The inaugural Red Bull Indianapolis GP was a mixed bag of sorts. It was my first time witnessing a proper GP in person but hurricane Ike robbed everyone of the full experience when the 250cc race had to be canceled. Still, other than that the torrential downpour did little to dampen my spirits and I loved every minute of it. It was cool to see all 3 GP classes circulating the track all weekend and the Thursday rider interview session was quite a treat.
