I don't have an event schedule yet to know the timing. Maybe they won't overlap?

Is this about 4pm or so today as in previous years? Where's the meeting point?

Will you actually get the track to walk on :-|

Unfortunately COTA informed us of a last minute change of policy as we were about to drive to T1 to begin the track walk: no longer will they allow cars and trucks in track for a track walk unless the safety team is at the track (which they were not). Apparently, recently a Lamborghini group nearly had someone killed when one imbecile started hot digging in a vehicle during a track walk. Morons.

COTA neglected to mention this to us in advance

Now, only golf carts and bikes are allowed. Accordingly, we will offer to try this again today at 5 with golf carts, if enough people want it.

COTA's response is understandable from the safety/liability perspective.

But to the people responsible for messing this up for everyone else...

I mean, really? Yes, really... it never fails...
