Well as much as its been a pretty laid back holidays with the boys I did make plans for today to go downtown and enjoy the free Friday Indy Toronto day. Before the weekend of racing people are invited to come down and enjoy the day watching practice runs, looking at cool cars, playing games and getting tons of free samples. What's really cool is that the track is not a traditional oval but curves through some of the streets around the Exhibition giving some interesting vantage points. On the way out we had a good view of one of the tight corners and saw a couple of cars miss the turn and one hit the tires. The kids and I had a great time and spend about 4 hours taking in everything we could. It was about 30 degrees and absolutely gorgeous so it made for an even better time.
They had a Ferrari challenge throughout the day with cars like these racing through the track. Kids got tons of pictures like this one.
Even with my camera set on continuous shooting, this is one of the only pictures I got of the Indy cars going by.
Not sure if the video does the speed or sound justice but listening to the cars go by was awesome.
Kids got a chance to race each other on these motorized Dr. Pepper cooler scooters, they loved it.
It was sponsored by Honda so lots of motorbikes and cars to check out.
Car from the Avengers movie, hence the Avengers backdrop.

Looks and sounds like you had an absolutely fantastic day! Your videos were great but I know I would not want to be racing around in a fast car like that - I like the speed of the golf cart in the foreground! What a fun day for all of you and now you will all be looking forward to have Shannon home tomorrow.
BIG HUGS TO ALL!
Great video Craig, the sound track was very real sounding. Glad you had such a great time with the boys.
Thanks for the great week Shannon. Glad you got home safe and sound. It is still 42C as we head out for supper. We look forward to the high altitude and cooler weather in Colorado. We'll stop at the Grand Canyon tomorrow and spend a day or two there before heading to Mesa Verde and the cliff dwellings.
Look forward to seeing you at the end of the month. Hope the weather is cooler than here.
Love to all
