Y'all have fun! Bruce, Scott, George, and I are meeting up for Montreal coffee

Today was AMAZING!!!!!! Saw 2 F1 practice sessions, the Ferrari Challenge session, and some other ancillary events. To hear a F1 car come into the haripin at mind numbing speed banging down the gearbox on the binders at 4g's of braking is a thing you can ONLY appreciate in person.

Pics will be up later. Now, we need food and a drink

Ok, so here's a few pics. Exhausted and need to get some sleep so more will be up later this weekend. The one pic with the "red" is something I was forced to stare at ALL day long sitting to my right. Poor me

Ken, Charles and I upheld the SCR tradition at WZ Saturday morning. Yes, the sights and sounds of an F1 event can only be appreciated in person, it is just awesome!! Looks and sounds like you guys had a great time, looking forward to more pics and stories on Saturday.

Nice pics Dell. I was on the other side in Grandstand 22. I could not see the actual hairpin but was able to see them brake from 200MPH to 50MPH at the 50 meter sign before the hairpin. I can feel the full acceleration down the straight after the hairpin though. Ear plugs are a must and walking part of the track after the race was fun.

Thanks Chao. Between Scott, George and myself we probably have over 2000 pics.

Yeah, the seats in 21 where we were put you right in the action. We got to see, fell, and watch our ears bleed and head explode when they would get on the binders and bang down through the gearbox from 7th gear to 2nd (hell, maybe even 1st, just not sure what gear they selected for the hairpin). Loved the seats but will move to another section next year. Definitely going back. Fun to just hang for a long weekend with the guys watching the talent......oh yeah, and the cars are nice too
