Looks the the Boston race promoters have promised to cover all the costs of the race, including construction, police, fire, setup, breakdown, etc. Maybe this will go forward.

Omigosh, I forgot all about that.

And let's not forget about the CART race around the World Trade Center.

I still have my travel plans for the NJ F1 race.......

I was actually going to go downtown on a non-work day and actually catch a ferry across the Hudson to see the F1 race in Weehawken. You have no idea what a momentous thing this would have been for me. Shucks.

Bye, bye Boston race #IndyCar Race canceled after local government only listens to the protesters rather than showcase the city.
