Thumbs up 2009 LeMans Party - Sat & Sun

I've arranged to have a "Giant" screen reserved for us all day Saturday and Sunday for viewing the 2009 24 Hours of LeMans. Below is a pic of the screen. Its bloody, f***'n huge. We will have one screen reserved for the race.

What will not be shown on Speed will be streamed on a laptop.

It's going to be at Backyard Grill in Manassas, VA.

Address:

Backyard Grill
7421 Sudley Rd.
Manassas, VA 20109

They are opening the Resturant for us at 8am on Saturday and Sunday.

COME AND GO AS YOU PLEASE!

Here the Schedule:

Saturday
8:00am Resturant Opens
8:30am to Noon Speed TV Coverage
Noon to 4:30pm Internet Screaming
4:30 to 10pm Speed TV Coverage

Sunday
8:00am Resturant Opens
6:00am to 9:30am SpeedTV Coverage
9:30 Leave Resturant to get some zzzzzz's

I'm thinking of doing some driving in the middle of the day on Saturday for fun. Watch'em run, then go run ourselves. Hee-Hee

Send me an email if you plan to come:
autobahnambition@gmail.com

Or Post here that your coming.

Via LeMans!

Thanks Kevin, sounds cool.

Although Backyard grill in Manassas isn't exactly in my backyard. May be tough to get time to get out that long.

Manassas is a bit of a haul for some of you, but the resturant is First Rate for a grill. Food is great! If your planning on watching it anyways, it will be a short drive to hang with the group. (Remember: No Traffic before 8AM)

Plus, the manager is giving us a lot of attension. Its one big party for two days! After putting out a magazine I need to let off some steam. So, let's have some fun.

Its pay as you go and NO REGISTRATION FEE. Its about the fun!

Racin' and Drivin'! What could be better. (I know racing in LeMans)

Kevin -- sounds fun! Thanks for setting it up. I may be able to swing by for a while Saturday night on the way back from the Plains.

I'm up in the Chantilly direction, got a 3 day weekend starting here Saturday. Almost forgot this weekend was Le Mans! You can count me in, Saturday definitely, maybe the latter half of Sunday too.

That "huge" scree makes me miss my projector. Maybe the basement will be done by Lemans 2010.

If Manassass was closer I'd head down and say high. Maybe I can slip out this afternoon for a bit.
