Absolutely agree with you Nordic, there is very little young talent in Grand-Am, the series relying heavily on aging, well past their prime, sportscar & indycar stars, and a collection of wealthy, weekend warriors. Of the few young guys in series, they are usually a team owners son (as in Wayne Taylor's two boys).
And yes, the USGP in Austin project (I did some digging and a guy named Tavo Hellmund is the chairman of the project) does seem to be coming along well, they've got dirt moving, and the city of Austin seems solidly behind the project. If they pull it off it could be a terrific venue, and Austin is a great city with lots of stuff to see & do. But unfortunately with the way most things F1 related in this country end up, I'll believe it when I see cars turning laps. Just hope the genius who does the scheduling doesn't give them a July date, the FIA seem to have short memories and I doubt many of them remember the Dallas fiasco.
