[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought surely someone would have posted this by now.  He really is losing it:

Trump wants to hold an Indy style car race in the streets of DC to commemorate the country's 250th anniversary. Speeds of up to 200 mph on Pennsylvania Avenue.  God help the hapless citizen who tries to cross the street.  They really are just letting him sit up all night and fantasize over his ballroom and now, his race.  I bet he calls Blondi at all hours demanding that Obama be arrested too.

Nah, this actually, IMO, is an interesting idea.  There have been many Grand Prix races in cities.  See the Famous Monaco Grand Prix.  Vegas has had one recently.  Chicago not too long along.  It's a ton of work and money to pull it off, but it's an interesting concept.   Your citizen crossing the street comment is pretty laughable.   Not like they just turn the Indy cars loose and let it rip!  His use of an Executive Order again is wrong and silly, but the overall idea of this is interesting.  Indy Car and the likes of Roger Penske have the $$ to finance it.

It's possible, but I don't see how they could do it by the end of August.

First they have to determine the layout.  Then, starting in mid-to-late April they would need to have rolling shut downs of the streets so that they could resurface them.  Then all of the infrastructure necessary to run a race.  What are there? 30 teams plus the under cards?  That's space for over one hundred semis parked for a week.  Then the fan infrastructure.  Then they would have to start shutting down the roads by early August with full closure of the track and surrounding areas 10 days before the race.

I doubt this will happen.[/quote]

OBVIOUSLY it's not going to happen. You remember the failed military parade? That's what the level of effort they make when they're pressed for time, don't have a historical recedent and don't actually want to implement what the President wants.[/quote]
