[151]

Anyone been to the Champ car races there ,know the good places to be or the places not to be

The only way to truly enjoy ALMS at St Pete is to arrive at the facility immediately prior to the start, watch the race from as many different vantage points as you are able to, and upon conclusion of the race, vacate the premises and the city thusly and with foreceful immediacy, as the rest of the weekend is contaminated with the pure toxic poison that is Tony George's earl 'league'.

Then again, if you want to scream in agony over the choice of scouring your eyes or ears with a steel wool pad, and want the horror of not knowing which will be less excruciating, but both will be less brutal than watching that most phenomional abortion masquerading as 'racing', then by all means, stay around. You can find stellar accomodations in the park on the north end, there's a toothless guy named 'igloo jim' that will give you the run of the park. Then there's John Howard from MA, that will regale you incessantly with stories of penile-knothole love in the turns.

I'd just avoid those 'Indy' creeps. Better yet, avoid the whole thing. ALMS should not align themselves with the gutter trash shit that is Tony George's retarded league of farcical idiocy.

M'kay?

Why don't you say what you really think? Are you trying to say it is not too good?

Yeah, that sounded kind of ambiguous to me ... wonder what he REALLY thinks of the IRL?

The St Pete track is decent as far as 'street' courses go, and I think it will be a good venue for ALMS. I just can't see giving anything related to Tony George's psychotic power trip any appearance of support, up to and including being in attendance at a venue where the 'league' is contaminating the surroundings.

I took pictures at the first 'league' deal there of the 'Bring Back Champ Car' banner plane, I didn't go in to the facility proper, but judging from the rooftops I managed to get on to, I would think T1 and that hairpin on the 'city end' of the course would be cool to see real race cars. Also, the last turn as they accelerate out on to the airstrip would be a potentially interesting place.

It's an alright city from what I could tell, and I hope that once the 'league' ceases its polluting of America (and pawning off a cheap, fake lame imitation of the Indy 500) that the circuit can be used for a weekend where motorsport thrives. As it stands now, it's just a piece of lord Anton's ever-changing, and thoroughly fraudulent, 'vision'.

And y'all thought I just hated grand sham. Heh.

really looking forward to Sebring, just to see those scumbags that think it's ok to participate in king george's lunacy. In no certain order: Honda's Robert Clarke, Adrian Fernandez, Roger Penske, Michael Andretti. If I can make one of them cry, the event is a success, but the reality is that they all need to be reduced to crying, whimpering bitches for their crimes.   

 

Overall, I'd recommend skipping St Pete just on general principle.
