[DeTomaso] F-1 in Austin

[Jack Donahue]

I was talking to our hotel owner and he was wondering IF there was going to be F-1 next year in Austin since it was not on the calendar yet. BUT - it also has not been on the same date for the past 5 years - so I told him to relax, they just haven’t come up with a specific date yet. Last year I had heard rumblings that Bernie was worried about revenue since they added Mexico - too close to Texas. Austin made a billion dollars from the race, so I don’t know, but I paid a LOT of $ for PSL 15 years seats in 2011, like a lot of others. It would really sour me to find out that was all lost.

My friend and I could not believe it!

   My friend and I could not believe it!
   Perhaps we'll see you next year!
