What I, as a three-day participant, choose to focus on is that it was a fun-filled three days over-flowingwith camaraderie, beautiful exotics, and much world-class racing. The chance to participate in such an event may be viewed through a filter of skepticism, complaint, fault-finding, or a more charitable acceptance of the compromise such an undertaking requires. I choose to revel in the enjoyment, make note of some flaws, make recommendations on improvements, and move on, thankful for the opportunity to experience ALMS and Indy Car racing, and doing my very small part to help secure a future for this so that there will be a 'next time' that may be improved upon.
I, for one, am very thankful to have had the opportunity to attend such an event, imperfect as it was, and I am already looking forward to next year.

Something interesting that happened that I didn't see Saturday was during the Le Mans series, one of the cars actually ripped one of the manhole covers up even though it was welded shut haha. The only reason I saw it was because my mom DVR'd the Le Mans race for me and I just watched it. Gonna watch the Indy race Monday evening.
Can you let me know when the manhole cover was ripped. I want to see that actually. I can replay the race on espn3.
Thanks,
Loay

I deleted it already. I think it was somewhere around the middle in terms of the time. It was one of the prototype cars and it was at turn 9.

Thanks for the info. I just watched and saw it. That was unbelievable. I was sitting right before turn 10 and remember that incident from the race. I was far enough that I could only see it on the jumbo screen right after. I thought it was a part from a car and wondered why they were taking this long and had so many safety/equipment trucks on. Now I know why. They were welding it back!
Unbelievable!
Thanks,
Loay

So the Baltimore Grand Prix was about a month ago and I'm getting behind on photos, so instead of touching up every photo individually like I usually do, I simply ran a batch edit and uploaded them since I wasn't really focusing on taking "great pictures" while I was there.
