Don't know about anyone else who went, but I had a blast! Sucked that almost half the cars dnf'ed on the first lap, but it was a good race. Seemed like there were a lot more people there this year than last year.

Was there a ferrari car show downtown? There was last year, but I didn't see anything about it this year. Wish I had know about it.

I was lucky enough to score some autographs though. Michael Schumacher, Jenson Button, Vitantonio Liuzzi to name a few.

Trulli and Liuzzi did very well. I like the comment made by Bob Varsha- When alonso lead for a bit there when Schumacher pitted, it was the first time a Ferrari didnt lead that race since Heinz Harold-Frentzen in 2003.

I ended up getting tickets in a suite for free for my girlfriend and I. We were towards the end of the front straight so we could see Turns 1-3 really well. It sucked that everyone kept wrecking on Turn 1. I really enjoyed the Porsche Supercup race before the main race as well.
