It's Getting to be that Time of Year

Where I start dreaming I'll have enough greenbacks to get me across the pond for the Monte Carlo Grand Prix. Most of you don't know exactly what goes on there, but lemme tell ya, it's pretty damn cool. They take the most state of the art cars ever made, and run 'em through a course set inside the medieval city of Monaco. It's so narrow and tight, that they claim, if it wasn't one of racing's oldest venues, they would have long since abandoned it because it's so dangerous. There's a stretch of course that goes by the Mediterranean, where they have divers on boats, in case a car flips off and into the water. How cool is that?? May 22 is the day of the big race, and if anyone out there has a big enough bankroll to include me and twenty of my closest friends, I'd appreciate it if you dropped me a note.

Here's a little course preview.
