It is a great race - at a great time of year - BUT.....
Beware though - this is another race where there tends to be an "over-booked' schedule. Not blaming anyone... but very very rarely are they able to stay on schedule. A little bit of rain... cool temps.... late starts.... starts getting dark earlier.... an ocasional oildown....... all adds up to a considerable amount of race/track time is lost.
Folks seem to forget this happens often.
The only time this does not happen is when it has been unusually warm at the dutch.

Angelo, I go every year and I agree with you 100%. In 2007, it was unusually warm, but; there were rain showers that caused schedule problems. When it is cool, which is the norm, dew causes schedule problems. Hopefully we will get lucky this year and it will be somewhat warm with no rain!
