[Mgs] 2 Races

[rolindsay at yahoo.com]

Absolutely!  I was up at 6:30 this morning for the F1. It was a good race. The Brawns are pretty incredible cars piloted by experienced drivers. It was also nice to see the Ferraris back on the pace. 

Not to brag too much but, I was invited to work the Monico race. I just couldn't make it this weekend. I've worked F1 races for 9 years; in the pits at the USF1GP and as a track marshal in Melbourne.  Sadly, I've realized that I'm just a little too old to work in this capacity. I can start the cars on the grid and handle the pit-in and pit-lane but I'm just not adequately fit to respond to emergencies at 100% effectiveness. 

Nancy and I are doing a western-Med cruise for our 30th anniversary, which includes a stop in Monico. We have arranged to traverse the whole F1 circuit while there. 

Happy holiday weekend and remember with me, our troops. 

Regards,

Rick

One of my indulgences on the Memorial Day weekend is to watch the Indy 500 and
the Formula One race.

While I respect the skills of the Indy Car racers, I can't imagine another
motorsport that requires more skill and precise car control than that
exhibited by road course drivers and, especially, by those at the GP of
Monaco.  These guys are incredible.  I'll bet we all consider ourselves to be
above average drivers, but these guys are absolutely humbling in their skill.
I am still in awe after all these years of watching them.

Someday, I need to go to Monte Carlo to watch this race in person.

Congratulations to Helio Castroneves and Jensen Button.
