My wife talked me into going to the Canadian GP this weekend. We will be

253.1My Friend and I in Ferrari RedCVG::SANTOROBeantown CenturionTue May 28 1991 14:579
    My friend and I are planning to leave on Friday, on a faint hope
    to see my beloved Ferrari's win.  
    
    I went there for the last three years, and I love the city, and 
    the circuit.
    
    Forza Magiche Rosse!

253.2Couldn't miss itBRADOR::ZUFELTTue May 28 1991 16:368
    We are making the annual trek this year. We're going on thursday afternoon.
    
    Haven't missed one that was put on in 8 Years.
    
    Hope they have re-paved the track as planned last year and all the
    man (person) hole covers are tight.

253.3 Hi Glenn,Im going to Montreal!KAOFS::B_SOLARIWed May 29 1991 12:5114
      Hi,my name is Bruno Solari, I work in Customer support in Hull. I will
    be attending this weekend with 4 cousins it will be the 3rd year in a
    row that we attend. I hope it does not rain again, but when the race is
    run in Montreal you can usually bet the bank on it raining. I put a
    note in 790.136, I have one extra ticket in the silver 11 section, if
    you can find another single seat in that section you and your wife
    could save some cash by buying my extra ticket cheap.( yes i want to
    get rid of it big time.) you can call me at DTN-640-7300 at Customer
    Support or use the direct line in 790.136.
                                     Ciao!
                                          Bruno

   We're off as well.  For the - is it 8th? - year running.  We'll arrive
   Friday morning, probably get to the track before qualifying on Friday.


   Let's hope the groundhogs fair better this year!
253.5I'll check back here before I leaveNYTP20::JANKOWITZSlime is oozing from my terminalThu May 30 1991 13:1011
We ordered tickets a few months ago. My wife and I are going up with a woman
she works with. She ordered the tickets and got the hotel reservations. I
unfortunately didn't see a map before the tickets were ordered. We are
going to be in silver 21. Looking at the course map it doesn't look like
we'll be able to see the start from there. That is usually the most
impressive part of an F1 race.

Is anybody interested in trying to meet someplace? I've never been to this
race so I don't know where a good place would be.

253.6Have Fun!JUPITR::JROGERSThu May 30 1991 15:149
    I sure wish I could be up there with you folks.  Recent addition to the
    family has changed priorities (hopefully temporarily).  I have been
    attending every race since 1980.  Bruno has got the best seats in the
    house!  We used to sit at the top of Section K (name in the old days). 
    Since they moved the pits and prices skyrocketed we have gone to cheaper
    seats.  Now this year my cheap seat is at home with ESPN.  Hope you
    have a great time and enjoy the biere fois!
