For the past 5 years I have worked the Champ/IRL races here in Edmonton as a corner worker. I typically blue flag or yellow flag and have worked turns 3, 6, 10, and 11 twice now. It is an amazing event that i look forward to every single year. The best part is that the track gives me great opportunities to shoot our skyline:>

Yeah, that's one stunning skyline. Is that Lethbridge?

On the other hand, some very nice IRL shots there siem.

 

just because your city has the single largest 'big city' issue with inadequacy and must attempt to make up for a crappy city with towers...
