The one I look most forward to every year?

Australian Grand Prix.

First race of the F1 season, when they grid up and the lights start going out, I get butterflies in my stomach every season...

Favourite race is either Monaco or Spa, I can't decide, they're both so cool and unique, I love them both for completely different reasons.

Sebring, because I go.

After a long cold(ish) winter with no racing, there's nothing like standing by the fence, beer in hand, for Friday morning practice

I can't choose one, but if I could only pick three, I'd probably go with F1 at Monaco and Spa, and the Petit Le Mans.

Oz GP because it is one of my favorite F1 layouts and I'm jonesin' after the off season.

Daytona 24, because I'm jonesin' after the off season... but the interest in the moment is getting pretty low given the crap cars they use now.

I500 because it is the 500... but I always shower afterwards

Monaco because it is Monaco. LeMans because it is LeMans

Cup at the Glen because I always go and because it usually turns out to be a pretty good race.

But the race I actually look forward to the most because of where it is and well just because is CC at RA. Purest and best venue/event of the year IMO

Ever since I was a kid it's been Sebring and then LeMans. Of course, that just represents my goofy upbringing by a sportscar loving USAF officer who wrenched and misappropriated supplies for buddies who raced at SAC bases across the midwest all summer.

Spickles, how about the race where you fell asleep drunk and woke up with a doily on your head?

TBA's are so prevalent these days....:irked:

Any F1 race in the wet, SPA generally works

Road America historics & the Miller Historics at Milwaukee of the few things I attend, also IRP USAC races...midgets and sprints on pavement :cool:

CC wise...watching the occasional car go by at RA is still pretty slick

Lately, my fave race is to watch the elapsed time between when someone posts the truth about GrandAm ProtoCrap and SeanO's response. :D

Good one, JT!

Since the oldest g. has been coming to the race with me, and camping, of course, RA is by FAR my favorite. He's been with me to a few races, be bringing more of the g's soon.

Any race with the kids wins.

Had a blast at all of them, hope to have many more blasts.

TV? The 24 hors de vores de Le Mans always makes me stop, look, and listen.

The Baja needs to be watched, when available.

It was the U.S. Grand Prix, but now it's the British Grand Prix. I'll be there (hopefully) in 2008.

Melbourne, simply because the offseason is over and its a SatNite broadcast which is good for a few cocktails.

Road America 500.

Hoping to make it to Monza this year and add that.

Long Beach w/o a doubt

LBGP ad in today's LA Times is pimping the eco stuff (lame) and calling the LBGP "America's Spring Break" (perfect).

:cool:
