Old Bruton is at it again. He's upgrading Sears Point to full FIA standards. He is also building a 3/4 to 1.5 mile banked oval on the grounds. Maybe there will be a US Grand Prix sometime soon. -- Todo Es Justo En Amor Y Carreras. The Rusty Wallace Miller Lite stock car, awsome when opened up! GO#2!

I would prefer to have a US Grand Prix at Elkhart Lake or Watkins Glen. Oh well. Can't have everything :)
Alright, yet another 1.5 mile quad oval to match his other tracks in C***te, Texas, and Atlanta (November). I wonder how he will turn Bristol into a tri oval?:) A US Grand Prix would be cool!. Later...John

: I would prefer to have a US Grand Prix at Elkhart Lake or Watkins Glen. Oh : well. : Can't have everything :) ...slightly off topic, but I'll contribute. F1 back at the Glen or at Road America would be fantastic. Big catch though, those tracks aren't up to FIA snuff. Not only in terms of cosmetics, permanent garages, but also in safety standards. Never been to the Glen, but I've been to Elkhart. As a spectator you can get REAL close to the majority of the corners, with only a mere low slung steel gardrail and a token picket fence seperating you from the track. Going to get flamed for this, but I do like the intimacy that it provides. It really is a rush to see drivers work the cars without the screen of a cage. Lately, there have been a few glimmers in the way of possible sites. Homestead is FIA licenced for F1 standards, as is Laguna Seca in certain ways with their recent renovations. Unfortunately I just think that it's a long way off until the States host (better read as pay for) a F1 race. __o _-\<,_ Cosmo Potapoff

Maybe It's not true but I think the last F1 race that was at the Glen they was a accident in witch a driver lost his life. The next year the F1 organisation boycott the track because it was to dangerous for drivers. Imagine turn one with F1 drivers today. If a driver losses the car comming into the turn (ex: Mika Salo ;-] ) he's going to do a heck of an airbone :-) Thanks a lot, Good race at the Brickyard, (Old'Indytrack guy) [===] Go Rubens Barrichello, Jacques Villeneuve, | ! | And all you that thinks that Jacques Villeneuve is |!| from Canada, your right!!
