    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.

    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.

    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.
    M3 is always the answer.

    From yesterday, http://formula-one.speedtv.com/artic...ended-at-cota/

    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.
