MONTREAL WEEKEND PART II

Race was delayed on Sunday due to rain. The race took place Monday, August 28 @ 8:00 am instead.

Paul Tracy finished 2nd. Way to go PT!!!

A.J. was winning on the start of Sunday's race. Monday A.J. had mechanical problems and did not finish...........DNF..........ahhhh.

The fans in Montreal either cheered for PT or booed him. PT decided to have fun with the fans, so he showed up for the Driver's Parade in costume.



THIS BOY JUST WANTS TO HAVE FUN


Paul Tracy is having the time of his life this weekend, reveling in the controversy surrounding his feud with Sebastien Bourdais and the hostile reception he’s received from Montreal’s Francophile fans. After waving to the jeering throngs yesterday, Tracy arrived in the pits for qualifying this afternoon wearing a blue “Montreal, Province of Quebec” cap topped-off by a pair of “bunny ears” sporting spring-mounted fleur de lis emblems.

"I’m having fun," Tracy smiled amid a throng of reporters, television camera persons and photographers. “More importantly, the fans are having fun. That’s what it’s all about. They get to yell and hoot and holler at me, and I don’t mind. Heck, this is racing. It’s not curing cancer, it’s not Formula 1. It’s supposed to be fun and the fans are allowed to have fun.”

WILL THEY NAME A 1/4 POUNDER AFTER HIM?

Too bad the weather spoiled the televised finish. Watching a race on Media Player with no commentary just isn't the same. At least your hero had some sort of poetic justice for his mockers by placing 2nd! Nice costume!

Thanx 4 sharing the "Media Player" experience this morning with me.

P.T. should take up acting. He is a good entertainer on the track and in the stands with fans.
