<Grand Prix>
We got to see the Grand Prix
while we were in Toronto.
On our way there we met up with Joseph who lives in the city
and helped us get to the Exhibition area from downtown.
He knows one of the racing teams and so he got us into the race
paddock and to an after party.
The race was on Saturday day before the big one...so we saw
mainly qualifiers and some street car racing.
I enjoyed them all but seeing the amateur street cars racing
reminded me of Fast and the Furious.
I took a bunch of pictures and probably too much.
Learned a bit more about the racing car culture.
