Again, I rode on the course in St. Petersburg; but what made this visit more exciting and colorful was the presence of the race cars,
the mechanics, the equipment and trailers, and the teams getting ready for the upcoming weekend of racing.

I am not a race car fan, so this all was very new and very exciting for me to be this close to a culture and environment that I am not comfortable in.
However, people were very friendly and willing to talk and explain things to me.
