Just a reminder and announcment.
In case you didn't know the Champ Car series is coming to San Jose!
The San José Grand Prix will be one of California's largest and most anticipated sporting events. 2005 will be the inaugural Champ Car event roaring through the streets of San José.

Race fans will cheer American Drivers Jimmy Vasser, AJ Allmendinger, along with Mexican Driver Mario Dominguez and series champions Sebastien Bourdais and Paul Tracy, when they compete at over 200mph on the streets of San José.

The San José Grand Prix event will represent so much more than a race. It will be a week long non-stop festival both on and off the track. Onsite beach volleyball, checkered flag festival area with music, interactive games, music, driver autograph sessions. Off track events including a street festival and fundraising events for Canary Fund, a non-profit dedicated to early detection of cancer.

There is also a Tuner Series that is going on as well! This is similer to the SCCA Formula D which will be more of a Exhabition than an official series.

For a Complete Event Schedule go to http://www.sanjosegrandprix.com/event_schedule.html

They changed the track slightly due to it blocking access to some residential areas. I think the change is for the better.

I am not sure who else is going but I want to at least make it to the Sunday event.

Go to http://www.sanjosegrandprix.com/main.html for complete information.

Sorry Edger I didn't see it posted before. Maybe one of the staffers can just pin an anouncement at the top so we won't repost. I think it is one of those anouncements that most of us want to hear.
