Yeah, I'm on the right. And yes that woul be a cool banner to have haning in my room...Or side of the house would be more like it. Me some racing buddies of mine were walking around the track(Toronto) after everyone had left Saturday night. We just walked through one of the holes in the fence for cameraman, and nobody told us to get off it. There were all sorts of people on the track getting it ready for tommorows racing, working on the curbs, even pouring cement.There was a police car driving around the track, although I'm not sure why, when he saw us he just waved. The guy who was in charge of maintaining the track over the weekend drove by in a BMW X5 and stopped and talked to us. He's the one who took the pictures, and he offered to drive us the rest of the way around the track. So we accepted and I got pictures of the entire track from inside the X5. Here are the pics I took. http://24.20.8.183/The%20Double%20Ap...02/Pics/Track/

I wrote a little writeup about the trip if anyone is interested. http://24.20.8.183/The%20Double%20Ap...02002/Indy.htm
I'm not sure why I used a background image like that, its very hard to read the text, but I wasn't too smart back in 2002 I guess. Also the writeup was intended to be read by my friends and family who know nothing about racing, so keep in mind that target audience when you read it. There are some cool pics of Alex Zanardi, and me sitting in a champ car, so check out the pics.
