Very True-- But I do get a kick out of working the fire lane and watching
the boys in NASCAR,CART etc play with all that nice iron. I have also
learned a little by watching closely. It's also the best seat in the house
and I get it for a trade of my labor for the day. No doubt though, I would
much rather be the nut behind the wheel.---:-) Sal

Although this year it looks like somebody besides Herta will probably win,
unless Bryan finds another ride.

>>Thought I would share with you some of the totally awesome times I had
>>this past weekend at the 500.
>>
>>Bradley Motorsports teamed up with CAN and we were the main sponsor of
>>#12, driven by Buzz Calkins at this years race. I had four days of
>>full pit and garage access along with viewing the race from the new
>>suites above the new garages built for F1.
>>
>>This was my first Indy and what a treat. I had tweleve laps around the
>>track in the pace car with Anthony Edwards, James Garner, and Parnelli
>>Jones driving. I had dinner with AJ Foyt, met Johnny Rutherford, and
>>sat at the bar with Bobby Unser. I was on the grid when the cars came
>>out for the start of the race and saw the **intense** looks on several
>>of the drivers faces. I was standing on the yard of bricks when the
>>order came, "Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!"
>>
>>At that point, 200,000+ fans and 33 - 650HP V8s made a noise I will not
>>soon forget.
>>
>>Watching Buddy Lazier try so hard to catch the amazing Juan Montoya -
>>wow. At the end, I took a golf cart and ran around the new F1 track
>>that will host the USGP on September 24 this year. Buzz finished the
>>race with 194 laps and 18th place. The car looked like it had been
>>sand blasted. ESPN and ABC had coverage of the Team CAN car, and we
>>hope to be back in "The Show" next year.
>>
>>Now, if I can keep those g-Force's from wearing out on the Neon...
>>
>>patrick
>>98 Neon ACR
>>98 Viper GTS-R #33
