Fortunately I live in NYC and there was a huge party - 300 or so AR fans - and I got to go, and some of my family came in from out of town. We watched it in this club with a lot of screens and it was one of the most exciting moments of my life. When they continued to get on the first plane, the first cab, etc., I would look at my sister incredulously and say, "they're going to win, aren't they!!" It was so cool. Then the racers (and my aunt and uncle) came over to that party from the CBS party - it was just awesome.
