Did anybody else make it to the USGP this weekend?

After last year I was a bit lenient on going, but my friend did one of those, "Hey, I ordered us USGP tickets today, you still wanted to go, right?" a while back so I was in. Anyway, I had an absolute blast.

The thing I was most surprised with was how entertaining the Porsche Michelin Supercup races were.

The F1 race was over after qualifying when Schumi had about a one second cushion for the pole. The most exciting part of the USGP was about 10 seconds in when there was a big time wreck in turn one directly in front of where we were sitting. One of the BMWs rolled a few times (which was totally amazing to see in person). However, the wreck knocked out both McLarens and Scott Speed (the only American driver). After that the Ferraris pulled away.

Also, there were a bunch of cool cars around town as well. I saw a F40, 959 and a Noble M12GTO to name a few
