That would be awesome and greatly appreciated. Living away from Europe and North Carolina in the middle of the country doesn't provide too many opportunities to meet F1 people.

Really, all I am looking for is a good F1 resume as a starting point for my nephew's. Again, thanks for any assistance!

The ticket prices seem to be a bit more for the US race, so would anyone be able to recommend a location/level where a good race experience is to be had? I am looking to spend between $500-$700 a ticket.

Awesome...based on your review it looks like I will be doing the Main Grandstand. The USGP is quite a bit more than the Canadian GP...it is almost like they are expecting a bunch of rich Texans to attend. Thanks so much!

Definitely try to catch some practice action at turn 1 at least.

Miami Gardens residents make a last-ditch appeal to stop the race due to noise concerns.

I should edit to include a great comment from another board about this...

From the article: "The noise from F1 cars is completely unacceptable."

Something that every F1 fan can agree with since the beginning of the Hybrid Turbo era. :-)
