Plenty of carnage for sure! The only downside for the fans is a potential for a short race with a ton of cautions.

Wondering that myself.

I am thinking possibly along Russell St. Also I believe there is one grandstand that is for G/A. Not 100% sure on that but I heard once that Grandstand #20 by the left field gate of Camden Yards (the baseball park) is the one.

Here's a Track Map

Ya think? The reason is although they talk about good places to pass it is very difficult on a street courses so you do all you can on the start or restarts.

It should be fun to watch.

If you watch Indy Car regularly as I do you'd see the real reason so many of them think they can win it at turn 1... They are young and inexperienced....... I'm not saying all of them now, but there are quite a few......... I understand all about tight street circuits but they do it on ALL types of tracks.

Turn 5 looks to be the best. I'm sitting in grandstand # 20 and while interesting, the curbing in turn 5 will crash cars.

That doesn't explain Paul Tracy.

I hope corvette can pull off a win this week. The BMW car is so strong, they are making everyone else in gt look bad.
