the formula has changed since then and I don=E2=80=99t =

My favorite places to watch are turn 15 (facing upstream to back =
straight, so you can see turn 12, 13, 14, and 15 and the entry to 16), =
turn 1, either of the bridges (but guards usually shoo people away after =
