Shitty. Was really excited for this track. Seems like a bunch of arguing school children, and a fuck ton of wasted money. The thing is Ecclestone can do whatever the hell he wants, and texas must bend over and take it. This Susan Combs is fucking everything up....

No, McCombs is fucking things up. "They" are Circuit of the Americas. Taco Hellmund owns Full Throttle Productions. He is good friends with Ecclestone and holds the F1 contract. COTA tried to screw Tavo out of the deal HE put together. Susan Combs simply has Tavo's back as he is the one that put the deal together with the state.

McCombs and his partners need to decide if they want to fish or cut bait. It has been theirs to lose, and their just pissed that Tavo outsmarted them...

The investors in Ciruit of the Americas are squeezing Hellmund, the key organizer, out of the picture and these are your deep thoughts on the situation:
