Tickets available for the Baltimore Grand Prix this weekend.

The neighboring city of Baltimore, Maryland, has spent months getting ready for the 2011 Inaugural Grand Prix, which takes place this weekend. The event will certainly transform the peaceful scene of this photo, as visitors storm the city to take part in the excitement and see the unimaginable - cars moving at 180 mph through the streets of Baltimore!

Weekend tickets and Sunday-only tickets are sold out, but Crofton residents can still get reserved tickets for Saturday or unreserved tickets for the Paddock and Grounds. All the parking passes are sold out, and there are so many detours and road closures in and around Baltimore... well, let's just sum it up by suggesting you take rail into the city.

Grand Prix fans headed to Baltimore from Crofton can board the light rail at BWI-Marshall airport and get off at the Hamburg station. Wear your walking shoes!

To purchase tickets, click on Baltimore Grand Prix-Buy Tickets. The unreserved passes are free for today,as last minute preparations are completed and qualifying takes place, and range as high as $45 for adults on Sunday. Reserve tickets are not as expensive as you might expect, at $75 for upper seats on Saturday.

Be sure to post your Grand Prix photos on the Facebook community bulletin board for Crofton.
