UPDATE:



Official Haas F1 Team swag has arrived from the mother ship! BAM:



Thanks Haas F1 Team! That was very nice of you!



We've got enough koozies, drivers cards and posters for everyone and will be awarding hats, flags, t-shirts, etc as prizes at the meet up.



EXCITING NEWS!!!



The OFFICIAL HAAS FORMULA ONE TEAM has reached out to us, the Washington DC Formula 1 Meetup Group, to partner for a LIVE social media event during the live broadcast of the Hungarian Grand Prix HOSTED AT TRISH & KEN'S (live race starts at 8AM, Sunday)!!



James and Trish have been coordinating with Haas F1 Team Marketing Manager Cassie Duncan to pull off this VERY COOL opportunity to interact directly with HAAS F1 to support them LIVE during the race via social media!



Bottom line: The more folks who show up for this meetup during the live race, the better for Haas F1; and the more folks who post using our #DCFormula1 hashtag on Haas' Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram during the live race (whether you're at the meetup or not), the better!



Cassie has this to say about the support:



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



"While watching the Hungarian GP, we ask that you interact with us through your social channels during the live broadcast. This can be done by tweeting at Haas F1 Team and/or tagging our team in a Facebook and/or Instagram post. Our Haas F1 Team social channels are as follows:



o Twitter: https://twitter.com/HaasF1Team/ - @haasf1team



o Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/haasf1team/



o Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/haasf1team/ - haasf1team



Though we’re requesting interaction during this specific race, we of course encourage engagement from all throughout the entirety of the season!"



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



When you post using HAAS social media handles, also use our (DCFormula1's) social media handles as well:



o Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/DCFormula1/ - @DCFormula1



o Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DCFormula1/



o Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dcformula1/ - dcformula1



HAAS F1 is supplying us w/ assorted merchandise to include in our group photo showing us watching the event live.



This merchandise includes an assortment of flags, posters, driver cards, koozies, tees and hats as well as a single banner for use during the partnered race(s). While the banner and flags are intended for use as décor, the rest of the merchandise will be awarded for first to arrive, trivia questions, most social media posts during the meet up while watching the live race, and/or other fun giveaways.



Couple of quick notes:



- For those that haven't been before, you can't miss our place. Our townhouse will be the one flying the checkered flag. Also, we have multiple big screens and plenty of seating for comfortable viewing by all.



- Reminder: We'll have coffee, soda and juice but if you want something else to drink, bring your own. We'll provide the food.



- As usual, the driveway is reserved for whoever is carpooling (contact me privately). For everyone else, there are usually spots in the nearby visitor parking and residential streetside parking is also nearby (see this map for reference: http://photos3.meetupstatic.com... (http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/0/6/highres_285240262.jpeg)­).



- Special Note Regarding Parking: While you should be able to find street parking, now that its summer the large open parking lot one street over from our house is not available because the Farmer's Market is in full swing. If you come early enough, its a great place to get fresh foods.
