I am so pumped! I've only managed to see the Vancouver Indy once, and this means I won't have to spend the extra $2000 to go see it in Toronto or Montreal!

Yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaa!!!!

Great news. This 4th stop, will they be stopping for gas, bathroom break, or a quick meal before hitting the road once again on their way to the Vancouver race?

;)

Seriously, sounds exciting. Where in town are they running it?

Right downtown. It'll take over the City Centre airport for 2 weeks, all but 1 runway. That airport is only open to light traffic, flights within Alberta or the Territories, and under 19 passengers. So, traffic can be re-routed to the International airport or the east runways for the short time.

It'll be a 2 mile road course, with loooong straits! The road course is used for many CASCAR events, so it won't be a really big change, they'll just need seating for 124,000 people or so . ..

Yea, I'll bet they'll have to have their backup cars in Vancouver just in case the regular cars get delayed on the 15 hour drive to Van. Time for a quick bite and off to the Vancouver Indy.

Tickets sound good too! $50 !!
