Cathi and Dave attended the Indycar season opening race at St. Petersburg (2015 Grand Prix of St. Petersburg) on March 29, 2015.  We had great seats in Turn 1.

We rooted for Team Penske and all four Penske cars were in the top 5 with Juan Pablo Montoya the winner!

We also enjoyed watching the support series races especially Robby Gordon’s Stadium Super Trucks.

The top 10 finishers and season points standings after the first race of the season are:

1 Juan Pablo Montoya (Team Penske)
2 Will Power (Team Penske)
3 Tony Kanaan (Chip Ganassi Racing)
4 Hélio Castroneves (Team Penske)
5 Simon Pagenaud (Team Penske)
6 Sébastien Bourdais (KV Racing Technology)
7 Ryan Hunter-Reay (Andretti Autosport)
8 Jack Hawksworth (A J Foyt Enterprises)
9 Luca Filippi (CFH Racing)
10 Marco Andretti (Andretti Autosport)

We stayed at the Frog Creek RV Resort & Campground in Palmetto, FL just across the bridge from St. Petersburg.

Robby Gordon's Stadium Super Trucks were fun to watch, I was not expecting them to set up multiple jumps for the trucks to take at speed while racing.
