Baltimore Grand Prix

[Moderator 3]

Anyone else following the developments for the [url="http://www.baltimoregrandprix.com/"]Baltimore Grand Prix[/url] this year? This could be the biggest event in years, possibly even bigger than the Baptist Convention a few years ago (if you weren't stuck in that, you have no idea what a traffic jam really is).

I expect this will bring MILLIONS into the local economy. If you check out the map, you'll see there are hotels along and inside the race course. I wonder what those rooms will go for.

I'm lucky enough to have an office overlooking the course and we're already making "tailgate" plans for that weekend.

I'm mostly a NASCAR guy but man I would love to make the trip up to MD for the Baltimore Grand Prix. Your right it should bring a ton of money to the local economy. This should be interesting. When is it by the way?

This has interested me since the very first talk of it. I have no clue if I am going to go see it or not. Doubtful I will be able to afford to...
