Mario always found the most inventive way to loose. Take the mufflers and those stupid wheel cowls off and I may get excited.

First race was in 1911. 1917-18,1942-45 weren’t held due to the world wars. Hence today is the 100th running.

3 to 400,000
That's a pretty large spread. I would figure they'd have a closer estimate than that.
I believe 400,000 might push capacity, but 3 sounds like it would be very lonely there.

Little known factoid, Mario stays at the Omni Hotel downtown down every year.
I have run into him there, and sometimes he signs bottles of his wine in the bar area.
Very down to earth guy.

They mentioned 350 on the broadcast. I think that may be tickets sold.

Did anyone catch the info piece where they were doing a comparison on how much space is covered by the race? They referred to the forecourt of the Vatican as “St. Petersburg Square”.
Uhhhh....ABC/ESPN...got a word for you...”proofread”...as in proofread the scrip[t before you record it and flash your ignorance for the entire country to see and hear.
Thank you. We now return you to your race.
