I worry too. Touting numbers like $300M is nice and all but when I see stuff like, "Montreal, which hosted the most recent race, two weeks ago, on its publicly owned course, pegs the economic impact of that event at about $89 million. Unlike Austin's projections, the Canadian race is mostly attended by locals from Montreal and Quebec" I become a bit more skeptical.
And then you have to ask is that the
incremental revenue over and above a normal 3 or 4 days or whatever it is or is that the
total revenue for the event.
