Plan the Drive, Then the Drip

In 2026, race weekend at Circuit of the Americas runs from Thursday, Oct 22 to Sunday, Oct 25, and the race starts Sunday at 3 PM. The track sits out in southeastern Travis County, so the trip there and back shapes every day of the weekend.

That's why the drip comes to you. Your nurse meets you at your hotel or rental, in the morning before you head out or in the evening once you're back. Nurses don't come out to the track.

For a race morning, pick a start time that leaves room for the drip and for the drive.

Three Picks for Race Weekend

Prices are per person. Every drip, The Hype included, is on the full menu.

Before You Book

Saturday, Oct 24 Is a Double

In 2026, race Saturday at COTA lands on the same day as a Longhorns home game at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium. If either one is on your list, book your drip early in the week.

Race Weekend Questions

Can a nurse meet me at the track?

No. Your nurse comes to where you're staying, like a hotel room, a rental or a friend's place. Book your drip for before you leave for Circuit of the Americas or for after you're back.

Should I book a morning or an evening drip on race weekend?

Either one works. Mornings fit before the drive out, and evenings fit once you're back in town. We're open until 10 PM. Starts after 10 PM are sometimes possible by arrangement, for a $50 after-hours fee.

I'm visiting from another country. What do I need?

A photo ID, and a passport counts. Everyone getting a drip has to be 18 or older. Book with a mobile number that gets texts, because the link for your $26.99 video visit with a licensed provider comes by text before your first drip.

Can our group book drips together for race weekend?

Yes. Five or more drips at one address get group pricing, with a $75 setup fee, and each guest does their own video visit. The details are on our group drips page.

Is there a drip for the morning after a late night downtown?

The Hangover Reset adds medicine for nausea and aches to fluids and vitamins. Choose it when you book so the provider can approve it ahead of time. Read more about The Hangover Reset.
