Detroit Moxie's Weekend Roundup
Thursday, May 31, 2012 at 7:45AM | Becks Davis 
Back in the olden days—meaning when I was in high school—my brother and I went down to the Detroit Grand Prix. I don’t remember much and can only say it was sometime between 1984 and 1987. This is when it was still Formula One racing.
I only really remember 3 things about the race. 1. The cars went by really, really fast in a swarm and then we waited until it happened again. 2. My brother sat in a fancy F1 car that was on show and we got yelled at. 3. Robert Scorpio from General Hospital—or, more accurately, the actor who played him—was there. Embarrassing, I know. In my defense, I was very young.
Anywho, there are a bunch of great things—including the IndyCar and Grand-Am races—going on in Detroit this weekend. Get out there and enjoy!
