That first hand experience sure is the one and true way to judge 10's of millions of people from NY and Ontario (and what the entire city of Montreal thinks of them). You know, that reminds me. I met some people from Boston once, one of them puked all over the table at the bar and then passed out. Answer me this: Why does everyone from Boston have a problem holding their liquor and love to puke in public?

About the GP: GS 22 are good seats. The hairpin is a nice place for passing. You may wish to bring a walkman to be able to follow the commentaries since sound wasn't that great last time I was there. The screens were adequetly placed tought. Weather is a bit unpredictable at that time of the year. Sometimes, it's a sunny 30c weekend. Sometimes it's a rainy 15c weekend. Be prepared for either one. I guess you'll be staying somewhere in the city and in that case you best bet is to travel to and from the track by subway. I know that they have a weekly pass for it (also good for the bus) that are a good value. The city is very crowded during that weekend. Most action takes places downtown on Crescent and Peel street. Other sectors of interest are on Saint-Denis street (Plateau district) and Saint-Laurent (Mile-End). It's easy to find good food, good beer and nigth life in all these areas. Don't know how long you'll be in Montreal, but main tourist area are the Old Port and the montain (more of a hill really). Summit park in Westmount is in a residential sector and usually ignored from tourist. A shame really since it has, in my opinion, the very best view of the city. Don't worry about the language issue since it's a non issue as far as tourist are concern. English is widely spoken and understood a part from a few residential areas that you are unlikely to visit during a short stay. People are usually friendly and the city is relatively safe when compared to similar size cities. There usually is a RASF1 gathering on Friday nigth, but it as gotten rather intiment the last few years. Enjoy the GP and your stay. Liam Stefan Mazur

Montreal is a fantastic place filled with friendly and attractive people. It's been my experience that mastering a few obvious pleasantries in French and quickly establishing that I am neither conversant nor fluent, has obviated any tension or discomfort in even the outlying suburbs and neighborhoods. I will confess I've never thought to try passing out on the streets to test the tolerance of the local police, like some drunken Boston donkey.

Actually, someone mentioned about a kart track there. In fact, I think it was Doug, remember Doug the f1 guy who used to post here? From Alberta...wonder what happened to him? Doug Finch I think?
