Hey any of the other SF Bay area guys or gals going to the races? Could be a fun event? Wish I could go, I was hoping for tickets from Fed Ex. If youare going take lots of pictures.

The Convention Center was packed with vendors and car displays. Good music and food too. The food was not exactly cheap, but what is in Sillycon Valley? About the same prices as Laguna Seca though.
Really looking forward to tomorrow. I think Sebastian Bourdais on the pole is an unbeatable combination considering his record to date and the fact that it's fairly hard to pass on this course. I'll be wearing my Club hat tomorrow, so all you folks watch out for the old guy with the s**t-eating grin on his face. I am SO glad I don't have to drive to Monterey or Sonoma for this great show!
