It was a glorious Portland summer day and everyone seemed to be having fun without being obnoxious.<br /><br />Ace Fan -- I was wondering whether there would be any nasty crashes. The spectators stand right on the edge of the road for almost the entire course (they're barred from an area by a gnarly hairpin turn), so not much room for error. Plus, the drivers don't get much of a chance to practice or get the feel of their cars. The crash caught on video is pretty much what I would have expected to see--a little bobble that cascades out of control.
