Ferrari: Indy F1

While I've been to Indy several times, it was for the
Mopar Nationals when I was young(er) and single,
so if nobody else asks for it I would be very interested
in the article. I only know where the marriage-unfriendly
places are... ;-)

I used to get to read RACER at my old job, but I missed
that article.


Hopefully I'll get to spend a few hours in the presence of
one T308 on the Indy trip as well. Should be a cool experience
overall.


We're meeting up with TR1 in Cleveland before the June race
so the AAF lovefest continues, just a few more people to visit
within the year I suppose...


If things play out right we'll see you too Mike, how cool is that?


I'd have never thought this would happen when joining this group
back in '98-'99...

Me neither. You don't think about stuff like that when you join a
newsgroup just based on a common love for a car.

But you won't see me in Cleveland, that's for sure. I wouldn't go there
if I had a gun to my head.

Although, I said that about New York City, didn't I?

Did it have any suggestions for getting a decent meal in anything
approximating real time, other than at Ruth's Chris?

We got ploughed with a couple of Jack drinking Jordan mechanics there
one year: It can be chaotic but its definitely a must do.

And what's wrong with eating only there? Just have drinks for breakfast
and lunch.

Why not? The city isn't the most appealing one that I've heard of, but
for a weekend of racing, it ain't bad.

Indeed.

I wouldn't mind hanging around that track.

What's up with McLure, btw? Did he make a mistake switching from Vette
to Viper?

More observations: - I think Wolf Henzler might start cleaning up in
that series like he did in the Supercup series. The guy is smooth. I'd
like to see what he can do in a different car (different marque).

Derek Bell is really having problems with that car, especially off the
blocks. I think it might have been a little premature for Volvo to try
and race it.

I liked seeing Heinricy in there, I have a lot of respect for what he's
done for the Corvette program and now the CTS-V program. Plus, there's
nothing like a ringer. Hell, Mad Max was one for awhle.

It's a great track, plenty of good places to sit and watch the action,
easy to get nice and close. The food ain't half bad either...


I'll be driving on it in a 924S SE (with M030 sport suspension)
in a couple weeks, after several years of attending events and
trackdays just wishing I could drive out there...

It's just a driver's ed type event but I'm just thrilled I finally saved
the scratch to go...
