- This is a vlog of my trip to my first ever live Formula 1 race....the American Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. It was incredible to be there in the crowd watching the race live. This was a dream trip for me.
Whoooooooo Buddy)))))
Shug
I'm just here for the childlike joy in Shug. Car racing isn't my jam, but any Shug video is a good video.
You are sweet to say and do that.
I'm happy for you Shug that you got to make a dream come true!
It was worth doing and being in that crowd. Normally I abhor big crowds but these were my people~
Hickery here . Hadn't watched this video yet but I started getting text & Instagram messages with concerns of Positive Covid test I received a day before I was going down to Charlotte and fly to Texas with Turk. It was a quick test,known for flaws but I had my 2 best friends and a lot of others to keeps safe. Got another test later,was negative,had no real symptoms except my body is 63 years young! Thanks for any concerns, see yall at Yates !! We are Yates !!!!!! Hickery aka the mk
Yeah hey malley mallet tiff taff tay~~
Glad to hear that Mr Hickery:) all hail The maple king 🤴
Glad to hear your are fine, Maple King!
What weekend in November is the Yates hang?
Glad you are doing ok, Hickery!
@@Starscreamlive This coming weekend.
Shug... you looked like a kid in a Candy store. So happy you got out to a live race...way to Keep the Adventures Alive!!!
This was even better than Coffee Crisps~~!!!
So happy you got to see the race in person. Sounds thrilling to be planning future trips. Think about Road America next year. It's a beautiful track with lots of good places to get up close to the action. I drove formula fords there many a long year ago.
Need to go someday....pretty close to home.
THANK YOU for sharing that video! I was thinking of you during the race on Sunday, hoping you were there. So sorry to hear Hickory couldn't make it. I hope he recovers quickly and you see each other soon. Between your enthusiasm and Netflix, I count myself a Formula 1 fan! Cheers!
He is on the up and up. Even commented on here somewhere.
I'm more of a NASCAR guy, but the fact that Shug enjoys any motorsports at all brings me joy, and seeing him get to enjoy this is awesome.
Grew up going to Charlotte Motor Speedway from time to time. Coo Coo Marlin was the guy I pulled for. Liked his name. I'll be at the Grand Prix again this October. Pumped!
Thats great you were able to attend the GP! I didn't realize you were a F1 fan. I attended the F1 races at Indy until they stopped using that venue. Have been going to the Indy 500 the last ten years, well at least up until the Covid threw a wrench in that, but am going back in 2022. You would enjoy the Indy 500 I think.
Hope to attend someday. Whoooooo Buddy))))
I'm from the west coast of Canada and this is the first time I've watched your channel and I'm glad I did. I'm 74 and saw the first F1 race held in Canada, the 1967 Canadian GP At Mosport. Jim Clark was on pole in his Lotus; Jack Brabham won. It was a dream come true. I had to wait a long time to see my second race, 2014 at Montreal. Daniel Riccardo won for Red Bull; Nico Rosberg on Pole for Mercedes. Imagine that, a lifelong F1 Fan and I've only been to two races. Thanks for posting this. What surprises me is how excited and knowledgable American fans are about F1. I thought they didn't care. Now I want to make the trip south and be at COTA next year. Maybe I'll see you there.
Love that Jack Brabham! Builder as well. I put my deposit down on next years race already~
Back in the late 80's I think, there was no American F1 race, but there was on in Montreal. So we drove up there from TN. It was a great time. The pneumatic-valved petrol engines were a joy to hear in person. Thanks for the flashback.
Oh yes....that sound. I watch a lot of archive races. Bet the Canadian Race will be packed this coming year as it has beed cancelled in 2020 and 2021~~
Love it. When I was in high school my friend and I used to go to Road America for the vintage races. Our first time there we were sitting at the top of the hill looking over the hurry downs section. From that spot the trees blocked the view of the long straight into turn 5(?) but you could hear it. The sprint we were watching from that spot was an open wheel class from around the late 70's or so and later. Most cars were of the earlier era. The pace lap started and all the cars went by. Then the announcer on the PA said one more entry was starting from pit lane and a moment later we could hear behind the trees this high pitched EEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeee SCREAM of an engine. My friend and I just turned and stared at each other. The only thing we saw in the pits that could make a sound like that was a 90's (relatively current era at the time) Ferrari F1 car we thought was just on display. It was in first place by the end of the first lap and an experience I'll never forget. Those cars are on another level and you have to experience it to truly understand it.
Those old engines did whine....nothing like that sound~~!
Glad you got to see the race in person. I watched my man Max win at home on TV. I did see one F1 race live many years ago at Watkins Glen with Jimmy Clark. Nothing like seeing them live. I actually took my VW beetle out on the course a few weeks after the race. Nobody there but me and and the Jag I was getting in the way of. LOL. Take it easy.
You got to see Jim Clark.....too cool!
Max's win had me on my head with excitement!
I'll bet. He had a huge contigent of fans there for sure. What a drive he drove. Super good!
I'm so happy to see you having an amazing time.. thanks for all that you do for us and fans of you !!
Been a long time I've had that kind of thrill. Appreciate you watching my fun.
The good ol "my covid test was positive" excuse. I can't wait to use that on a future family outing.
Haaaaaaa
You did it Shug! All that planning and preparation, long drive, hotels and spending time with friends. There is NOTHING like be AT the track to see it live. Thank you for the encouragement to get out and do things and see events live. Sad that Hickory got sick and couldn't join you guys. Thanks for what you do.
Hickery is on the up and up. Even commented on here somewhere. Such a time there!
Glad you got to make it out. My brother and I were camped out at turn 11 as well. Just a little bit deeper into the corner so we could see the monitor. Great spot to watch!
Spencer! Aerial clued me in this was you. So no Julia? We were so close to each other. Was this your first F1 race? Aerial told me you were very into it. Wish we both had known that 4th of July~~!
@@shugemery Yes, this was our first race! My brother and I have been watching since we were little, but this was the first chance we had to go see a gp in person. And no, no Julia. She couldn't be convinced to go
@@spencerw3994 Got my deposit in for next year.....Grandstand or bleachers! Can't wait.
So fantastic Shug!!! I've been to several F1 in Indy and we always had an unbelievable time. Thanks for sharing your trip, we appreciate it so much !!!
Fun events for sure. I got my tix for the Grand Prix in Austin in October. Turn 12 Grandstand!!!!
Hell of a good time Shug. It is great to be in a spot and be able to enjoy your hard work, friends, and time. Life is a journey enjoy! Tell the Maple King to get to doing better.
Hickery is on the up and up. Even commented on here somewhere.
Went to COTA over the weekend to my first F1 race with my brother-in-law. We were in some of the same areas and might have walked past you. It was a great time and so glad I went.
I had sweat in my eyes. Man it was hot when that sun was baring down!
Terrific! This just came into my feed. I'm American and have a few years on you and am a lifelong F1 fan. How could I not enjoy this video. I live in New Hampshire and my "home" race is Montreal. Been to quite a few beginning in the late seventies. As you know the Canadian GP has been cancelled twice. It was so great to see you walk through the gate and catch Lando and Daniel in the pits. And man were you rewarded, That was a worthy race under any circumstance. So glad you had fun and thanks for sharing the experience.
Lucky getting to see Lando and Daniel by pure luck. I was giddy~~
"And now for something completely different" - Monty Python.
I have an idea of what I was like when I went to my first 500.
TOTALLY COOL!!!!!
Oh Yes and for
Sure!!!!
Wonderful..... thanks for taking us along!
I was there! We were in the main grandstand three rows up from P4 and the Alpha Romeo and Haas paddocks). My first f1 race. When I saw you at turn 1, i was hoping you had video of Riccardo's donuts in the dale earnhardt car. Thoroughly enjoyable weekend at the track, and in Austin.
I so want to sit there!!! Did you feel it was worth it? Ricardo did spins down at turn 11 too but I missed filming it.
Weird to see Shug so excited about something that isn't hammock camping or control line plane flying but I sure love to see it! :D
I need new things to make me appreciate the old things~
Good to see you enjoying yourself so much Shug. Everyone ought to chase their passion.
For sure. Everyone oughtta~~~
Awesome time @ COTA! Speedy recovery to Hickory. I’ve been up to Montreal twice, hard circuit to walk around and get a good view. COTA is such a great circuit for both drivers and fans! Woo Buddy! Team Papaya!
Thinking about going but I'll bet Canadians will double down on that race since it has been 2 years cancelled! We'll see.....
We LOVE ANY content you put up!!! WHOOOO BUDDY!!!
Thankee Joe.
Many of us enjoy that solitude and quiet of the forest but whoooooo buddy the energy of a crowd like that is also exhilerating! Could feel the energy in your video. Go team McLaren and Ricciardo who's a Buffalo Bills fan!
It is the Yin to that Yang. Normally abhor crowds but this crowd were my people!!! But woods are for quiet and solo or just a couple of friends.
Glad you all had a good time. Speedy and complete recovery to the Maple King. I did the Angleworm trail with a buddy. Really opens up the possibilities of the Boundary Waters for other than canoeing. What a great trail, not at all what I expected.
Hickery is on the up and up. Even commented on here somewhere.
Good walking up there but canoes are drawing me now.
My buddy is a canoer , but he was looking really hard at the Keckekabic trail guide at the out fitters in Ely. I’m just glad we have the Boundary Waters to enjoy.
Found Formula 1 via Drive to Survive on Netflix during lockdown and have been a fringe fan ever since. Your excitement on it is contagious and thanks for sharing it. 👍
Many at the race said that show got them in. I've watched them all a couple times. A happy spot for me.
Congratulations on your adventure and thank you for sharing I’m a big fan of formula 1 racing and the history thank you again for sharing once again cheers
I too love watching F1 videos from the 1970s and later. Pit crews in shorts and shirtless!!!!
Great video Shug, I was fortunate enough to be involved in Indy Car and NHRA drag racing in my career. You are 100% right, the televised experience while different and having its advantages, are no match for the in person sights and sounds!
It will feel dull watching Mexican GP from couch in the upcoming week...for sure.
WOOO BUD-DAY! WHATTA RACE! glued to the TV watching it . . . I'm sorry for hating those who were there. 😝
I understand your hate....haaaa. I usually feel that way on Sundays watching. Still buzzing and wired from it.
Thank you so much for putting this video together! I only watched a little bit of the race Sunday but the first thing I thought of was you possibly being there because of your live for Formula1. Yoh definitely didn't disappoint. I'm so happy that you got to go! Whoo buddy!!!
Glad you enjoyed my take on it. What a time!
SHUG!!! Glad you got to make a dream come true!! Keep us posted on the maple king! ALL HAIL THE MAPLE KING!! GET WELL SOON HICKORY!!!
He is on the up and up. Even commented on here somewhere.
@@shugemery glad to hear it!!
Cool trip Shug - happy you got to experience it! Hope the Maple King has a quick recovery!
Thankee. Still buzzing. Hickery is on the up and up. Even commented on here somewhere.
I hear ya Shug, went to the Daytona 500 a few years back. Can't even describe how fast those cars were and the sound was incredible.
Ya' gotta be there to hear there.
The 2021 USGP was my first race in-person as well. Also woke up around 4:30 on Sunday morning to get my seat at Turn 1 and me and my high school buddies didn't move for 9 HOURS! Thank you for sharing your experience! My experiences that weekend were very similar to yours!
Dedication the the seat! We watched FP1 from there Friday. Will be in Turn 12 Grandstand this year. So looking forward. You going again?
So incredibly fast! Thanks for sharing.
Oh...more-so than I thought they may be~
100% here for the hammocking/backpacking, but you're just so dang excited I couldn't not watch the video. Plus, start a Shug's cooking playlist? Well enjoy that content too.
Oh I've had that playlist for a while......czcams.com/play/PL27A412931121C97E.html
Aw man, I'm sorry to hear about hickory. I hope he recovers quickly! Oh, and I just visited your old stopping grounds. Went to Charlotte, and went to Carowinds. Thought about going over to Linville Gorge after seeing your videos from there, but didn't have time :(
Hickery is on the up and up. Even commented on here somewhere. I used to bring my dates to Carowinds because I love the rides!
Pretty cool Shug. Will definitely be on my bucket list to go and watch. CHEERS!
You oughta someday. I'm still tingling!
HOT DANG SHUGROW! That was amazing! Sorry to hear about Hickery but so wonderful to see how excited you were just being in the middle of it all!!!!
AND a preview of the weekend to come!!!!!! Look forward to that Halloween display video! So wind down from all the excitement pal and rest up the “hants , boogers and YES candy” to come!!!
Hickery is on the up and up. Even commented on here somewhere. He ain't a ghost yet!
Frankenstien this year. Always wanted to be green. Hope your peachy.
Shug, hello from the land of bbq, sweet tea & ACC basketball! I married a West Meck grad class of 1979. Looked like a great day for racing! 🇺🇸🏎
and livermush, cornbread, country ham and 'naner pudding!!!! Bet that gal can country cook~~
I was lucky enough to see all the F1 races back when they were at Indianapolis during the Schumacher era. Lots of fun! Glad you got to experience it.
Consider youself blessed to see those races!!!!!
@@shugemery they were a sight to see! Schumacher won most of them, of course. I'll also never forget the vendor who sold schnitzel sandwiches... and the schnitzel was pounded so big and flat that it was the size of your head.
@@markgrudzinski914 Good eatin'....
I was there last year too! I think I want to sit at the esses this year. I was at turn 1 last year. It was cool to watch the start, but I want to see the cars rip going 150+ through those s curves. I’m leaving on Thursday too, so maybe I’ll see if they have the track open. I’m in Dallas so my hotel is about 2 and a half away.
Turn 12 grandstands for me this year. Excited. We will see if Thursday works the same this year. Hope so. Leaving to drive down Tuesday
Shug.. Your travels are the best. You brighten the day and bring smiles wherever you go. Thankyou my friend!
Glad you like them! Whoooooo Buddy))))
We share so many things in common Shug! Very many similar interests and likes - Hammocks, Backpacking, Cars, F1, James Hoffman and coffee! Great stuff, so happy you got the opportunity to make this happen, too bad Hickory couldn't make it, damn the COVID!
BTW, I'm in OKC, next time you're in the area hit me up, even if it's just for a good cup of coffee on the way through!
Righto we do~~! Amazing time. Hickery is on the up and up. About over his quarantine.
I will for sure......maybe next year if I can get tix again!
So pumped for you getting to do this!! I did a similar trip solo to the USGP a few years ago. I tent camped at a nearby state park, got there before the gates opened each day like y’all did. Hammock camping, F1 and now I heard you name dropped James Hoffman, if we ever meet, we will not run out of things to talk about!
Fun getting there before the crowds get there. So quiet and then it just magically fills in around you!
I'm not into F1.. but man it was fun watching you talk about something you're passionate about! Take care Shug.
Dream trip!
So awesome, Shug! Whoooooooo buddy!
Awesome times 20!
It is an adventure for sure. Even with all that driving, it's a dream of a life time. So sorry your dear life long friend had to miss it. You're so fun to watch no matter what kind of video you make. It's always a delight!
Thank you Shug for your experiences!
It was very worth the drive. My first real long trip since the World Turned! Hickery is on the up and up. Even commented on here somewhere. He lives.
I got really, really hacked last year. I lost basically every Google thing I had, including CZcams. I had to start fresh. New accounts for everything. I've been slowly remembering what I liked to watch, and man, I can't tell you how much I missed your channel. I'm back. Old face anew. Thank god you still make videos. I really love your stuff! Excuse me. I've got some catching up to do.
Thankee for the good and fine words Ryan.
I went from Prost to Mansell to Schumacher. Many others of that era as well. Actually got to meet a few. Happy for you buddy. My routines were similar when I was a fanatic.
Mansell gives me moustache envy!!!!!
That was an intense race. My heart was pumping hard in the final stages. Glad you got to experience it. The first lap fight between the McLarens and the Ferraris must have been incredibly special for you.
I'm studying Vehicle Dynamics and just the thought of seeing such majestic cars in person gives me goosebumps.
I got to see that battle on the on F1TV back at the hotel. Could not see that battle from turn 11. But they were close everytime they came thru. Those cars are marvels.
your stoke has me stoked!!
I'm bad bad bad about stopping to smell the roses. Thankfully I've got people to remind me life is short.
Good talk there at the end.
Excited for Halloween right around the corner next. BOOO!
I smelled and sniffed!
Thanks for bringing us along Shug👍,saw things I never did over here,that was a monster commute.It was the largest crowd so far this year more than Silverstone,F1 has landed USA great to see.Been to a few over the years myself and as you say you can’t see everything going on but the atmosphere makes up,could see you really enjoyed it.Mexico here we come..bring it on👌
Yessir, the popularity has risen here. Folks were so excited to be there. My dream is to attend the British Grand Prix someday. High tea and Lord Montague's car museum as well.
@@shugemery I’m sure you will ,maybe check out the Goodwood revival,everyone dresses I’m old timey clothes and historical racecars through the ages race time trials.🏎
@@davidberrecloth4841 I've heard so many good things about Goodwood. T'anks. 🏁
Love F1 racing! I was lucky enough to work behind the scenes doing photography for Indy racing at COTA... I had access to the garages, cars, pits, and shot from the inside of turn one! But F1 is a completely different story, I could only dream of getting that kind of access!
INDY is very user friendly.....easy access. F1 is like getting backstage to the Oscars! Got my Grandstand tix at turn 12 this year.
From a veteran of F1, my first GP was in 1983, I love your enthusiasm and love of the sport. Next year see's great changes to the cars and great opportunities for all teams and drivers.
If you have a way to do so, come to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, you will be able to join 100,000 others camping out for the weekend, and experience the love of motorsport we have here in the UK.
I really hope to attend the British Grand Prix someday. Visit the McLaren factory in Woking. Visit stately homes and have some high tea. Visit family there as well.
Was as much fun as watching you in a canoe. Hope, your friend Hickory is fine.
This I just got to be a spectator with all the other 140,000 spectators! Hickery is on the up and up. Even commented on here somewhere.
Even when it's not about camping, Shug is interesting with all his anecdotes and adventures. Thankee Shug and really happy for you to have lived your dream. I had goosebumps all around even if I'm not a formula 1 enthousiast!
Ready for next year!
I loved this video so much, mainly because you loved it so much. That was so cool.
Ready for next year!!! Will go again
Went to F1 race at Brand Hatch Circuit UK back in 1971 was excited to see Graham Hill race, unfortunately Jo Siffert crashed and died and the race was called after 15 laps. I've always wanted to watch a NACAR race at Talladega, you may have just given me the motivation to make it next year. Cheers Shug !
F1 was so dangerous in those days. I just love Graham Hill. Looked like an old movie star~~
Shug, Been watching your channel for years. Every once in a while you give us a glimpse of your personality. I had no idea you were a F1 fan. I can absolutely understand your fascination with F1. I was at my 1st F1 in downtown Detroit 1984. There is no way that a video catches how awesome F1 cars and crowds are. Thanks for sharing your excitement!
You do really need to be there!
So happy you got to take that in. Loved the vlog.
Thanks and thankee!
That’s awesome, Shug! It was my first Formula 1 Grand Prix too. We watched from Turn 15. What a race!!!
Yessir! How did you like the action for that turn?
Thinking turn 13 or 14 or 19 someday. Or main grandstand!
@@shugemery OGM it was fantastic. They came in screaming from the back straight and we could see turns 12, 13, 14, 15 from our seats and then they bolted for the long curve toward 18. LOTs of overtaking attempts…a few successful ones. The Ricardo/Sainz battle was hot on that part of the track. For the last 10 laps we could gauge Hamilton’s gain on Max because we could see which turn Hamilton was in when Max finished turn 15. Just magic stuff. Glad you made it. Not sure about those parking lots though. That was just madness.
@@Brandon-Larocque Thanks for that. That is a great area of the track from what we saw exploring Friday.
Great vLog Shug. I live just north of Dallas and I'm glad you had a good time in Texas. There are places that will train you and let you drive a formula one car for not too much money so maybe that is your next adventure? Glad to see this youtube video and look forward to your next control line video :)
I still never have driven a farm tractor! haaaaa
Been to four GPs at COTA but unfortunately missed out on going this year. Watching this video, you really captured the same excitement I have when going. Glad you had enjoyed everything, hope to catch you in the crowd one year
Four GPs....right good! Hoping to attend again but this time Grandstand or bleacher seats......
Man, you are pumped. It was a good time. got to go....thanks for the video
I'm still pumped from it. May take a while to come down.
Glad you got to go Shug! I’m more of a Super Bike and Moto GP guy but nothing, absolutely nothing, beats being there and having the filings in your teeth loosened from the exhaust notes (never forget earplugs). I was at the first Moto GP in Laguna Seca ( my first) at the Corkscrew with my camera during practice runs. I had just turned off the camera to preserve the battery when Valentino Rossi ran off the track and through the inside gravel. He rode through, at speed, on that custom GP bike like it was nothing and I missed the shots that probably would have paid for my entire trip. Exciting times at any major race track and good on ya buddy.
Moto GP is a thrill and I do know who Rossi is. Want to go to Isle of Mann someday to see that race on those roads. Crazy!
Was there any way to get any sort of a pit pass? I got one at the Laguna Seca event and it was solid gold ( wouldn’t let us anywhere near the track garages though).
@@markscott4881 That cost some big money....maybe in the future I will. We were at the other end of the track from pits for main race. That would be so amazing though to do!
Nice Shug!!
Checking in from Mecklenburg county NC
South meck/ class 1977…
Love ya man!!
Whooooooo Buddy))))))
So happy for you, Shug. Getting to go to the F1 race in person. Great vlog and as an auto sports fan and the only F1 fan that I personally know of I greatly enjoy seeing your joy. Sadly work didn’t allow me to come to Austin from SC this year but I’ve already put in a leave notice for 2022 based on the F1 schedule and cannot wait to experience it in person as well. Thank you for sharing your passion with us and I hope you’re enjoying retirement and doing whatever they heck you wanna do! Greetings from the shores of the mighty Enoree River of upper Laurens/southern Spartanburg County SC. Be well sir!
Spent some good times in that Enoree river pretending to fish noodle while my cousins there really did.
Got my deposit in for the 2022 Grand Prix. Grandstand seat! Possibly Bleacher but depends how fast they sell.
Woodruff Wolverines~~~
Loved this! Well done Shug. Hope all is well with The Maple King...
Hickery is on the up and up. Even commented on here somewhere.
Hey Shug. Nothing like your first F1 race live. The speed just doesn't come across from the TV. Its a brilliant circuit with some great views. That meal you went for looked yum. Bet you got home quicker than you did going. America is really embracing F1 now. Its a great weekend. I love F1. Have done for years. Great atmosphere with the fans. Never done the hotel thing, I usually go camping with my tent around Europe. Maybe next time take your hammock :)
Got my deposit down for next years race already!!! Got an Air B&B booked. Ed of day I want some A/C and a good shower~~~!!!
F1 gives me such joy and sounds like you too.
That's something that I would like to see as well. A few years back, we went to the Cheyenne Rodeo. It's just one of those things that you should experience at least once.
So fun to attend these once...maybe twice in a lifetime events.
Hammocks, camping, coffee, racing... I am growing up to be a Shug :) Glad to see how much fun you had. #teamCheco
All the fun stuff. Live to live~~
I hope our paths cross sometime so we can compare notes. I live in Charlotte BTW.
@@freerangetots9955 I lived on the West Side in Coulwood. Sister still lives there.
Next time you are in town we can share a plate of good BBQ. Happy trails.
what a great video. Thanks for making it. Im working on planning a trip myself. Its easy, just gotta throe some $ at it. Like everything else I guess. Once again I appreciate you making this and showing a true fan experience. Wooo buddy
So worth it. Austin is sold out already. I hope to go to Silverstone or Monza someday. Imola looks great as well.
Awesome Brother. Welcome to the Club. Gotta see Friday pratice..
Taking in every moment~~
100% enjoyed that Shug. Thanks for sharing your trip with us, just great!
Glad to hear that....Whoooooo Buddy))))
Brilliant, am riding over to Spa next season from Wales…you’ve inspired me 🙏🏴😁
Good on ye!
Shug glad to see you ate at Southside ... that place is AWESOME. If you are ever over in Elgin or Bastrop get the dinosaur rib from Southside
Those ribs were some of the best I've had. Austin was jamming. But I was there for race race race!
Thanks for this! I just found your channel. I'm from your original neck of the woods but a county north in Iredell. I'm a huge F1 fan and wish I could do a trip like this. VERY COOL!!!
Livermush for all!
Used to spend a week every year at the Grand Prix de Monaco, so good video
That is my dream race for the history and pomp. Was in Monaco once on a cruise but not at Grand Prix time.
Whooo buddy! Great to see you so excited and having a good time. I was at the Belgian GP in 2013 & 2014 when Danny Ric won. F1 live is such an experience.
It truly is isn't it. Must have been fantastic!
So jealous. That's where I have to go one day.
God Bless Hickory for a fast and speedy recovery. I just spent 3 weeks in the hospital with my second bout with Covid....it is a nasty illness
He seems recovered. He was being cautious.
The anticipation of doing something you love is always part of the fun. You definitely get so much more from a live race, the sounds, smells and total excitement of everyone around you! Very cool video, seriously great to see you so excited!!
A-N-T-I-C-I-P-A-T-I-O-N...........
Super awesome to be able to do something like this on your list! Congrats!
Ready for next year!
What a great trip Thanks for sharing Buddy!
Ready for next year.....🏁
@@shugemery Said in my best Karl Childers voice - uummm yessir I hope the hicks' boy 'll make it there uummhuh!
@@jasonthompson4136 Reckon he is well now. Time will tell.....
Happy you got to see a F1 race, it's a wonderful experience. I've been a McLaren fan since seeing them and James Hunt at Brands Hatch in 1976. Living in the UK, I've been lucky to see a fair few. That first day anticipation at the track never leaves you. Hope you get to see a few more Grand Prix. 👍
Someday I'll go to the British Grand Prix and would love to see the McLaren HQ in Woking!!! And high tea of course. Go Team Hesketh~~!!!
Well you Shug are pure tonic, after a stressful day at work you yet again have brought bloody big smile to my face in.. Yorkshire btw, top geezer you mate you're buzz for life is infectious X10, hats off to ya pal 🤛😉
I love that! A tonic~~
Someday I'd love to fly over for the Silverstone race. And go to McLaren Complex.
Super glad you went to a Formula one race Shug. Hopefully they re-pave for next season. Moto GP was sketchy as all get out!
So I heard!
Hey! I follow you for your camping content and just saw this video. Don't know if you remember, but wife and I ran into you at the hotel on Thursday night. Can't believe I didn't recognize you!
We were at the race and per your recommendation went to the track Thursday night and had a blast! Don't know if you remember - but it's great to see you and to know you had a good time!
I do! Colin and Kim. What a time. We have out ticket deposit down for next year already and hoping for Grandstand. Glad you went out there.
awesome shuggy! glad you had a good time, awesome vid
Been a long time I've had that kind of thrill...
Spirit of 76*…whoooooBuddy!!!Get well soon Hickory!!🍁🤴🏻
Oh yes! I sooo miss the 1970s. Full hair and youth and blissfully unaware.
Glad you got to go Shug, very cool.
Still buzzing~~~!
Thanks for sharing this adventure. Like the blog…and the excitement!
Still buzzing from the extravaganza.
I was there!!! What a fantastic weekend! We sat on the S-turns for qualifying, the Turn 11 (on the 10 side) for race day. Oh crap! I'm in your vid! Last lap, black shirt, papaya McLaren hat, black shirt, gesticulating top left. No kidding! Does that make me Shug-famous? Haha Bada$$.
Yessir! Just watched Quali from Mexico..from couch. Still buzzing from Austin. Got my deposit down for next year already....Grandstand!

This is better than the Sky coverage! Great capture of DannyRic in the DE Sr. #3 Wrangler NASCAR! Congrats on your trip.
I missed filming him doing donuts at our turn 11. You could see his smile as he passed. Have you watched this? Some great footage of him driving the NASCAR....czcams.com/video/OKPrQd_ujIM/video.html
