US GP in Austin Discussion and Speculation...

Good point but I doubt many local journos would want to rock such a boat either.

 

Bernie doesn't own the paper. Look at Australia. They have been pretty open about their race/financial impact etc. USF-1 is very fresh in everyone's mind.

 

True but F1 is better known in Australia and, no disrespect to Texas, is much more profane in general

 

the Austin American Statesman is a bit of a joke when it comes to reporting....

 

As are the majority of local papers these days. They've been squeezed economically by the web based news outfits and can't risk offending advertisers. Can't really blame them, just have to look elsewhere.

 

It's been bad waaay before the rise of internet news.

 

That too.
I'm just trying to be charitable.

 

Those docs in the link contain a Confidentiality Agreement, amazing to me, that they are posted, and that they are STILL THERE!!!





Just amazing....

 

+1M or so....

 

two months later........

 

Tavio is gonna be uspset with someone.......

 

CNN's Mark Mckay reports from Austin, Texas, on the new Formula One track being built there.

Tavo Hellmund now co-hosts a 1 hour F1 post race show on SiriusXM

Press release:

If its a call in show, maybe some of you guys can call and "call him out"

 

He needs to retain a good lobbyist, and PR company

 

Being his first time, he didn't know...no matter though, building the facility is "Job One" anyway.

Ran across Kevin Schwantz biography in a Used Book store last week but they wanted a lot for it...it wasn't far from the old Hurst Yamaha dealership actually....(now gone for real estate development)..

I already had a copy, it's a great read....

 

I guess ignorance is preferable to deception. Still though; if he doesn't get it together soon, he's going to miss the window to line up the tax incentives. I didn't know that Travis county is going to have to approve it too. $1.00 from Travis County, gets $6.25 from The major events trust fund

 

I'll have to look at CNN reports with a bit more jaundiced eye now

At least he agrees. It will end in tears

 

if by tears, you mean unicorn tears; the rarest of all the mythical animals

 

Is that my petard I'ze being hoisted by?

With apologies to the Bard.

 

your posts can be quite the google workout sometimes

 

No charge for the education

 

I think you should be flattered

 

I am. And modest and magnanimous to boot.

 

I love free ejumication!!
