Pete, nice to see you on Sunday.... moreso giving that beast fo yours a run! I too had Lowndsey in my car in Indy 2005 or 2006 when we did the drive through Surfers Paradise on the Wednesday preceding the event. He is a gentleman... Others within his group...well maybe not so much...

As far as Indy Drivers go I had a driver in 06 also that turned me off the whole lot of em.. Just so (%rkein arrogant..

The interesting thing from a locals perspective is I wish it would go away... It's a non event in my opinion. And yeah, I've been to every one since 1993 because I lived on the track!! Never paid to go but have seen it all. And frankly the drunken yobboes that smash beer bottles in the street, pi$$ on my door step and yell and carry on like the animals they are lends me towards not supporting it from a locals perspective.. there are many who think the same!

A family event it is NOT!

Suffice to say WHY we as car owners have to pay to make their event more of a spectacle is beyond me...

Word on the street this year is that it was a poor event... The lack of crowds and $9 for a can of on track mid strength would be some of the reasons why!

My 2c worth!
