LiL4X: NASCAR never had a permanent venue in Texas until just a few years ago when Texas Motor Speedway came to Dallas. >>>

3/4 mile straight 200+ mph down there, a flat-out 'quadruple apex', lots of over 45 degree turns, looks to be pretty decent. Outbraking into the turns from the long straights will be good for passing. The esses are meant to be like Silverstone, and the quad-apex Turkey. the long back straight with a slight curve like Hungaoring. So the best parts of current Tilke tracks. But this place looks different. I hope it's good racing, it looks to be so.

To all Supporters of Formula 1,
Please show your support for the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix (tm) this Tuesday, November 16:
(1) By emailing the Zoning and Platting Commission members at the addresses below before Tuesday. Be sure to sign your name:
I'd like to take this opportunity to note that all proceedings with the City of Austin have been mutually amicable. The City has been working in good faith to help the developers move the project along and stay on schedule. Please let your emails reflect that by sending a positive, friendly message for F1, it's teams, it's sponsors, and most importantly it's fans.

sbald@sbcglobal.net
gbourgeois@jonescarter.com
trabago@austin.rr.com

Below is one possible draft email that you may copy and paste or simply use as a framework for your own original email. Feel free to edit as you see fit.
Also, pass this along by email or other appropriate message boards to your friends who are interested. I already have people in Russia and Latvia sending emails to the commission showing their support for this project. When they get these emails from all over the world, it should make a bit of an impression of what a truly global event the USGP is going to be!!
(2) If you're in Austin, Texas, by attending the Zoning & Platting Commission meeting on Tuesday, November 16 at 6:00pm.
We need your support for Formula 1 in Austin. Please attend this meeting and help us show Austin we support approval for the Formula 1 project. Just showing up provides great support and is very meaningful.
The meeting will be held in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 301 W. 2nd Street. ...Please plan to arrive by 5:45 in order to sign up in favor of item #4. You may also sign up to speak in favor of the item at this time. Garage parking tickets can be validated inside City Hall.
See you there!
Thanks in advance, guys!

Dear Zoning and Platting Commissioners:
As a strong advocate for bringing Formula 1 racing to Austin, Texas, I urge you to approve item #4 on the agenda for November 16 (the cut and fill variance along with the slope variance for the United States Grand Prix site). City staff and the Environmental Board have recommended these two variances for the project. The variance requests are consistent with past requests made throughout Austin. In addition, this project will serve as a catalyst that has long been needed in the City of Austin’s Desired Development Zone.
Supporting these variances will bring this project a step closer to becoming a reality. I am eager for the arrival of Formula 1 in Austin, Texas, and urge you to support these matters.
Sincerely,
Supporter of the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix (tm) in Austin, Texas
