Chump change if you have any kind of background a group of investors would take seriously. Shit economy or no, it's not that hard to raise money for what amounts to a sure thing with global exposure.

I disagree or Austin would have signed the contract and there wouldn't be not hassle one.

Obviously the City/State put a no way we aren't giving you a nickel on it.


If it were important enough to Austin it would have happened. Obviously one 3 day weekend wasn't.

Well that's bloody annoying!!

Surely the U.S can successfully orchestrate such an event on schedule considering that Korea and India have successfully done so.

I haven't read too much into the details, but if it involves funding problems, then I blame George Bush for putting America in the shit economic position it's in at the moment.

Good for you. I, for one, give no fvcks what you think.

Stick to talking F1 instead of American politics.
