IN! better book hotels soon.
Travelocity and Expedia aren't open to book this far in advance!
Im there, and I have family 20 minutes or so from the track, so I have everything booked already. :)
fyi that is a provisional date. i'm waiting for it to be confirmed to able to purchase tickets.
In! Got my room reserved at the downtown Courtyard Marriott. It pays to have 1 million+ Marriott points. ;)
June 17th....it's gonna be HOT
.. and the women wear less ;)
Hotel booked...
Planning to be there. Still have friends that live there, so I hope they give me a bedroom. Or I'll take the in-laws RV.
Someone is thinking about the drivers and fans...Link
Speaking at this past weekend's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Ecclestone has been quoted as saying that progress on building the Circuit of the Americas that's set to host the United States Grand Prix next year is lagging behind schedule. According to the ESPN report, Ecclestone says the relevant parties behind the project on the ground have "forgotten to talk to each other."

Interesting....
I was planning on selling my house and moving back to DFW in late May 2012. Maybe We'll push that back a month.
I wouldn't change any plans based on that. Last I heard they were scratching the summer dated idea anyway and looking at the fall, based on avg summer temps in Austin.
The race got moved to November awhile back.

With all work on the track stopped, money in question, and NJ/NY having a race now what will happen? I'm in Austin and the news here has not been good.
I think we'll have a go/no-go decision in the next two weeks.
Just read an article from autoweek.com. Things are looking worse...much worse.
Damn shame.

This just sucks, I love watching F1 but the politics just ruins it. Just like having a US team actually form a team, what a waste of $$$ that was.
I'm happy it's out of Austin. It's good for the local tracks I think, it helps slow the Dallas-conversion, and all the socialist, liberal, homosexual Europeans out of the land of liberty.
Bernie Ecclestone says next year's US Grand Prix is set to be axed

The Texas state government then issued a statement saying that $25m (£15.8m) that had been earmarked to pay the sanctioning fee to Ecclestone would not be paid until after the first race.
And Circuit of Americas (Cota) bosses responded by saying they had not been sent a contract.
Ecclestone, who was talking to the Press Association, said no contract had been issued because he had yet to receive a guarantee or letter of credit that he would be paid.
Bernie got his money. Construction re-started.

Digging up this old thread! Anyone is going to the Nov F1 race in Austin. I just checked, ticket is not on sale yet. However, even the 2-stars hotels are around $200/night! I wonder we have enough from here to get some kind of group rate?
I heard on the local news that many of the hotels are listing that weekend closer to $400 a night.
And higher, check out the famous Driskel for that weekend. Yes, even Motel 6 has jacked up prices. How many of us can you fit Bo? Just kidding. If I can afford tickets I'll find a place to stay.
I would try to fit everyone, but I am selling my house and moving to Richardson in May. I'm sure you will all welcome me back with open arms, now that I am miata-less, right?Quote:

Cool... You are always welcome!
Glad to have you back Bo Bo! You and Ingrid are welcome anytime. We are in Murphy now. Not to far from you.
