[DeTomaso] F-1 in Austin

The governor sitting at the time the deal was made (Rick Perry--a Texas
Aggie) supported the track and the agreement called for $25M for COTA. The
new governor (Greg Abbott--a Texas Longhorn) decided to reinterpret the
agreement claiming the state owed less (I believe $19M). The shortfall
created a huge problem for the track, especially when combined with last
year¹s loss of Saturday (bad storms) and poor attendance on Sunday (rainy up
until race time).
This year hopefully turned things around. If you saw Hamilton¹s post-race
interview, you may have noticed it looked like a plea to ensure COTA stays
on the schedule in the future.
Sorry, couldn¹t resist including the alma maters of the two governorsglad
Perry isn¹t our President, but I am glad he was governor when the track
sought support along with movie makers, and all the other entertainment
based entities that come to Austin.

Wasn't there some funding problems for the people who put on the race
in Austin? Texas cut back the money they were getting or something.
