Baltimore Race Still On Shaky Ground?

[DBell]

I saw this article from the Baltimore Sun. It's from 4/16/12. It looks like the GP there is still very much up in the air.

Baltimore Grand Prix group in turmoil - baltimoresun.com

Starter, other people from the area, what are you hearing?

Lots of speculation. Reports of ongoing disagreements between Dillon and Felix Dawson( the local guy with the money.)zero information from the promoters themself. Noinformation about ANY plans for the race. Not good.

If this gets cancelled won't the IRL be in contract breach because there'd only be 15 races? I hope it goes ahead!

No, but the Indycar Series might.

IMO the contract with IZOD has to include a minimum number of races. With no news from China and bad news from Baltimore they have to be scrambling for someplace to race.

All press is good press?!?!?!

I hope they have a backup plan for at least one race if they don't want to annoy IZOD.

That's a good point about China. Since the announcement, there hasn't been a word said about this race. Why do I feel I've been down this rabbit hole before?

This rabbit hole was one I thought was behind us...
