F1 Coming to NYC in 2012?
Since Bloomberg told Bernie no to F1 in Times Square, the F1 boss is now looking to hold the race across the river. Is the Meadowlands parking lot big enough? Bernie may have to dish it out with the NNJR Autocross chair for dates

Ecclestone hopes to welcome F1 in New York in 2012
25 March 2010
Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has said he is trying to bring the sport back to the United States. The Briton hopes to see the United States Grand Prix return as early as 2012. F1 enjoyed its last race in the US back in 2007 at Indianapolis.
"I'm trying to get F1 to the US in 2012, opposite Manhattan in New Jersey with skyscrapers in the background," Ecclestone was quoted by Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport. "The track would be just fifteen minutes from the city centre of New York. It would be something great."

Its possible - I remember the Meadowlands Grand Prix.
According to Wikipedia:
Meadowlands Grand Prix was held from '84 to '91. First year was on a parking lot course; then on the internal road network around the arena and stadium.

Are there enough fancy hotels near the Meadowlands to keep Bernie happy?
Or would he just take his helicopter into Manhattan for some hookahs and blow.
And how badly can Tilke screw up a parking lot circuit.
Someone send some money to Tilke so he can buy a french curve arc sketching tool.

A figure-8 course would be awesome.
That would kill the snore factor.
That or throwing in a good smattering of NYTaxis onto the course.

isn't there a NYC race track on a Playstation 3 game?
A better idea, since no refueling would be a race from NYC to Philly anyway they can get there the fastest!
