Places to watch F1 races live in DC?

Do any of the folks here know of bars/diners/restaraunts in DC that show F1
races live?  DC cablevision doesn't carry SpeedTV & my landlord doesn't let
me get a dish - so I make my uncle mail me a copy of the race from Oregon.
This means that I don't get to see the race until the Thursday/Friday
after...and I have to work hard to avoid hearing the results!

I've called a lot of places but they all are either not open when F1 races
are taking place or they don't have any idea what I'm talking about.  So I'd
appreciate any tips & hangouts that other folks know about for watching
races in DC.

Thanks.
Mark

PS: I'd *love* a location in NW DC, but I'm willing to go to a restaraunt in
NoVA or Maryland as well...

I'm in College Park, if you don't mind cigarettes or cats, you're welcome to
come over and watch here in Disgraceland.  Or I could tape it and you could
have the tape Sunday or Monday.  Shhh, don't tell anyone, can't handle a crowd.
 You're not an axe ***er, are you?

Don -

That'd be great!  I think that I'll be out of town for the USGP & I'll have
a place to watch it, but I'd love to be able to arrange to grab the Japanese
GP from you.  (No, I'm not an axe ***er!  That's the first time I've had
that thrown my way on a newsgroup...)  Would you just email me (remove 'i
hate spam' from the header) so we could arrange a place to meet?  Thank you
very much.

I realize this doesn't help the question at hand any, but since the
question was posed, does anyone know a place in Los Angeles that does
this as well?   I've been having nightmares trying to get Adelphia to
fix my cable, so half the time I can't watch the races.   If I could
find a place that would show the events (I realize that they generally
come on when it's illegal to serve ***, so that could pose a
problem for some bars) around here, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!
