Just FYI, traffic was an absolute nightmare getting into Baltimore Thursday morning, and more roads are shutting down later today. I suggest if you come to the race to take the Light Rail off I-83. I don't know where anyone is going to park because there are so many haulers here and they have filled up the stadium lots already. My business is a parking lot for stadium events at 600 West Hamburg St. (between the two stadiums) and they said parking will be $30 here.

Good Luck if you come down to Bawlmer, hon.

Is it OK to Camp overnight in your parking lot :laughing7:

That would be Saturday & Sunday @ $60 for two 24 hr. periods at 2 parking spaces = $120 :thinking:

I'll even clean up after myself.

Unfortunately any stadium authority lot closes 45 minutes after the event. Then they call the tow and impound your vehicle.

I suggest you drive over to the west side and camp there.
It'll be like you're on the set of "The Wire". :cigar:

We took the Metro from Timonium and had no issues.

Well nobody showed up for work in Baltimore Friday so it was night and day from Thursday. They moved all the haulers as well, to where, who knows. Snuck out of work at noon and went to turn 9 to watch the Indy Lights practice. All the cars sound like a swarm of bees. Maybe I'll go next year. Going to Lincoln tonight.

The haulers are actually inside The Convention Center. LoL & the PIT Area is in between the old power plant building and the east side of the baseball stadium :poking:

The race course coming down W. Conway st., then at Sharp st., they switcheroo to the wrong way out Conway and make a right hook up Howard st then sharp left into the parking lot at Camden MARC, pit entrance up around the old power plant and back down s. eutaw st., and reenter race course at w. Lee st. to turn 9.

Lots of people, I hope this works out for them to make this a annual event :cheers2:
