Detroit Indy Grand Prix on Belle Isle Sept. 1-2. Whos going

I was happy to see Indy is returning to Belle Isle this year, after a while of not running there. I remember going when I was a little kid with my father and it was a blast. It's a really fun event, get to be on Belle Isle wander around go watch the race, go to the pits etc.etc.

Just giving anyone who is still alive on this forum a headsup in case you are interested. I'm probably going sunday, but I may be there saturday too.

Oh and I know it's super early to post this considering it's only May, but with the speed of which topics move on this forum, it'll be on the front page for the next 3 and half years.

Sweet, good to see that they are having it back in Detroit again. I wanted to go to it a few years back but never was able to make it. I think I'm going to put a honest effort into going to it this year. Thanks for the heads up. Oh and yeah I'm sure this thread will still at the top of the board even in September....lol
