I'm a huge race fan, I even have a signed Michael Schumacher helmet on my desk. I'll catch the SJ GP next year if they do it again. |
The City of San Jose signed a five year deal for the Grand Prix. If the years to come are as successful as this first year, then hopefully it will be a permanent race.
The only other places to catch such races anywhere close to the Bay Area are down in Monterey at Laguna Seca, and in Sonoma County at the Infinion Raceway (formerly called Sears Point) - Nascar road races there, and next month Indy cars will be running there for the first time. With traffic, it can take a few hours each way, so it's nice having a big race in our backyard.
