I would imagine the construction of the track will be much easier than the Grid Girls "interview" process and requirements ...

As I mentioned before...

The University of Texas at Austin has an undergraduate population of over 38,000. That's going to mean lot of girls to interview...

VR, should I send my resume over to you via pm or email? You shouldn't have to do all that work alone.

I suspect they will time it for fall, around the time block of Brazil, since we're in the same time zone & it's a direct flight. And fall here is the nicest time of year IMO.

Any updates?

Interesting to note the mention during the telecast that there was a 10-20 mile backup for fans trying to get into the Korean circuit and Austin was mentioned.

Last I heard, they were having permitting issues with a requirement to get everyone in/out in 3-4 hours.

The Korean experience doesn't seem to bode well for Austin IMHO.
