Hyatt won't let me reserve until 13 months before the event (sometime in October).
Any dirty tricks out there to reserve a room? Expedia, Hotels.com, etc all do the same, they are only giving dates up to june-july 2012.

Here’s a huge clue that the inaugural date for Formula One racing in Austin will be moved from June to later in the year
Key excerpts from the article, published 2 days ago....
"Local promoters for the race have officially — though temporarily — withdrawn their application to tap $25 million from an economic development fund administered by the state comptroller’s office."
"The technical reason for the withdrawal is that applications to participate in the Major Events Trust Fund cannot be filed more than a year out from the date the event is going to be held. Organizers had rushed to get their application in earlier this summer because the international F1 sanctioning body had announced that first Austin race would be held the weekend of June 17, 2012."
"Local Organizing Committee director Wayne Hollingsworth to the comptroller’s office explains. “Due to the potential change in the initial Race Event date, the Committee hereby withdraws its June 30, 2011 request for participation in and application for the Trust Fund.”"

On the offical F1 site the race is for November.
Can't reserve any rooms right now...I tried everything I know including calling a few hotels.
