EHS should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I agree -- Indianapolis, when they were still racing there.

I've been to many F1 venues over the last thirty years, and of the modern tracks, Indy remains the best.

Tickets are incredibly inexpensive for the best seats, and one thing that Indy allows is "open seating" in all stands for all days, including the morning of the race. Only during the race do you have to be in your assigned seats. Not many tracks do that for you.

Access is incredibly easy, well organized and speedy. You can literally be out of the track, and on the open highway in less than 1/2 hour from, from 0 mph seat to 75 mph Interstate. That's with a five minute walk from your seat to the car.

Montreal used to be nice because of its location and the ability to get close to the track, but that has all changed over the last twenty years.

Indy remains the best, and other than Monaco, one of the places where you can still get reasonably close to the action.

Finally, the track workers are very friendly, vendor prices reasonable, and the smoked turkey legs are excellent.
