"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."

I hope they catch the bug and step up and put their name on a car or two or three.

It's small enough that an event this size is one of the biggest things in town.

It's big enough to fill the grandstands.

And the Edmonton economy has been booming with the oil prices being what they are.

Alrighty, then...can a reprise of the "Elgin National" be far behind!? :)

I asked a few weeks ago... Anyone know how sales in St Pete are going?

Hmmmm
