You're nuts if you don't take this opportunity. You will have a really good time. Bring ear protection - you'll need it!

Stop by and say Hi if you go.

I've been to F1, CART, NASCAR and IMSA races by myself and I like it. Wander wherever w/o worrying about who's enjoyin' what view. You always meet cool peeps at a race and it never ceases to amaze me that now matter how many ppl I know personally who don't have a fuckin' clue about F1, every bloody person in the stands can tell you tire compounds, drivers' helmet designs, last team, last points, etc. Once you hear it, smell it, feel it and see it live, auto racing ownz ju! I've been hooked since I was pre-teen (Watkins Glen). I'd be willing to bet I've seen over 2oo professional races in my life which is why I'm pissed I'm missing this weekend's USGP!@!! I've said it a coupla times, but FAWK, I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M NOT THERE!!

Case is NOT settled. Fawk. I spent the day with a judge, two lawyers on the other side and a court reporter. We are within 50K of each other and my adversaries can't get an adjuster from the insurance carrier on the line w/ enough authority to settle the claim for what I need. Chief ain't there boyz, take lots o picks. Wander around under the terrace grandstand on raceday near the elevators. Look for John Davis from Motorweek. If you see him, walk up and say hi, he's gotta be one of the nicest guys my wife and I have ever met. He sat w/ us at the McLaren party two years ago (tell him Scott sez hello) Enjoy Soopa and Astro!! JV 5th this afternoon, that's cool. Too bad it won't last.
