Just to be very clear- I do NOT want a lawsuit. I DO want the race to happen in Austin. Plain and simple for anyone who did not understand or who thinks I want to sue. Having an international caliber track with F1 and other racing here in Austin is good for everyone. Mr Ecclestone and Mr. Epstein need to arrive at some sort of compromise in a civil and timely matter, and Mr. Hellmund should be congratulated and compensated for his role in bringing this project to Austin. If all the parties could put greed and personal gain aside, they would all come out of this looking better than they do now with the constant bickering and public put downs. Working together they can all come out looking like heroes. This lawsuit is not about personal gain. If the parties involved want to air their dirty laundry, that’s what lawsuits are all about, and the courts and the public will be able to see who the real villains are if the deal does not go through. I don’t think any of the parties involved want that. Let’s all hope for a speedy and positive resolution, and I look forward to racing in Austin in the near future.

We all want the project back on track with all the key players unscathed. Unfortunately we have little control over the parties involved. I support your stand towards a resolution and hope a lawsuit will not be necessary. There are enough roadblocks to overcome as it is. Don’t be surprised if you get support from the Sierra Club or other anti-F1 entities.

A llawsuit between parties other than FOM, COTA or FTP, would be no more valid than those speculators who jumped ahead a bought property in Manor near the “new Austin Airport” so long ago, only to have Bergstrom AFB given to Austin when the military moved out. That was a gamble just like the stock market. Realize what you have control over and manage that appropriately.
I very much hope the track comes to fruition and I suspect many of us will benefit from it, but if it doesn’t, we have no ground to sue anyone.
