Two weeks from last Saturday. :-P

My kids, age 15 and 17, get up to watch the race with me most
race-weekends. Then again, we have donuts, etc. too. :-]

LOL. I was at Le Mans at the time! Saw it live. :-)

Formula One races are roughly every two weeks during the
season. www.Speedvision.com has all the listings. HOWEVER,
not everybody is as stupid as am I and won't get up at oh-dark-thirty
to watch the European races live. (Most start at 6am Central time
on Sunday morning). FOX Sports replays the races a few times and
at reasonable hours. It is only that Speedvision has the exclusive 'live'
broadcast contract. I enjoy it live. More exciting, I guess.
