Default My Day At The USGP

Got the pics up finally at http://www.section8blammo.com/www/Su...eries/USGP.htm

There's 60-some photos so all you 56k'ers, just stay here. My friends (Lucas - Williams BMW Hat, John - Mouth Hanging Open) and I went to see the United States Grand Prix at Indianapolis. It was a great time. There was a Porsche race that Henzler won to kick things off. Of course, Michael Schumacher won the GP. Sir Jackie Stewart (3-time F1 Champ) drove the Concept Ford GT40 around the track a couple of times. It was a really good time. :thumbup: On the way home, however, in heavy traffic and rain, a Porsche tagged the back end of a Thunderbird, and we had nowhere to go. The last photo in the series is the aftermath. There wasn't much damage but Lucas still hit a Porsche. Everyone, have a good thought for him. We don't know what's going to happen yet. But the race went really well, and we'll be going back next year, provided someone else drives. I think Lucas just wants to ride along from now on.

Here's a pic of Juan Pablo Montoya's BMW. He really had a good race going until it started to rain, and he lost it somewhere in the last four turns. He recovered, and eventually came back to fifth, keeping him in the points. Good race for guys like Schumi and Kimi though.

No Ferrari Challenge race this year? Last year one of the Ferrari 360's got into a wreck and the tow truck that was lifting it up messed up and the bumper broke off and into the stands.

Raikonnen can win only if he wins at Suzuka and Schumacher finishes out of the points. Montoya is gonna have to try next year for the world championship.

Wow, no. No Ferrari Challenge this year. I think I need to learn a few new languages before I go next year. There was a kid of about 4 or 5 babbling on in German next to me. There were Colombians all around singing about Montoya. Add to the fray a couple of Italians, some Japanese folk, and a whole lot of Brazilians as well. It was a great time.

See we were in the general area by the back straight so we could walk all the way down to the end of the back straight and watch the brake rotors glowing. Did you see some of those Italian chicks wearing nothing but a Ferrari flag held on with a safety pin. h:

Entirely possible too with all the added rules this year but I'm still pulling for Schumacher to take his 6th. Raikonnen had the fastest laps of the day. Somewhere in the 1:11:xx range.

EDIT: There were beautiful women everywhere we walked. Another good reason to learn some other languages. :naughty:

Nope... Schumi had a 1:11:473.

1. Michael Schumacher - 1'11"473 - lap 13
2. Fernando Alonso - 1'11"525 - lap 9
3. Juan Pablo Montoya - 1'11"595 - lap 9
4. Kimi Raikkonen - 1'11"617 - lap 9
5. Ralf Schumacher - 1'11"655 - lap 13
6. David Coulthard - 1'12"009 - lap 12
7. Jarno Trulli - 1'12"015 - lap 14
8. Jenson Button - 1'13"038 - lap 10
9. Nick Heidfeld - 1'13"085 - lap 13
10. Mark Webber - 1'13"099 - lap 12
11. Cristiano Da Matta - 1'13"231 - lap 13
12. Justin Wilson - 1'13"324 - lap 12
13. Heinz-Harald Frentzen - 1'13"338 - lap 71
14. Olivier Panis - 1'13"340 - lap 12
15. Jacques Villeneuve - 1'13"538 - lap 62
16. Giancarlo Fisichella - 1'13"630 - lap 13
17. Rubens Barrichello - 1'13"905 - lap 2
18. Ralph Firman - 1'14"687 - lap 11
19. Nicolas Kiesa - 1'14"737 - lap 67
20. Jos Verstappen - 1'15"257 - lap 68

Raikonnen can win but its a very difficult task. It means a lot of things screwing up for Ferrari.
