Anybody going to the US Formula One race in Indianapolis June 19? Our seats are in the turns at the end of the straight-away. I've been able to see the German, Spanish and Belgium Formula One races. Haven't been to a F1 race in many years though. When I lived in Europe I watched such greats as Graham Hill, Jackie Ickx, Emerson Fitapaldi, Niki Lauda, Jody Scheckter, Patrick Depailler and the all-black UOP Shadow car with the American Flag high up on the intake. Also was fortunate to watch Mario Andretti win the Spanish GP. But the one thing I've missing the most are the Marlboro Girls...and I don't even smoke!

I went to the first 2 at Indy. Very quick races, no passing, very boring to me. They also drive in the wrong direction. To spend the amount I did for excellant seats, air, Hotel, Rental car, I could have spent a week in the islands. Race wasn't even 90 minutes I think!------------------
