Sebringjetta · 02-18-2014, 02:47 PM

last season i took a trip to watch the Baltimore grand prix when i heard TUDOR was taking over the ALMS series...and unfortunately i was right and sounds like it was possibly the last grand prix Baltimore will ever have....these pics are just some raw non edited pics i took...most are not great but figure i would share them...

Great shots. I love the one of the Porsche catching air. Was that on the chicane near start/finish? IIRC that chicane was murder on those cars.

Nice! My favorite type of photos. Cant wait till the race at Road America!

As I look at the pics I can't help but shed a tear. That's it for the Indy series or any city street racing in Baltimore for a while. Can't say I blame them with that monster chicane.

Good pics....I am saddened that it will not come back...it was a great 3 years!

True...I have no idea. I just know that because of football and baseball plus politics that they cancelled the event I think for the remaining two years. I don't know what will happen in the future but was upset because my son is just old enough to go now and just watching videos was excited to go! It will be hard to explain to the wife that we need to go to Long Beach to see the race on our own!

I'll be making the trip to VIR this year to watch the ALMS races (sorry I refuse to call it by whatever its called now). Not a street course like Baltimore, but easily one of the best tracks on the east coast

OP - nice pics! I loved having this race in my backyard and brings back some great memories

GOLFFRR · 02-19-2014, 01:58 PM

so much win in those pics!
