One think I found very amusing was this: the PA system is playing music the entire time the announcer is not talking. If it's during races, or especially during Free Practces, when there is little or no commentary, it is this constant drone of, get this, Classic Rock. You know: Creedence Clearwater Revival, AD-DC, Dire Straights, etc. I think in the 3 days I was at the track, I heard one song in Spanish. It's like they bought the same contract as tracks in the USA. And then there's *odd* logistics I don't remember if I mentioned this before. My host offered to drive me to the track when I got to their house. We got to the track just about Noon, and, when I showed them my ticket they directed us in a clockwise direction to the next gate. This was repeated at the next 2 gates. Signage was not good (and workers were still putting up signs).At our third stop, we were told this was my entrance, and I was directed to the gate, a little further in the same direction. At this gate, I was told I was not at the correct gate, but that I had to go back 100 meters, under a bridge and then continue on in the same clockwise direction to the next gate. Next gate, guess what; next gate. Turns out that my gate was one gate counterclockwise to where we started, and there was no reason to direct us otherwise. Perhaps they were still sorting things out Friday, but I'd like to think they would do more early preparation, but on the macro and individually. My 2 cents, and this small inconvenience in no way hindered my enjoyment of the weekend.

I think i'd prefer the sound of the track setting over the acoustics of a PA system playing music. Thanks for sharing, cheers!
