The Grand Prix Of St. Petersburg is this weekend, is anyone else going? We’ll be there all weekend as it’s just a short walk from our house! It’s the IndyCar season opener, plus you get Pirelli World Challenge, Indy Lights, Pro Mazda, USF2000, and the awesomely ridiculously awesome Stadium Super Trucks. Three days of gasoline fumes and burnt rubber. I’ll be posting from the race this weekend, so until then, enjoy my best pics from last year’s race weekend.

I went last year for the first time, I had a friend who lived in St. Pete and since I know a bunch of people in the RTI series I was able to get us in for free. He had a friend who was having a birthday party in the Signature Tower’s party balcony too, which is an awesome place to watch!

I was all set to make it an annual tradition, but then he up and moved to Indianapolis for a job. I hear they have some kind of race there too though, so all is well, but I prefer street races to oval races.

What I really love about the St Pete race is that you can get obscenely close to the track, if you know where to go. I was standing five feet away from cars flying down the front straight. It’s great. The whole weekend is such a blast. It was fantastic years ago when the ALMS series ran here, too.

There is no “might”, only “go”.

Ask her to go to the race. If she says yes, she’s a keeper!
