Who's ready for a full weekend in the Steel City? Or a track just a little bit on the outskirts... first visit for F2000 (and F1600) coming up in less than a week. Who's ready?
Crap-left Western PA/NE Ohio 1 week too early. Drove right by the track on the way home. I was pretty much 20-40 min away from the track all of last week driving back and forth across the Ohio/PA border. I should have planned a little better as I would have loved to spectate.
On that note it is a full spectator weekend, so if anyone here wants to get in, drop me an email or PM and we can get you on the FRP guest list. :thumbsup:
If anybody needs restaurant recommendations I can help. I only lived there for a solid two years...

Come to the Cranberry exit 15 min away, got on route 228 you will find every kind
of food you could want, from Olive Garden to 2 steak houses.
same with hotels, there must be 25 of them also
It's true that Cranberry is not too far away and has many options for food and hotel. I imagine that's where most will be staying. It's a suburban cesspool though. There are a few good local joints, but not many.
Beyond the Italian place at the exit?
Ditto on Cranberry. I was sent by my employer to work for about a year at a satellite office many years ago. It has only grown since then.
If you are staying closer to New Castle, PA there is some chain places like Ruby Tuesday on Rt 224 just off route 60. Or if you venture to New Castle itself, check out the Crane Room with their craft beers. I was there about a month ago, the food and atmosphere was great. I did not get to sample any of the beer.
One of my personal favorites is D&G Pizza and is in nearby Beaverfalls. It's take out only and the pizza is pretty unique, in my experience anyways, in that you get pick your toppings as the pizza comes out of the oven. They just throw those toppings then on the steaming hot pie and hand it over. The pizza has a thick but airy crust. It's dirt cheap too. There's always a decent crowd in there, so I can't be the only one who likes it.
Congrats to Beasley for his win! :checkered:
Both days! Still some life left in the Van Diemen ;)Quote:
