Good News From Edmonton

Quote:
Only a few weeks ago Edmonton became the home of an annual champ car race, replacing the Molson Vancouver Indy. Yesterday, event general manager Greg Macdonald was able to reveal staggering numbers.

"It's absolutely exploded. We've expanded our corporate suite and grandstand projections three times.

"We're up to 80 suites now and are only three or four away from being sold out at $40,000 a suite. That's almost triple what Vancouver took in all year.

"We're up to 48,000 in grandstand seats we've rented and are already over 30% sold out,'' he said of the three-day all-event passes.

"We've sold more in seven weeks in Edmonton than they've sold in seven months in Toronto. And a lot of the real auto-racing fans have been waiting for that track map and seating manifest to see where they want to buy their tickets.''

That happens today at edmontonchampcar.com. The race, which is signed up for five years, goes July 15-17.

I don't see the IRL doing these kind of number if they move to Canada.

Excellent news from what should quickly become one of the most popular events.

I think the IRL could run a Winnipeg (or somewhere like that) race and be moderately successful, albeit probably not quiet as successful as a CC race.

Ted's thread was initially to inform us of the way tickets are flying off-the-shelf in Edmonton. I guess I inadvertently hijacked his thread to discuss the track layout, and so in fairness to Ted I've split that part of the convo into its own thread.
