One weekend of sportscars is coming to Circuit of the Americas in Austin, and we’ll be there. So, by popular demand, we’ve decided to have a get-together this Friday after the track goes cold at 8 p.m. at , right north of the University of Texas campus.

Why is this the best weekend ever? Everything from the World Endurance Championship’s lone stop in the United States to Lamborghini Super Trofeo is running, that’s why. Paddocks are fairly open to walk around. You can probably even awkwardly mumble “H-h-hiiii” to Allan McNish if you’re lucky.

A ton of you said you were going (because why on earth would you be anywhere else this weekend?), so we decided to have a meet-up for this race, too.

Posse East, 2900 Duval St., Austin, Texas, 78705 — right at the corner of Duval and San Jacinto.

We’ll start around 8 p.m. on Friday. Porsche GT3 Cup runs until 7:45 p.m. and GT3 Cup at night is that we bumped it back a little from our usual race weekend get-together time. Plus, one of the locals, Jeff Mosing, might be able to clinch a championship this weekend in that series. Go watch GT3 Cup, and then come have drinks and nachos with us.

Jalopnik’s Austin staff of Patrick George and Stef Schrader will be there for sure, as will several friends of Jalopnik who are in town, plus YOU! There’s a good chance that the will make an appearance, too.

Ah, parking. The eternal Austin challenge. There’s street parking all around the bar, and there’s UT garage parking if you feel like your sweet hellastanced Ford Focus ZX3 needs shielding from the elements.

Yes. It is your duty as a food-eating person (provided that you’re also a cheese-eating person) to eat as much queso as possible during your stay in Austin. Queso is love. Queso is life.

We’ll see you there!
