Interesting...

Personally - I would welcome the change. I think the Indianapolis track is one of the more boring tracks on the circuit. I think it was interesting to see races there with all the nostalgia surrounding the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but the US deserves a more exciting second venue to Laguna.

Just my $.02.

I never really cared for indy. There are better tracks, ones that are more suited for bikes.

If it comes to fruition, the Austin TX track ought to be nice to watch a race (or run a track day). http://www.formula1.com/assets/pdf/F1%20USGP%20BasicTrack%20LayoutwElevation.pdf

I was thinking the same thing.

I especially like the idea of a road trip to Austin. :)

My Mom lives about 15miles down the road from where this track is going to built. If the track is open the next time we drive down the bikes are coming with FO-SHO!! She's going to start cutting out the newspaper clippings when the updates are posted. Can't wait!

If it's up to Texas, it'll try to be bigger and better than everything else. :yes:
