Sunday 18th November- Its the big day today

A very quick journey to the race track at about 50 minutes for the 40 odd miles from Georgetown. There were more cops and one way streets and the car park was not so full as yesterday, but this would not last.
We agreed with John and Denise that they should take the DHL box tickets as just sitting next to us we would not be able to communicate at all for the the noise of the formula one cars. So they went off and we and walked to took our seats and met up with a group of three very large Austin Texas Cops and had a chat to them about the day and they were pleased to be there for the fun and the extra money they were getting.
The people on the stand around us were good fun, a father(70 ish) and son (40 ish) were great to talk to and discuss the finer points of Formula 1 racing and who would win etc. The race was excellent and Hamilton trailed Vettel for about 40 laps then took him well but Vettel complained, rather silly really about the manoeuvre, which looked good to everyone else. JB dropped from 12th grid position to about 17th then pulled him self  together and finally reached 5th position which was good, clearly something wrong with the car of the driver, or both?

THE US AIR FORCE HISTORIC FLYPAST

The traffic leaving the circuit was rather bad and took quite a while to extract ourselves and then they put us on a road in completely the wrong direction which made us rather late to get back to Georgetown and also tired for the concert that John had booked with the ‘Wallflowers’ Bob Dillon’s son and his group and so after a brief discussion we decided to forgo the concert which in one way was a shame but quite frankly we were all dog tired after a day of sun and 78 degrees of heat.

So we had a light snack and watched TV and then went to bed rather exhausted. A brilliant day indeed.
