Time to start planing a trip. 

I'm going to be cautiously optomistic... 

Nothing is official until after it has happened. Maybe the check they wrote Bernie finally cleared. I'll sit back and watch.

Gee...................Have we heard this song before?

If it happens, I'm there

Just "build it, and they will come", I suppose.

Glad it is on at least for next year, road trip!

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 Prixâ,,¢ in Austin is a reality because everyone involved wanted to get it done for the benefit of Formula 1â,,¢ in the United States. Mr. Ecclestone, the F1 teams and their sponsors, our investors and the State of Texas â€" this event benefits all of us.

We are through the first series of challenges and now we get to the exciting part â€" finishing the construction of the Circuit of The Americasâ,,¢, 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
