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?

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Sounds like a valid complaint to me. If you pay your hard earned dollars, you ought to have some viewing options. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

On the other hand, if you want to see the butthurt whiners come out of the woodwork, go to Facebook or the Baltimore Sun's website and look at all the people bitching about the noise etc. You want peace and quiet, a large city may not be the best choice for living arrangements. Just sayin. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
