[the Genral]

While I am looking forward to F1 racing here, it is just one week out of the year and mostly just a weekend event. It will come, create some buzz, and be over. It will never define Austin but may very well be defined by Austin. We have a unique vibe here that visitors pick up on. If this was a one trick pony track I'd be concerned about its future, but as far as the bad start bad finish banter, I predict a multi used, successful venue for years to come. SXSW had a rough start and look at it now.
