Guys, guys, guys!
Shouldn't you guys be planning your drive to Indy in 2012? ![]()
Does the Austin group have anywhere near the funding that will be
needed to build this track? Where do they stand on environmental
reviews? How about factoring in delays from any local opposition that
is sure to stretch out the permitting and approval of a race track facility of
that size?
Not to throw cold water on the enthusiasm of the return of F1 to the U.S.
but I don't see this group being able to get everything together in time
for a race in Austin in 2012, and maybe not ever. Summer of 2012
is only 24 months away, that is not very much time for a project of this
magnitude, even if they already have all of the money to build it in the bank,
which I don't think these guys do.
Do you guys really think that this is going to happen in 2012?
Don't you think that this is more Bernie's attempt to put some pressure on
Indy to try to level the playing field since Indy doesn't really need F1 and he
needs to try to salvage some sort of a good deal for himself.
Just wondering,
John

Planet earth as quoted by
Mapquest, Hans. Yeah, probably doable in less time, but then again, it's
not point to point, doesn't figure in toilet stops, getting to motel/race
track, parking, etc. Oh, yeah, and a meal. I can go (and have) 24
straight with Gatorade and granola bars, but I'm a LOT older now, and have
wifey to consider.
All the
best,
Tom in Tulsa

What planet do you drive on? 450 miles is 6 hours max.
Hans. (who routinely makes the 405 mile trek to Sacramento
in exactly 5 hours)

Well Rick, if you were still in Tulsa you'd be about 7
1/2 hours (about 450
or so miles) from the F1 site. One day's
drive. Not too shabby.

intersection). That area is
in the start of the Texas Hill Country and as
the name implies, there's
quite a bit of elevation relief - lots of ups and
downs. A track built
there would be anything but boring! Add in the fact
that its
2-1/2 hours from my front door and I'm smiling.
