>Bradley Motorsports teamed up with CAN and we were the main sponsor of
>#12, driven by Buzz Calkins at this years race. I had four days of
>full pit and garage access along with viewing the race from the new
>suites above the new garages built for F1.
>
>This was my first Indy and what a treat. I had tweleve laps around the
>track in the pace car with Anthony Edwards, James Garner, and Parnelli
>Jones driving. I had dinner with AJ Foyt, met Johnny Rutherford, and
>sat at the bar with Bobby Unser. I was on the grid when the cars came
>out for the start of the race and saw the **intense** looks on several
>of the drivers faces. I was standing on the yard of bricks when the
>order came, "Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!"
>
>At that point, 200,000+ fans and 33 - 650HP V8s made a noise I will not
>soon forget.
>
>Watching Buddy Lazier try so hard to catch the amazing Juan Montoya -
>wow. At the end, I took a golf cart and ran around the new F1 track
>that will host the USGP on September 24 this year. Buzz finished the
>race with 194 laps and 18th place. The car looked like it had been
>sand blasted. ESPN and ABC had coverage of the Team CAN car, and we
>hope to be back in "The Show" next year.
