I think the event itself, if IT makes money, then the rest falls into place. There are winners and losers with these events, but the Losers find ways to survive or adapt, or they suffer. The winners keep winning, and the City gets publicity as a destination. Mind you, this is Baltimore, and as much as I find it more appealing than I expected, I don't put it up there with Boston, Miami or San Franscisco as a destination.
Does anyone here know what sort of economic impact the various V8 Supercar street events have on the local economy? Those races seem to be a mainstay of the series these days, so either they're massively subsidised, or they are deemed to be beneficial.
On race Day heading to the race I agree totally. Metro will also get you as close as Lexington Market.Quote:

Southbound from the North my undrestanding is it will stop at the University Crescent/Baltimore Arena stop.
Either stop gets a fan within a couple hundred yards. what really screws up the light rail is how close can they get and still cross over to switch directions.
I doubt it. They don't even run MARC trains for the Orioles anymore.Quote:

Baltimore GP fired its marketing and advertising agencies. some stuff just isnt sellable
Participants were able to see a real indy-style Formula 1 race car. hahahaha
do you have a link? (not doubting you, would just like to see it.)
Thanks
Christ, that's channel two reporting on a Baltimore County public Schools competition. What do you expect? Scott's a stick and ball homer and motorsports are rarely on his radar. He has to be all but forced to report on racing from what I've been told by people that have worked for him in the past.
They made a move to locals better experienced in the area promote while there is time. I'd be concerned if they hadn't..
Ah yes, the press making a mess of things again.....sometimes you can spoon feed them the information, and they still find ways to stick their foot in their mouths...
