   There is usually at least one.  There have been as many as 3 or 4 at a   
   time, I think.  They play the anthems before the race, unlike the Olympics   
   or Formula 1 where they play it for the winner and/or podium finishers.   
      
   So they usually play the anthem of the hosting country, which is almost   
   always the USA.  Current exceptions being Toronto, and at Detroit where   
   they used to play both.  They may have only played both during the time   
   that there was no Toronto event.

   Yes.  I think it was good to have a race out there but, watching it on TV,   
   it did not look like much of a competitive course most years.  Reminds me   
   of the Nashville race they had this year... several areas of the course   
   were barely wide enough for one car to get through!   
      
   They also used to have races at Edmonton (airport circuit), Montreal (F1   
   circuit), and Trois-Riveres (street circuit, for the lower classes).  There   
   also used to be an oval race at a place called Sanair (I think that is spelled   
   right!). Interesting track (I think it was more triangular than oval).   
   Rick Mears had a bad crash there, and they quit racing there sometime shortly   
   thereafter.   
      
   There may have been one other street racing venue that was only on the   
   calendar a short time.

   I have been in Canada for about a week once, but don't remember ever   
   hearing the anthem.  I *did* stop by a few museums, including one near a   
   lighthouse where they were playing an old recording of Winston Churchill   
   through a period-correct radio.  You could tell it had tubes from how rich   
   the sound was.  :)
