I just got back from the race. Cool!! Our company catered to the Sawmill Catering company which in turn fed Gretzky, Newman, and the corperate sponsors. I got Gretzky’s Autograph on the entry ticket, saw Tracy, Newman, and all the drivers in the pits walk out.  
Edmonton broke an all time record for a sporting event in Edmonton. 212,000 people walked through the gates.

I’ve been up since 4a.m. every day to deliver food and at work till 9 or 10p.m. I’m beat but it was a great time.

I also was in corporate suites on Friday and Saturday. Very good food. Free booze. No free ticket for Sunday, though.
