I couldn't agree more. I think Aussie V8 Supercars is one of the the best racing series to watch so much action and great driving, after watching a few races I am def a fan and will be watching more races.

I don't think Bernie is to blame for all the mishaps that the Austin race is having for going forward. The contract was signed and agreed to... they (COTA and Helmut) didn't have the money to pay the fee. That's not really Bernie's problem. Good thing Texas has an account for this sort of thing- which just blows my mind

Bernie basically threw a dark cloud over both the Austin race and the future NJ race. On the one hand, he says he wants to be in the US, on the other hand, he loves to throw intrigue into the equation and cause turmoil amongst the promoters and fans here in the US.
