A Peek at St. Pete

Team Terry gets asked all the time -- when will we know about the IndyCar Race proposed for Baltimore?  April, April, April   -- we've been replying for months.

So now it's April (and we will have more to tell you very soon -- promise) we have another suggestion.  Take a look yourself at what an in-town IndyCar race looks like.

The traditional second stop on the annual circuit is St. Petersburg, Florida.  Team Terry went last year to get a first hand look at how the event is structured, what is required, and how many people attended.  Now it's your turn.

The final heat (good choice of words) originally scheduled was a victim of Mother Nature's wrath.   It poured earlier in the week, making the course unraceable.

However, the live broadcast on ESPN or ESPN2 (can't remember which) has been rescheduled for Monday at 10:00AM.

Now we know you will all be diligently working tomorrow and would not dream of abandoning your desks for the tube so soon after March Madness, so we have an alternative -- streaming live video on ESPN's new website 

This will give you a good idea of not only how the race is conducted, but also what it looks and sounds like and how beautifully it showcases the host city.  And you can check email at the same time.

(DISCLAIMER:  This is not recommended for everyone. If nabbed by your web nanny for hogging bandwidth, don't rat us out.  Team Terry observes all professional protocols.)

Hopefully, we'll be waving a green flag soon.  Stay tuned.
