If this were a Wall Street Stock Market investment, I’d “short” the likelihood of this race ever taking place. I would dearly LOVE for it to go forward,,,but I am getting more and more doubtful as information like this unfolds.

My tax dollars at work? How does this help the city – people will avoid going into town to avoid the traffic/closed street hassles. Especially on a holiday weekend, will hurt stores, not help. I don’t like the state using my tax money to subsize private ventures; if they can’t make the money to do it, then don’t give them mine! Suspect chances of getting the money paid back are not good. The streets in Baltimore are pot holed and lousy; can’t imagine risking a race vehicle on them.

If they have millions in the bank, Why did they need a loan in the first place

Maryland is BROKE we can not even afford to pay our state workers a fare wage, pay our law enforcement officials, public service officials, but we can shell out a $500,000.00 loan.
