Cleveland Burke Lakefront Airport Temporary Grand Prix Circuit.
Here's your Cleveland Travel Guide including tickets and hotels for the Rock and Roll City by Lake Erie Unfortunately with the demise of Champ Car in early 2008, it remains to be seen if Cleveland hosts another Grand Prix in the near future, but boy was it fun to head out there on Labor Day in the heat and check out how an aiport could become a race circuit, could become a ton of fun under lights. Hopefully something will develop soon and the scream of racing engines will again fill the downtown area. Enjoy my guide and as always, Godspeed on your travel adventures, wherever they take you. Cvetko Ostroznik, Grand Prix Cities

VENUE ADDRESS: Cleveland Downtown, just along the lake shoreline from Browns Stadium and the Rock and Roll Hall of fame.

> Directions? How do we get there?

You could almost throw a rock from the North (downtown) end of Rock and Roll Blvd. When you see the Hall of Fame turn right and follow the crowd to the airport enterance. The sign I'm standing under in the picture above was slung accross Lakeside Drive right by between the expressway and the lakeshore.

Local Public Transit

Buses & Trains: Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRTA) Trip Planner. Note on a cleveland transit system map, while South Harbor seems the nearest station to the track (top right), and it is as the crow flies, just across Cleveland Memorial Shoreway, an uncrossable 3-lane highway, the lack of a bridge or tunnel means you'd need to walk so far west to get over to the shoreline (via East 9th Street aka Rock'n'Roll Boulevard), that you're better off alighting at North Shore station.
