Listen everyone, it's a critical time for Circuit of the Americas...hate to sound corny, but this is the truth. This project needs us right now more than ever.For you Austin guys, this is a call to all of you who support the facility and all it's going to bring here. it's absolutely critical that we get as many supporters as humanly possible and FLOOD the City Council Chambers so that there's no doubt whatsoever to any observer that there's PLENTY of support for this facility. Come to the session, and bring your wives, your kids, your friends, your boss, coworkers, whoever, just get as many people there as possible and be sure to sign up on the computers out in the lobby indicating your support. You can also sign up to speak if you like.

For those of you outside Austin, we need emails of support, as many as humanly possible, to the addresses I gave above. Title them something like "Support F1 in Austin". Tell them where you're coming from, how many others are coming with you, how long you're staying here, what you plan to do, and how much you plan to spend. Tell 'em your whole life story if you like...just send that email indicating your support in the title. Get your wives and GFs...or BFs, or whatever (NTTAWWT) to write emails too. Get your older kids to write them...and your friends too.

If you want to help make a difference and feel like you're helping with this project, this may be the best chance you'll ever get. Pass this on to everyone you can. Let's show the naysayers that their dis- and misinformation isn't going to stop this thing.

The meeting is scheduled for 10am at Austin City Hall in Council Chambers...301 W. 2nd. Council Chambers are immediately on your left as you come in through the south entrance.

Thanks sooo much.

See you there.

Is there really a chance that we will lose this thing? I keep hearing the 4 million dollar number thrown around. Seems like the race will easily replace that money and more with the additional revenue it would bring in. Do people just not understand how big f1 is?
 
Larry, unless I am mistaken, the real issue is The City of Austin has to sign-off, agree, ask for use your term on the State contributing the $25 million for the race franchise fee. The $4 million is another issue that should not have been brought up until the discussion on the $25 million is settled as it does nothing but distract from the issue at hand.

The only thing that can derail this deal is the $25 million not being paid to FOM on time in July. McCombs will have to pay out of his own pocket if the $25 million from the Sate falls through.

All of this is as to be expected - Texas politics at its worse.
 
What Viper said...and remember, regardless of what these shameless idiots continue to spout, the City will not have to pay a dime to make this deal a reality.
Also, if you support F1 in Austin, sign our online petition.

Disclaimer: I know....I know. Whenever I hear the words "petition" or "online petition" I always laugh...but this isn't a petition in the classic sense. It's merely a reaction to a petition by the opposition that they intend to take to the City Council to delay or stop the METF funding. We're using our "petition" to show how much support F1 has. We intend to blow theirs out of the water. Help us make that happen. Believe it or not, our Council actually pays attention to stuff like this.
 
Yes. Today is the last day to get out early to vote for RANDI SHADE!!

Support local Firefighters, Police, EMS Sheriff's Deputies.....and F1!!!!
