    Considering how much ol' Bernie charges to have F1 show up I'd be surprised to see them money ahead yet. Revenue =/= profit. Got a financial report or something you can link us to?

    Matt - appreciate the insight. Thanks!

    I agree. If you can make your money back that fast ol' Bernie would have people putting half a billion dollars in his hand just to get a race weekend. If you could make it back in four or five years. I doubt they have paid all the debts in two years but maybe so. I damn sure don't know anything about it.

    So I'm sure everyone knows that they voted to level our favorite track. It's a sad day for Motorsports in Texas. Will and Dave said they will post their thoughts later, interested to see what they have to say. Change is not always bad but this sucks!

    No-I didn't know this. So the City approved something I guess. But what has to happen before demolition starts? Any hurdles that have to be cleared?

    Not sure of the details but the city council gave it the green light so it's demise is inevitable. The time frame I have no idea. I'm sure Matt will chime in here shortly with more details

    There's bound to be a lot of lead in the soil from leaded fuel being used over the years.
