As much as I don't want to say it...I think it might be time to make other plans for Labor Day weekend

Given the VERY short time remaining before Labor Day - and the Herculean tasks involved is making it a reality.... I don't see how it is possible. Not to mention the noted race sponsorship problems.

Even if tickets WERE on sale today - I personally wouldn't buy them. This whole effort starting 6 months later than the 2011 GPOB (which didn't break even) - showing essentially no public progress is too iffy for me to tie my money up.
Like Sunir - I'll wait until I start seeing some hard evidence that this event is going to really happen. So far its all been predictive.

Until I see an agreement with the Stadium Authority, I can't believe it'll happen. They can possibly survive without a title sponsor, but not without a place to park and hold the paddock.

Agreed. I want to get the BMW corral tickets this year, so hopefully it'll pan out. Just checked the ticket site and can only get general admission unless you get the 3 day package. I'll wait.
