    Shit, they're giving cricket a go. Surely F1 is more exciting than CRICKET!

    Who said anything about it being in the constitution? To me it's just a common sense thing.

    Yes it would and there are plenty of deep pockets already involved on the equity side of COTA that could make it happen.

    COTA generates over $700 million a year in revenue for the city of Austin, a vast majority of which is from the F-1 race. They get a lot more than $25 million a year in taxes from hotels, bars, restaurants and taxis.

    How in the name of fuck do you people have time to play video games... and then hone your skills and be decent?
    For myself, it's having a very narrow focus. Once every 3 to 5 years a game comes out that I really like, and I play it in little bits for a long time. The last one was Skyrim, which I think came out in 2011. This next one will be Star Wars Battlefront, which comes out next week. It'll probably be another few years before there is a game I have to play.

    I was pissed at first... but thinking that if they don't host F1, maybe track days will be more often and cheaper there.

    And churches (any religion) shouldn't get state funding in my opinion. Separation of church and state and all that shit.

    Great question, I thought only kids were good at video games because they don't have a life.
