Midwest meets the Middle East...

This is the F1 speedway. One of the few things I can talk about with my students that has become something of a common language...even though I'm not into racing, I lived in Indiana and therefore have a clue about racing and can talk about what little I do know with the racing fans in my classes.

My students are a little shocked that I know about F1 racing, but hey, some of them didn't know about the Indy 500...
