Looks like all the Baltimore street non-race generated was lawsuits:

Doesn't look to good for a return to this great city. But Mr. Randy has lots of time to figure this one out.
Maybe he wants to be a promoter again. that really worked out well!!

So much for all the folks on here that were tooting their own horn about how great this snooze fest race was and how many people were there. Not paying your bills is a sure fired way to not bring the snooze fest race back. Road course...money problems...kind of reminds me of cart all over again...lol

I've been told my someone with a family member in Baltimore (for it's worth) that the Mayor and Governor are solidly behind the race, so their money is on it surviving for now, despite the headaches. But yes, it came as a surprise to me to hear about all the lost money and lawsuits when it was made out to be a huge success....

Sample 18 event/race schedule with the addition of two large low banked ovals (2.00 mile +) and one intermediate low banked oval (1.25 mile), and one small low banked oval (1.00 mile). Would make the schedule much closer to a 50/50 balance. 8 ovals, 10 road courses.
Would require moving/rescheduling a few events by one week/seven days.

April 01: Barber Motorsports Park - permanent purpose built road course
April 08: Long Beach - temporary street circuit

Kinda reminds you of our intrepid politicos in D.C., yes? Everyone's fed up with the stupid BS and no one listening. And there are any number of us "regular folk" who could do a much better job.

Thanks very much, Railroad (belatedly)! Have only jumped on there a couple times as of late just to see what people are saying. Didn't do much personal computing yesterday.
