Springtime is here and that means welcoming a host of activities in the Tampa Bay area! Right around the corner is the annual HONDA GRAND PRIX OF ST PETERSBURG. Racing along the downtown waterfront city of St Petersburg, Florida has been a traditions since 1985. Beginning in 2006, the race became an IndyCar Series and the first non-oval track for the Indy Racing League. The race includes 100 laps of the 1.8 mile track and to date the lap record is 1:00:98 by Sébastien Bourdais, Newman-Haas Racing in 2003.
For 3 days from March 26-28, 2010, downtown St Petersburg will come alive with this "grand" event! And to get things off to a great start... on Thursday night, March 25th, the 2010 Illuminated Night Parade & Fireworks will begin at 7pm. "Grand Marshall Ryan Briscoe, together with the other race drivers, will wind through downtown and along the beautiful waterfront to celebrate the official start of the Honda Grand Prix. The Illuminated Night Parade has been a favorite among audiences of all ages since 1969 with fabulous floats lighting up the night sky, music and beads!" Just one more reminder about all there is to do and enjoy every day in Tampa Bay!
