Saturday Morning Practice
This is my paddock pass, autographed by Helio Castro-Neves and Tony
Kanaan.

Saturday Qualifying
Max Papis qualified second. Is his hair green for Halloween or as a
good luck charm?

Saturday Night
More parties on Saturday night, starting with a barbecue courtesy
of the timing and scoring volunteers. Then suffering a flashback in
time with a concert by Peter Frampton. And then on to the
Mercedes-Benz and PacWest World Party with free food and drink and a
live hook-up to the McLaren team for the Formula 1 finale. No photos,
I'm afraid, but I had a good time!

Sunday - The Race
A beautiful day for the race although it was marred by another
tragedy, the loss of popular driver Greg Moore.

This a map of the
