COTA Family and Friends,

Austin, Jun 28, 2011: First THANK YOU all so much for your support (and for tolerating all of the emails)! I will try to keep this brief.

The City Council vote last week was postponed to THIS WEDNESDAY the 29th at 10AM.

This is the MOMENT OF TRUTH! The show of support last week was incredible but we need even more this Weds! If at all possible, please come show your support in person and sign up in favor of the F1 project and speaking if you so choose.

FACTS:

1,100 jobs and over $4 Billion dollars to the economy over the next 10 years are at risk…and it is at NO cost to the city.

The Major Events Trust Fund is ALL performance based. Every other large city in Texas has benefited from it several times including Houston in April (Final Four) and Dallas in February (Super Bowl).

Austin finally has an event hand delivered to them to be able to participate. We have gone two steps further that no other event has gone. We are putting up all the risk for the city of Austin and we have agreed to the “green” demands that no other sporting facility of any kind on the planet has ever even remotely had to consider.

Also, please if you haven't already, send letters to council members at their addresses below (something as simple as "I support theUS F1 GP in Austin, TX!)

Even if you do not reside in Austin or Texas, please take the time to show your support for the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix project.
