Heading to Austin, TX this next week to see the USGP F1. Is there a Cars & Coffee of some kind over the weekend? Is there a local group of 914s in the area that get together? Any other recommended "must go to" in Austin? First time there.

If this should be in "the sandbox" please move. It is not really 914 content. Sorry.

I hope you got your hotel reservations about 6 months ago, otherwise you won't find a place to sleep within 100 miles of Austin on the F1 Weekend.

We are regulars at COTA, so we know the area well. It's a bit of a drive, but go to Marble Falls and eat at the Blue Bonnet Cafe. The food is excellent, and the Pie is to die for. Don't leave without getting some.

I would also suggest checking out Salt Lick Barbecue. Really good food there.


Or if you are homesick, go to downtown Austin. It is getting to be just like LA with all the migrants from there.

But most of all, enjoy the race. F1 is an unbelievable circus.

Thanks all for the info. Yep staying outside of town. Got our rooms months ago at a reasonable rate, not the gouging one they are currently charging. Have tickets for all three days. I have heard about the city council moves recently. Same reason we stay away from downtown LA unless we HAVE to go there for a concert or meeting.
