David, we are in Stand 12, Section 4, the "Senna Corner." Great seats, and I LOVE Montreal! I think this will be my 8th year in a row.
I live in Providence. Depending on which car I take, we can be there anywhere from 5-8 hours

Senna corner is the best. If ever you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line. What kind of car do you have ?
PS: RI is one of my favorite places, I love to sail.

I'll be hitting the road for the ten+ hour drive to Montreal in the Porsche as I always have - for the 12th year running.

I use to have those same EXACT seats, but lost my advanced right of first refusal after taking a year off of the GP when I had a new born that the same week as the F1.......This year I can only go on the Friday and I will be in 33. I have a trip to go on. What a drag.
I love to go to CHAMP car and almost more than F1 now.

Since I use any opportunity at all to post a pic of the Elise, here it is
 I went to the CART event the 1st year, I think in 02?? It's pretty cool that they actually appreciate their fans. Access everywhere, and friendly people along the pits ... what a change of pace! The F1 people tolerate the ticket holders, barely. Here's my baby! I thought the Elise had gotten the green light in Canada

S-E-X-Y, I love it. I found out today we do have it in Canada, but only recently. What does it go for in the $US?
As for Champ car, I was lucky to work for a company with a car in Toyota Atlantic which races with Champ Car. Since I was head of marketing, my job "entitled" me to follow the team to races. If ever you have questions for your trip to MTL, let me know.
