    no, not really, i said many pages ago that i would have lost money with how much they had gotten done on the project, i also said it looked like it went off quite well on TV. much better than the first cup race we had here back in '97.
    i've been wrong before, and will be wrong many times later. This just happens to involve the profession i've been involved with for over 25 years. now the next bet is, how long will this race continue to happen. F1 in the US hasn't been given much of a fair chance other than Indy, and even that only lasted 6 or so years, till the hullman family disowned tony george for the amount of money pissed away on the events.

    Reminds me of someone I work with...I can't stand the son of a bitch. Worse than a fucking woman on her period, every damn day.

    Wow..... Self appointed asshole then? OR, just self doubting dick that likes to ensure he's right? I have NO problem with the truth. Matter of fact, I rather enjoy it. Like I enjoy math, or logic. However, I like to have a good time too and do not look to intentionally bring others down, just to feel better about myself. Just like that passive aggressive remark bolded above. You're implying I'm one of those people. I know I'm not and I'm good w/ that. Then again, I don't pretend to know it all nor do I feel the need to prove it, either way. All this time I was REALLY hoping you'd bring some real tech but all I've ever seen you do is bitch and belly ache about this, or that, or some other thing....

    Yet I digress. Back on topic, my opinion remains the same. I'm glad the US GP was a successful event. YMMV, I enjoyed it immensely and am DAMN glad, and proud, to see F1 back in the US.

    seriously had the best time ever. great race, great weekened.

    financially i completely agree with grape, i think they spent so much, especially on transportation to make this thing run smooth.

    i cant even begin to tell you how amazing my general admission seats were so i'll post pictures tomorrow or something, gonna go downtown now.

    looked as if they all did a great job, no problems that i know of with the event, other than they spent 1 billion to gross, maybe 5 million lol.
