BUXTON’S BIG TIME BASH PRESENTED BY THE AUSTIN GRAND PRIX
JOIN US ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22ND AT RATTLE INN TO KICK OFF YOUR GRAND PRIX WEEKEND WITH WILL BUXTON, MOTORSPORTS JOURNALIST AND FORMULA 1 PIT LANE REPORTER FOR NBC AND NBC SPORTS NETWORK.
Will Buxton will host a lively evening for fans: welcoming motorsport personalities, sharing stories and insight into the world of racing, and passing out exclusive racing memorabilia as coveted door prizes this year including signed memorabilia from Formula 1 teams and incredible and exclusive donations from Graham and Leigh, Paul Oz and more.
For our fourth annual event, we invite you to come enjoy the sights and sounds of Austin from one of the hippest rooftop patios on West 6th Street: Rattle Inn. This intimate, split-level venue has a little bit of something for everyone, with a side of Texas-kitsch to boot. Doors open at 19:00, and make sure you’re there early as the first special guests are due on stage at 19:30.
With Buxton on the mic, you never know who will drop by. In fact (humble brag), who remembers the call he took on stage from the one and only Mario Andretti before he stopped by and graced the stage? This year, a number of active F1 drivers have already confirmed their attendance.
Our always-entertaining, fan-oriented fundraising event benefits Meals on Wheels and More of Austin AND Justin Wilson’s Children’s Fund this year, so we are collecting a $10-$20 suggested donation at the door, however if you’re feeling generous you can donate however much you wish. Will and his crew put the $23,547.35 that YOU helped raise to work last year by delivering meals to clients on our weekly delivery route the Monday after the race! Over the past three years we have raised over $40,000 and every cent has gone to charity.
We can’t wait to see you at Rattle Inn to kick off Formula One racing’s fourth United States Grand Prix in Austin this October!

I attended the party last year and it was outstanding and recommend anyone going to the Austin USGP to make time for this worthwhile event. Will was a gracious host and meeting the entire NBCSN broadcasting team was a plus. They hung around after their appearances and then made time to meet and greet us. Get there early is all I can say, it gets packed : )
See you there!
[…] Will Buxton’s Big Time Bash, Thursday, October 22nd at the Rattle Inn […]
Oh man, Will – this party sounds awesome! Too bad we can’t come this year, but hopefully next year we will join your little bash!
Will,
Really wish I could make it and meet the NBC team, and whichever drivers are showing up (think it’s Rossi,but would love Hamilton or Raikkonen). Do you have a link so those who can’t attend can donate?
Will, the Buxton Bash is my single favorite night of the year, I look forward to it more than Christmas. I am so grateful to you and to Leigh, David and Steve, and the drivers, for putting together this wonderful event. And the fact that it raises a boatload of money for Mobile Loaves and Fishes, which feeds so many hungry people in this city, is just the creamed gravy on my chicken fried steak. I hope you’ll continue to hold the Buxton Bash here in Austin for many years to come. That seems to be the only way I’ll ever win a raffle prize. LOL (BTW folks, some of the raffle prizes are unbelievable….last year, a P1 pit wall placard signed by Lewis….this year, the endplate from Rossi’s rear wing, signed by Alex. (I don’t know how the winner was going to get that home, I sure hope he lives here in Austin. It wouldn’t have posed a problem for me. LOL) Thank you thank you thanks to everyone who’s a part of this event. Travel safe and we’ll see you next year. Surely in better weather!
Will had a blast with you last week. Dads doing find and thanks for asking. I hah to leave him at the hospital to come back to the party. (Shitty son). But loved the party. Dads sorry he missed it.
Oh well next time. You guys did s fantastic job. Love you guys.
P.s Lewis did get 3x champ so the sign was cool
Hope to see you next time.
