Car racing and fannish intersections

Each year, as part of the Long Beach Grand Prix (one of the few car races in the US done on the city streets), Toyota runs the Pro/Celebrity race for charity. Last year, Brian Austin Green won, which was cool. And I certainly paid more attention to his race than I have before, with other celebs I'm not as much a fan of. (like, I vaguely knew when Keanu Reeves won a few years back but it wasn't as interesting)

However. This year? I'm scheming to actually attend, even though I know NOTHING about car racing. Because Michael Trucco's in the race. :D :D

Next thing you know I'll be getting a motorcycle thanks to all my celeb crushes... :)
