All those folk are much happier dealing with soccer hombre!
Please educate me, what is the point?
Cultural influence from Mexico and Central/South America?
Smart guys trying to tap into markets larger than Continental US?
Money and cojones?
If any of the above is the point that is supposed to make this name good, I admit, I'm missing the point.
I mean, if you wanted to please people outside of Continental US, you might as well have called it "Circuit of the World" or something.

IIRC the UofT has a pretty impressive automotive engineering program involved in SAE something or other. You read about it once in a while in R&T but it's mostly autocross stuff, no need for a FIA certified track, but if it can help with something else, so be it.
I'd like to ask those that live in the area if they are actually going to drive DE's/Club races etc. on this track or if it's just speculation at this point?

That program you speak of is tiny...

You didn't really see club racing @ IMS did you amigo? They would be smart to do so however. Anything to help offset that $280,000,000 nut would be helpful.

Great State of Texas was sold a bill of goods hombre!
Austin is pretty behind the eight ball on decent hotels and decent quality hotels by the way. Just recalled this the other day.
