It’s finally here, friends. This week marks the 2022 US Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas and it’s one of my favorite weekends of the year. I know yes than more than enough in the great city of Austin, TX to give you an entertaining weekend – but if you’re looking to hang out with some like-minded people who also love racing, then this list is for you. .
We’ve put together a list of active events for you to attend. Some are free, some are paid, but all of Guaranteed to be a great time. So clear your schedule!
Please note that there Not an official meeting of Jalopnik this year. We don’t have the budget to rent a space, and after paying for my own ride to cover the racing car, it’s definitely not mine! But with that said, I want to be everywhere at once if you want to come say hello.
