I'm eager to hear more about what you learn, Paris. smiley

MAV-TV (channel 214 on Direct TV) often shows the discussions on its channel.  It's pretty interesting to hear from past and current drivers, engineers, etc.

Enjoy the event.

In reply to Coniglio Rampante :

Thank you! I am very honored to be going. It will also be my first time in Indianapolis, so I'm excited to explore the area while I'm there. Only thing I'm not looking forward to is the weather haha.

It's okay Colin haha. But hey, I think they do live streams of the event so maybe you could show your daughter. She already wanted to sit in all the race cars at HSR so why not have her see all the trail blazing women in the industry.

That's quite a group assembled. Interesting topics, too, many of which are relevant far beyond motorsports. Looking forward to your report after, Paris!
