I'd like to take this opportunity to note that all proceedings with the  City of Austin have been mutually amicable. The City has been working in  good faith to help the developers move the project along and stay on  schedule. Please let your emails reflect that by sending a positive,  friendly message for F1, it's teams, it's sponsors, and most importantly  it's fans.

[quote]Dear Zoning and Platting Commissioners:

As a strong advocate for bringing Formula 1 racing to Austin, Texas, I  urge you to approve item #4 on the agenda for November 16 (the cut and  fill variance along with the slope variance for the United States Grand  Prix site). City staff and the Environmental Board have recommended  these two variances for the project. The variance requests are  consistent with past requests made throughout Austin. In addition, this  project will serve as a catalyst that has long been needed in the City  of Austin’s Desired Development Zone.

Supporting these variances will bring this project a step closer to  becoming a reality. I am eager for the arrival of Formula 1 in Austin,  Texas, and urge you to support these matters.

Sincerely,

Supporter of the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix (tm) in Austin,  Texas[/quote]Also, pass this along by email or other appropriate message  boards to your friends who are interested. I already have people in  Russia and Latvia sending emails to the commission showing their support  for this project. When they get these emails from all over the world,  it should make a bit of an impression of what a truly global event the  USGP is going to be!!

[B](2) If you're in Austin, Texas, by attending the Zoning & Platting Commission meeting on Tuesday, November 16 at 6:00pm.[/B]

[B]We need your support for Formula 1 in Austin. Please attend this  meeting and help us show Austin we support approval for the Formula 1  project. Just showing up provides great support and is very meaningful.[/B]

The meeting will be held in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 301 W.  2nd Street. ...Please plan to arrive by 5:45 in order to sign up in  favor of item #4. You may also sign up to speak in favor of the item at  this time. Garage parking tickets can be validated inside City Hall.

See you there![/quote][URL]http://forum.planet-f1.com/index.php?t=msg&goto=2596191&#msg_2596191[/URL]
