I only went to the Belle Isle race once, the first year - it was a nice course, but I really disliked the race for what it did to the park, particularly paving the area around Scott Fountain in a sea of concrete for the paddock. I care more about Belle Isle as a park than about a race there. A couple of my friends went to the race downtown last weekend, though I haven’t asked them about their experiences yet. But I like what I’ve seen (unlike the stupid NASCAR race here in Chicago). I might have gone if I hadn’t been off on my regularly scheduled trip flinging my 911 around mountains in PA.

Completely agree. Belle Isle is a perpetually mismanaged gem. The race ruined it for a month and a half. As someone who occasionally works downtown, as does my wife this is much better.
Interesting...I'm a Chicago native who ended up in Detroit, you passed through Detroit and now are in Chicago?
