Derek,
Did you attend Indianapolis with TRG for Supercup in 2007 when Porsche was one of the support races for F1?

Was there today during practice, but I didn't see a way to get into the pits with our GA tickets from my brief look around. The track looks fantastic!

You are welcome guys!! these pics were taken on Thursday, there was no public access that day, our credentials were good for pit road. Got to see some pit stop practice as well as some of the cars up close, as you can see. When i have time i will download all of them and put up a link to my photobucket album.

We only have a total 1hour 20mins track time including the race. All went smoothly so far, our #7 car, Steve Miller qualified 8th and the #23 Chris Pallis car qualified 22 or so. We are the first race today @ 9:30, i am at the track getting ready. Wish us luck, it should be a good race!!
