Title: Re: F1 Austin "It’s official. The race is on!" Post by: CajunR on December 09, 2011, 06:48:45 AM Just got an email update:
Thanks for hanging in there with us! Working for, and being fans of, a start-up organization that is building a major new facility is not always easy. Because of the complexity of the project, things don't always happen as quickly as we would all prefer. In the end, the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix™ in Austin is a reality because everyone involved wanted to get it done for the benefit of Formula 1™ in the United States. Mr. Ecclestone, the F1 teams and their sponsors, our investors and the State of Texas – this event benefits all of us. We are through the first series of challenges and now we get to the exciting part – finishing the construction of the Circuit of The Americas™, selling tickets to the 2012 Formula 1 United States Grand Prix and creating plans for an incredible fan experience. Stay tuned! We will be making a lot of announcements over the next several weeks regarding our partnerships, ticket sales, event information and much more. We promise to keep you, our most committed fans, well informed as we move forward. The 2012 Formula 1 United States Grand Prix is going to be a great event! We look forward to seeing you in Austin November 16-18, 2012. Sincerely, Geoff Moore Chief Marketing and Sales Officer Circuit of The Americas Title: Re: F1 Austin "It’s official. The race is on!"

Post by: Cher on March 12, 2012, 03:24:48 PM My brother is not a race fan, believe it or not, but he does like motorcycles so the prospect of a driveway full of Ducs is interesting in itself. Maybe we won't need to bring him any beer, at all [evil] I'm going to scope out the new track and take some pix when I'm there tomorrow.

We'll have to plan a rendezvous point. I haven't met too many of you Texans since I've been in Austin. Especially now since I don't have any Ducs at the moment. So I have no clue what ya'll look like. I know that there are several DMFers coming up from the South too. Title: Re: F1 Austin "It’s official. The race is on!"
