I actually encountered a very similar set-up at the first Indianapolis F1 in 2000.
The Americans were HUGELY receptive at us egoist Europeans with our 'Ours Is Better Than Yours' chips on our shoulders - at the time.
Generally, none could believe the noise of the F1 cars firing up in the pits - I was opposite for qualifying.
Once they started coming around on the banking at up to 220mph the noise was obviously MUCH more intense, then DC went out in the Macca - I had tears of pain and joy - NEVER heard anything like it - before or since!!
After this, I always remember having full coverage of the whole 24 hours of the 1999 Le Mans when in Spain, then these guys were the kings.
