I try to go every other year. This is my year to skip. Next year I think they switch to V-8 engines so the sound will be different. It will be my year to take it in again.

Have fun!

I wish they would bring back the USGP East & West of the 70's... A west coast race at some place like Laguna Seca, Sonoma, or even Portland International Raceway would be cool. East coast should be back at The Glen, baby!

Let's just say it's not NASCAR.

It's the most advanced form of automobile racing in the world. Huge budgets, incredible performance. Ferrari driver Michael Shumacher is ranked right up there with Tiger Woods as the highed paid professional athlete in the world, for many years now.

I've been trying to get to the Canadian GP for years now (10 hours from my home) but it hasn't happened yet. Maybe this year...

Big F1 Fan here in SoCal. My father and I meet there every year. He is in Florida, with a ZR1 and I am out here with a 91 C4.

Its an event to see at least once. Especially this year while they still run the V10

Forgive me for a bit of thread hijacking, but I've got lots of great memories from those colorful Fall, early October days of 1973-1980 at The Glen. Formula One had a bunch of drivers with great personalities back then. The track has great viewing areas and it was really neat to have paddock passes and rub elboes with the drivers. My wife and I would drive all night Thursday from Ohio and camp all weekend in the infield. There was a famous part of the infield called The Bog where the REALLY crazy people hung out at night. Good times!

Bernie Ecclestone, the head of the F1 Constructors' Association, pretty much killed F1 racing at The Glen with increasingly larger money demands.

IMHO, F1 is just not the same at Indy.
