It does have shades of the Dallas Grand Prix in 1984... http://wikimapia.org/7842051/Fair-Park-Circuit-Dallas-Grand-Prix-Circuit

"The event was conceived as a way to demonstrate Dallas' status as a "world-class city" and overcame 100-degree heat, a disintegrating track surface and weekend-long rumors of its cancellation. The interesting tight and twisty course was laid out on the Texas State Fair Grounds with help from Long Beach (USGP West) legend Chris Pook, and featured two hairpin curves.

Due to complaints from the drivers and a track surface that came apart in 100+ degree weather, Dallas never hosted another World Championship Grand Prix event again. Sports car events continued to race here for a few more years."

Granted the Dallas Grand Prix was in July...not a smart move on the organizer's part.

* Subject to confirmation

An American FIA official has questioned the scheduled date for the
inaugural US Grand Prix in Austin for next year.

The World Motor Sport Council announced after its Barcelona meeting on
Friday that the Circuit of the Americas, under construction in the Texan
capital, will host its first Formula 1 race in 2012 and is scheduled for
mid June.

For logistical reasons, the event is paired on consecutive weekends
with F1âs only other North American race, the Canadian GP, in Montreal.

But the local American Statesman newspaper has pointed out that in
2009, for example, the temperature in Austin on 17 June was a sweltering
38C degrees. (That's 100F!)

âThis is the proposed date. The date wonât be final until the
September or December meeting,â American Nick Craw, president of the
FIA senate, said.

âA fall (autumn) date is, therefore, possible, which would possibly
offer cooler weather,â he added.

Craw said the later race date would have to be proposed by US GP
promoter Tavo Hellmund as well as Bernie Ecclestone.

The Circuit of the Americas said in a statement that excavation work
continues at the site, with construction âon scheduleâ.
