I am taking my son to the Baltimore Grand Prix.
I am not paying the extra dosh for the Porsche corral - we will be traveling in style on the light rail, trying to avoid the parking hell downtown.

Anyone else going?

http://www.raceonbaltimore.com/

Right now the plan is just to be there Fri - Sat, and skip the Indy race on Sunday. Not sure I could get a 4yo to sit still for 75 laps, and we will be able to see the ALMS race Sat ad the Indy practice sessions as well.


I'm super excited.

I'll think about Saturday. No O's game on Friday night so it's a possibility for me.

Have fun at Baltimore! After last year's race, its one I'd love to go to at some point. St. Petersburg is very similar. I loved when the ALMS was here, it was great having world class sportscar racing in my hometown. Ever since its only been Indycars, I haven't gone back. Indy is boring, IMHO. You'll get plenty of fun on Friday and Saturday and I'm sure your son will love it.

I'm more excited about the ALMS race Saturday than the Indy cars Sunday.


Scott, dosh was slang in your generation. Do you need me to define "rad" or any othe bits of 80s slang you may have missed? Granted I was a little late to that party, but could probably fill in the blanks for your generations slang if you need me too.

Thanks for the offer but no, I don't deal with street urchins and their bastardized form of the queens english (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

If I can get into the Porsche corral I'll be sure to get pictures. :-) Not sure my ticket will get me in there.

I got about 700 pictures Friday and today. I also shot several videos.

Found some NICE 914s, Panteras, BMWs and other stuff that I'll share. Downloading pics right now, then I am CRASHING.

The ALMS was fun. My 4yo LOVED it. His fear of loud noises also seems to be gone. We were maybe 30 feet off the track, and he kept pulling out his ear plugs to "hear the cars." They "raced" a good bit of the race under yellow, and there was a 4 or 5 car pileup right after the start. Within seconds of the race ending and the track closing down for the evening rain started falling and thunder started rumbling.

I'll post more tomorrow when I start posting pictures.

Of the 667 pick I took, here are the ones I thought were the best.

Few pics from the owners corral...

One of the rows of Porsches at the corral.

At the end for Friday, walking around with a cute 4 year old kid got me a bunch of free shirts, and Theo a free 1/64 indy car model Which he carried around for the rest of the weekend!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm9.staticflickr.com-1435-1346632663.1.jpg)
Theo and Daddy. The camera could not compare with the cars on the practice session! Note, car in hand. Theo "walked" the track several times while perched on my shoulders.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm9.staticflickr.com-1435-1346632664.2.jpg)
Fridays haul. I bought Theo's little shirt, after the shop owner gave him the 1/64 indy car. The other were free. There are two Chevy shirts. Friday is the day to get SWAG!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm9.staticflickr.com-1435-1346632664.3.jpg)
Corner of Russell and Lee streets in Baltimore. Those folks had a better view then the bleachers of the back straight and corner (10? I think 10). And they did not pay anyone a dime to do it. Baltimore went out of their way to hang tarps to make seeing the race impossible for most General Admission folks. I gave serious thought of leaving the race way to go join the folks on the hill.
