I'm sort of engrossed in monitoring Hincecliffe's times during the Atlantic practice when my jaw drops... I spot someone not really synonymous with Edmonton and Indycar.... in the hospitality suite next to me sits a former F1 WDC, one Nigel Mansell himself.:eek:

Looks like he was spotting for Leo & Greg.

In fact he was. Earlier in the day I had been in the paddock talking with Kevin Lacroix, a team mate with Walker Racing. It didn't occur to me at the time though that dad would be in town.

I spotted Mansell up at Laguna during Spring training walking in and around the Walker pit area.

It was cool to see a former F1 WDC watching his boys as they got acclimated to their new Atlantic race cars.

The old lion (drama queen) looks a bit long in the
tooth, but he was the best "attack " driver of his (and this)
generation.
