I was fortunate enough to run at Road America at the 30th Anniversary
meeting for Formula Vee some years ago. Fondest memory is overtaking
someone in Turn 5, although I did have my eyes shut some of the time.
Funniest moment was meeting a guy who was suprised that we Europeans new
what "Brats" were.

The Pheonix Park road circuit in Dublin springs to mind. The fastest
part of the track is badly paved, heavily cambered and totally devoid of
any armco or straw bales. The trees are unprotected, although the
corner workers are - by steel skips filled with bits of old concrete. I
did it in a UK spec Formula Vee and whilst I have no regrets - I am not
goinf back!
I am trying to get to Spa in 1998 - either in a Super Vee or FF2000.
Keep the track comments coming though - this little dicsussion has added
several tracks to my "Wanna do that" list!
