Grand Prix-ing it Up!

We could hear the cars racing all weekend from our apt. After it stopped raining Friday morning (April 13), we walked the 6 blocks to see what was up, with our free tickets, to see all the practice runs.

Laura had to pretend to be a racing fan to get in.

Some of the stands people sat in.

                      Team Raptor in the crowd.





Laura quickly lost interest in watching the cars, and turned her attention to the audience.

 What happened to the rest of his dreads???

A fisherman showed up.






The look is popular, apparently.

Yes, this kid bleached the end of his rat tail and then dyed it. 

 

This kid couldn't put his 3DS down.        Every crowd has at least one ear plugger!

 If you look closely, you can see the second braid flow down his back.

                                   Tobias would be proud.

 Also something most audiences have at least one of: the crowd creepster.

There was actual (practice) racing going on, too. 

 The water got the best of Takuma Sato.

Practice run for the celebrity race. Adam Carolla in the silver car. Can't remember/couldn't find who was in the black and green car.

                                   Whoo!
