^ you can never say never, but with your assessment.

If a deal has been signed and the promoters have the moolah, Bernie may be willing to push back another year waiting for the track to get built.

oh! and a United States Grand Prix

just read that the race promoter doesn't even own the land yet!?

 

^^ Read the article in the post directly above yours.

 

They picked the site already, they're just not releasing it yet because they want to avoid all the land speculators bidding up the prices of everything around it.

Austin decided where the new airport was going to be in the late 60's but kept it a secret until the early 90's.

Lesson to all the other states - you can't compete with oil money.

 

Tilke? Again, really?

Get ready to purchase your Austin Tickets for 2012. I will be heading up to Austin once developments start to snap a few pics of the sight.

 

^ I'm glad they are utilizing the hills around Austin. I'd hate it if the new track were flat. Looks like Lance Armstrong will have company when he goes out on bike rides around Austin

 

Lance wasn't impressed with our S2000 group drive last year as we passed him and his video crew through some backroads west of Austin, he was slowing us down

 

^ You guys shoulda given him the Its a public road and belongs as much to you as it does to him

My cousin's home is in the hilly section of Austin and I love driving around there. Hoping the track will have elevation changes. Personally I think it makes it better for the spectator as you are always waiting with bated breath to see who will come flying around the corner verus a flat track where you can see everything

Thats one reason why I love the older tracks a lot more. They are part of the scenery as opposed to seeming like they've been stuck on to the landscape.
