It's amazing how little attention our annual F1 race gets locally. Anyway, I'm glad it's sold out for race day next Sunday.
Apparently COTA is building an amusement park by the track. I'm not sure how big it will be, but the Statesman is reporting that the "famous" couch potatoes are being moved from a local furniture store to the site of the COTA amusement park.
From the article:
Quote:
This summer, the owners of the furniture store Austin's Couch Potatoes announced that their statues of three giant potatoes — which rest on a huge couch that's an unmissable sight from Interstate 35, sitting in front of the company's North Austin store — needed a new home by the end of the year. The owners on Friday revealed the potatoes' destination: COTALAND, an amusement park planned for Circuit of the Americas.
The move began Friday, and a representative for the potatoes said they'll be in place for photo opps at the racetrack in time for the Formula One U.S. Grand Prix on Oct. 22-24.
