Formula one?

 :woohoo:
On the couch, cup of coffee, feet up and F1 on the telly!

First grand prix of the season: Australia, qualifying.
7 a.m. over here now - makes you realise just how far Australia really is.

Any other F1 fans? Long time passion of mine, rarely miss a GP.

I've always been an auto racing fan and went to Soldiers field every Saturday nite to watch stock car racing when I was a teen.  A couple guys I worked with in a garage raced cars and I planned to do it soon as I was old enough, got a family instead.   :icon_lol:

Back in the 70's we went to road racing events every summer weekend we could at Mid-Ohio, Road America in Wisconsin, Road Atlanta, etc.  Never missed the F-1 events at Watkins Glen (US) and Mossport (Canadian).  Remember going to Mid-Ohio for a Formula 5000 event (open wheel cars with 5 liter engines).  Saw Jody Scheckter there for the first time and said he would be a world champion, wrecked his 2 cars in practice and still walked away from everyone else in a borrowed car to win the race.  He was soon a F-1 champ after that.

Kinda got away from auto racing when I started riding bike in the early 80's but still enjoy F-1 and Indy car racing when I can catch it on TV.
403,475 miles in 10,413 days (28.53 years) for 14,142 miles/year average.  Started 7/21/84, updated 11/29/12
