McCombs & Suavo actually paid someone for this little gem.

I can't understand the obsession you and everyone else has with the name of this track. Its just a name. The only ones who should be interested is the sign builder to spell it correctly.

It's not so bad. Besides, "Grand Prize of America Avenue" was already taken by the "track" on Hutchinson Island, Savannah.

Default It's simply a silly little name and I can't believe they paid for it's creation!

This is a name you'd scratch out on a bar napkin somewhere down on 6th Street or the like. Would think the 'Ginger Man"... but that's would be pushing it hombre.

Started this thread because I'm floored that this name was paid for to be generated!

Classic.

Hermann needed couple of gin tonics and I'm sure less than 5 minutes to come up with better name(s)...

United
Not in
Texas

Funny name or not it will be a world-class track. How many of those in Gay Francisco?
BTW, Infineon does not count, as it's technically in Sonoma (or is it Sodoma?).

Would LOVE a great F1 track in the Great State of Texas. Just don't care for the way these Retaards went about doing it all... is all.

The name is The Suck.

You're speaking of the old Sears Point and Laguna Seca close by The City ehh? Ohh yea... they really blow.

Can't help butt notice your homophobia. What's up with that?
