GP Motorcycle Track Construction Underway

Construction on the new, 2.601-mile road course to be used for the inaugural Red Bull Indianapolis GP motorcycle race to be held 14 September 2008 has started at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, according to an IMS news release.

Photos of the construction will be posted to the IMS website periodically so fans can track the progress of the construction. IMS officials plan to have all construction completed by Opening Day for the 92nd Indianapolis 500-Mile Race in May.

Ticket orders are being accepted now for the inaugural race. Orders can be placed either online, or by mailing an order form to IMS. The order form is available at the IMS Web site or by calling the IMS Ticket Office, 800:822-INDY or 317:492-6700. Ticket Office hours are 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

All tickets for this event are three-day tickets, with both reserved and general admission seating available. Ticket orders will be fulfilled at a later date.
