Baltimore Grand Prix -- faster than the speed of light

Ticket sales are beyond turbo charged.  They're actually airborne, and zooming out the door.  We just received the weekly update from the Folks on Four (our BRD neighbors in the Warehouse) that 33,775 tickets have already been sold for the Labor Day Weekend races.

That's right -- the season, which kicks off in St. Petersburg next month, is still five weeks away and already the inaugural Baltimore event has sold 33,775 tickets.

Here's the breakdown:

The Baltimore Grand Prix has already sold 34% of its anticipated weekend attendance of 100,000.  The total reserved seating capacity is 23,506, with current seats sold on Sunday: 9,412 and 7,471 for Saturday.

That means 40% of available Sunday tickets and 32% of Saturday already gone.  And this is before a lot of local folks even get the chance to tune in and see how exciting this 17 event circuit is.

We understand tickets have been bought all over the country -- and the world -- by those passionate fans of open wheel and LeMans Series racing.  Once the countdown to Baltimore begins, we can only bet how much faster those seats are going to fly.

So don't be disappointed -- get yours now.
