I'm in, and the Marlboro girls will be there.

And if that's right, then there is some heavy elevation. That section up on JFK Blvd in Cliffside Park is steep.
Also, Son Cubano is a rippin' club hang.

200ft of elevation change wouldn't hurt either. I'm really stoked about this! It's only 15 minutes from my apartment and over the bridge. I'm ready to do a "hot" recon lap in my station wagon once it's announced. Already drove Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in that car, so it has the experience.

so we can stay in Midtown and catch the ferry over - flying all the kit through Newark - what's not to like - any dates (and don't forget to weld the manhole covers)?

R+C
PS Supercup anybody?

Click on this: http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Av...0.324,74.991,0

Wait for the map to load, then hit the "3D" button on the left.

Looks like Bernie just confirmed it:

Can't imagine Austin F1 developers are very happy at the moment...

Cool!! Thanks

What do you think the view will be from the water? It may be reason to consider buying another boat

Your friend owns the ferry terminal? May I direct my complaints for late ferries, flooded parking lots and the constant rising costs of monthly passes to him?

This race is going to be rough on my commute, but would be totally awesome having an F1 race so close by.

Hmmm, my car is currently parked in that parking lot near the green balloon. Looks like the view will be awesome from the Galaxy Towers - anyone have any friends that live there willing to rent out their condo for the GP weekend?
