[Fot] Update on Austin Tx F1

[Terry Stetler]

Is this really a surprise?

My old time SCCA buddies have been discussing this for a week or so now.

To put it bluntly, until a real, established, BIG TIME NAME in American
industry, coupled with a professional, established promoter of a successful
American road racing series
gets in the act, (Not the SCCA BTW), there will never be a solid US GP.

Formula One is the biggest of the big leagues, and frankly, when it come to
road racing, we are just a farm club now a days.  It did not used to be this
way.  Anyone remember the real CAN AM or original IMSA series?
