Soooo... how was it?

The pit walkabout? (For those of you who got to go.)

[Lizzerd]

The only place you could go was in front of the garages on pit lane. Barriers set you back about 20 - 25 feet from the garage doors. Too crowded. Couldn't get near the barriers to see anything. I think the people in the first three or four deep at the barriers had been there all morning. Pretty worthless if you ask me.

Packed!!!! I would bet more people there today than there was for non-bubble day! :eek:

I felt like I was amongst a bunch of teenage girls at a N'SYNC concert when Schumacher came out and was signing autographs. I had one group of kids elbowing my kidneys and I was basically PINNED in amongst about 100 people. It was really cool seeing Schuey that close. It was wild but not worth it in the end, I was never able to get close enough to get Michael's autograph and I missed Fernando Alonso too. I also heard that Kimi Raikkonen was out at one point, but wasn't too sure on it. :( :(

I thought it was pretty cool being able to watch them work on the cars and put them together like that. Jaguar started their engine a couple of times and that was really cool. I also saw Max Papis there roaming around the garages. Overall it was a pretty neat experience being able to get up close somewhat. I can't wait for this weekend!

I also thought THIS (http://www.pccruisers.com/renault-headers.jpg) was pretty cool! :D

I enjoyed it, was there early and able to get good looks at all of the cars; however I was gone before the drivers appeared. And I was definately gone before it was this crowded

USGP Girls were not bad either;)

Wow! That's insane!!!
That's what happens when things aren't as accessible as a CART venue. We're very lucky with CART, really. :D

I thought it was pretty cool


Took enough time to get up close to the BAR garage and then just sat on the pit wall people watching.


Definately good enough reason to slip out of work for a few hours on a sunny day.

Are all those people on the F1 pit road? I didn't realize how much wider it was than the one they use for the other races! No wonder the NASCAR boys were making noise about wanting to use the F1 pit road because the regular one is too narrow!
