Ferrari Mailing List: Re: F1 in North America

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

Rick, et al: Although we missed the last 2 years of both, der Frau, Harrison 
(starting in 2001) and I have been to them all. Our general inpressions are if 
you are going to Montreal and have seats on the 1st corner after the 
start/finish line, be prepared to walk at least 2 miles each way from the Metro 
station, but the race makes it worthwhile.?One year it was 101* and I compared 
it to the Bataan Death March. I kept watching for guards to bayonet anybody who 
fell out of the march. The French speaking natives are not very friendly. On 
the Metro, one old lady started talking to der Frau in French while pointing at 
some very drunk American race fans. When der Frau replied in English, the lady 
got up and moved to another seat. I had 1 man tell me "No, no, no. We are?NOT 
Canadians, we are Quebec'rs. On the other hand, Indianapolis goes out of it's 
way to make you feel welcome. (Tip to Listers: If you have a Handicap Parking 
Permit, bring it along and you will get FREE parking in the infield museum 
parking lot) Just hang it from your rear view mirror and enter on 16th St. We 
took Harrison to his 1st F1 race there from Tucson?when he was 2 months old. Is 
there anyone out there who was younger?

Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba

Been there, did that.  Good, if VERY hot weekend. 
Pretty uneventful from a race perspective.  Very cool
outcome for the top podeum position.
