Today, Sunday 8 April 2007 is the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The main race will be at 1:00 p.m. (1300 hrs.) pacific time, and will last approximately 2 hours. It will be broadcast live on television in many areas.
-
The race will begin and end at a point which is away from anything familiar to tourists; on Grand Central Parkway, halfway between Ogden and Bonneville. For the many people in the area of The Fremont Street Experience, the end of the race will probably feel odd; they will feel as if they are at the center of attention (every drunk on Fremont Street feels this way) but the cars will simply stop driving by, and the end will be somewhere else.
-
In person though, the excitement will probably be the sound of the engines and the site of the cars racing by, rather than the race as a whole. What I mean to say is that for most people along the route of the race, certain elements of the race will be more exciting than the race itself.
-
People on the streets inside the circuit of the Las Vegas Grand Prix will be limited from crossing to the area outside of the race, (and vice versa). In effect it will be like a Las Vegas Grand Prix internment camp.
-
Something else noteworthy happens today, at least I think it will happen today. The return of the Las Vegas podcast Five Hundy By Midnight. Show # 113 is expected to be up some time today, and is bound to be particularly good as it will be a post trip show. The website is http://www.fivehundybymidnight.com
