ST. PETERSBURG - Fans got the chance to star gaze Saturday, as the big names in world-class racing were out and about, signing autographs, greeting fans and looking stylish in their jumpsuits. They also raced. Fans idled at dockside bars or rode in a Ferris wheel that offered spectacular views of downtown and the waterfront. There's racing all day Sunday, with the big, 100-lap race at 12:30 p.m. Check out our photo gallery of people and the day's events.
