quite a few posts actually. I think Plaz posted the track layout.

My dad isn't too thrilled, as he lives over near McKinney Falls park

Be sure to get some earplugs...

When the USGP was in Phoenix in the early 90s, we could hear the cars from our house about 10 miles away -- and it was still pretty loud...

Different cars these days. But a very high pitched sound, which is expected at 18,000 RPM.

I think it would have worked better with a superimposed rendering of what the finished result looks like at the start and end of the video, and then a simple time-lapse from a single point of view. Put all the "mood" shots and other stuff at the end. But that's just me.
