Indy Grand Prix of Louisiana

Congrats guys!!!

I think you mean 2015.......

 

If the winner in New Hampshire gets a large lobster, will this race reward the winner with a crawfish?

P.S. That's about the time of year that the race in Alabama has been taking place. Is Barber losing its race?

 

I think there are some safety issues with Road Atlanta that have never been adequately dealt with. It doesn't seem to bother the sportscar or motorcycle racers, but everytime IndyCar has been mentioned in the past, safety was always an issue.

Frankly I'd like to see NASCAR Sprint Cup race there. For a series born in the South (and from drivers in hot cars trying to outrace revenue agents - on the road!), it's a bit silly that the only two road races on the calendar are in California and New York. Sprint Cup really does need a road race in the South, and Road Atlanta seems like the obvious venue.

 

What safety issues did they have going on with the Indycars at Road Atlanta?

I hope Andretti Sports Marketing is successful with the IGPoL

 

Road Atlanta is surrounded by concrete walls just a few yards off the racing surface. it's begging for SAFER barriers (and is probably why IndyCar doesn't want to be there)

 

ah ok, but Road America is no different really in terms of safety regarding the walls but that's never really been brought up as a hinging issue with them that I know of.

 

but they aren't racing there either

I agree, Road Atlanta gets a bad rap safety wise, not entirely deserved. but it can result in some big crashes.

 

Does anybody know of any car clubs attending the Indy Race of Louisiana on the weekend of April 10th 11th and 12th . And participating in any of the car corals to show there cars,
I talked the people at track and they said they are only selling package groups to car clubs
That would include car coral parking and grandstand tickets and paddock passes.
Please post any information as I am interested in parking in car coral.
Thanks
