Baltimore Grand Prix
There is a 1/4 page ad in the Baltimore Sun today promoing the Labor day race and opening ticket sales. Nice to see some early promotion for a race for a change.

Baltimore, St. Pete, and a few other events used the tried and true LBGP method of actually promoting the events. They get the advertisements out early, each has a show car that makes the rounds at local malls, usually with a video monitor, and advance ticket sales.
They use a volunteer force, again like the "Committee of 300" (if they are still around) from LBGP.
Very good to see them getting out early, and hopefully they can get the RR tracks sorted!!!!Green, Green, Green!

We have some track crossings in a couple of places in Cincinnati that are baby's butt smooth. There is some sort of metal grate between the tracks and a similar piece on either side that is even with the pavement. Next time I am nearby I'll take some pictures. But these particular crossings seem to me to be less of an issue than most manholes. These suckers are absolutely dead flat with the pavement on either side.

I agree wth Gary.
