Had a fabulous time at the Indy Grand Prix on Sunday ; we had great seats right at turn one . Was the first Indy race I have seen but am now hooked ,going back next year ! It was a fantastic one day holiday with wonderful friends. Here is a pic of Castroneves just after crossing the finish line to take the win .

HD, you might have already read it but if you haven't I think you'd like The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. It's a book with a lot of references to gran prix racing told through the eyes of a dog. The dog's owner is a driver. It sounds ridiculous but it really works. I'm not any kind of racing fan but I really liked the book and learned a bit about racing from reading it. The book has one of the best endings of any book I've read in a while.
