Once again the INDY is coming to the streets of Toronto.  Access to trackside offers some great oppotunities, but one has to bear in mind, in places there nothing more that a thick block of concrete between an Indy car and me.  I can tell you from experience, these blacks of concrete can move.  See article at – THE TORONTO INDY
