Though I am extremely pleased that we will finally have our own race on a proper road course, I have to say I am disappointed to see it end up in Texas... I was hoping that maybe, just maybe, it would end up in some neutral state that would better reflect the American people as a whole... instead its in arguably the most "out there" state in the union. I have a feeling that many of the current American stereotypes are going to be reinforced.

They'll be expecting nascar, once they see computers; they'll freak.

Have any of the detractors ever been to Austin?

Someone really needs to build a Spa-like track through the Rocky Mountains, the views would be truly amazing and the altitude would bring a different challenge to the teams.

Rick Perry probably hasn't been to Austin either. BTW, welcome to the forum Kaujot.

I'm pretty sure the track will confuse the nascar fans.

"omg it has left and right hand bends, and what? no banked corners."

honestly putting the US GP in Texas is like Putting the Winter Olympics in South Africa.

I am not a big fan of texas at all, but Austin is like another state inside of Texas. It is a very cool place and nothing at all like El Paso, San Antonio, Houston or Dallas...all of which could burn to the ground most American's wouldn't care. Austin will be a cool place for an F1 race....I only hope the American fans don't pull any more Indy beer throwing crap to embarrass the nation again. Now, if Bernie will only focus on making a better spectacle out of F1 instead of worrying so much about more and more races...I would be happy.

Hey Bernie...if a race goes the distance and doesn't have a single lead change and no overtaking within the top ten....that's bad.

Since its Texas and everything is BIG in Texas, we need to have enhanced busty flag girls, enhanced front wings, enchanced Kubica's nose, we should have a hot dog eating contest and automatically enter Kobayashi since the Japanese dominate this event every year, since its Texas, drivers need to brush up on their accents since everyone in Texas is tone deaf,since its Texas Chandhok better have his id stamped to his face so Texans don't mistake him for a Muslim and their pre-emptive strike policy, since its Texas everyone should be constantly reminded that Liuzzi is a driver and not a day laborer, since its Texas Lewis Hamilton must be warned not to do a burn out and piss off the good ol boys since they have a history of..well you know. hanging people, since it s Texas Mass should fit right in because he got hit in the head last year and people in Texas talk realllllyyyy sloooooow, since it Texas Max Mosley will make himself a home, since its Texas Nico and Micheal should apply for the Aryan Nation since they still worship Hitler. sh*t hopefully in race during football season so I can go and watch my Cowboys play.

Thank God it's not california or there would be $10M per car in import fees. Thank God its not California or they would have to run special tree hugging fuel, pay another tax per tire used, and have to run four catalytic converters per cylinder. Thank God it's not California or the fans coming from out of state would immediately be strip searched at the state line to determine if there were any of their civil rights that had not been taken yet. You speak of enhanced chests when talking about Texans, yet half the population of Cali is so plastic you could melt them down and use them to build F1 bodywork. Worship Hitler? Californian's worship themselves...thinking they are above and beyond the rest of the world. While the rest of the country laughs at them. That is why they feel they can run their budget $100 million a year in the hole...no big deal, the rest of the country will bail them out. That's why Cali doesn't feel like it needs to find its own water, it can continue to steal it from the mountain states east of it....though, the courts did put a stop to that one finally. Thank God the race isn't in California, because their tree hugging philosophy prohibits such mundane things as power plants...so they don't have enough juice to keep all the lights on. While Texas is certainly has its share of those whose education stopped at or short of high school, at least they are friendly and nice people for the most part. Salt of the earth, willing to help anyone and not afraid of work or to protect their homes. California has the opposite, plenty of education...paid for by a socialist state on the back of others, willing to help nobody, steal from anybody, self righteous and snobbish. To cowardly to guard their own border which is fine since none of the 'american's there are interested in working at all. No sir...I would rather the race be held on the dirt backroads of Arkansas than California. There are some very nice tracks in California that I've had a lot of fun on...but the problem with Cali is there are so many californians in it....and they have created a socialist state whose politics make me want to vomit. Given a choice between the two, I would certainly vote for Austin.

**note** - the above was a humorous rant....if you are all riled up, take another valium.

Who knows?!?! Palin didn't spend much time in her Governor's office. Anyway, Perry likes to shoot coyotes when he's out for a jog, so I don't think he's doing that anywhere near the Governor's office.

Ok, one giant step back, cause this thread is dangerously close to being locked.

My post was an attempt at humor which I think I did a pretty good job, yours is just political, I'll give 2 stars (out of 5) for effort
