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/F...wElevation.pdf

I see what you did there
Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

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!

The TX folk will do it right. I will attend if it happens.

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