I got my tickets already and I can't wait! Been an F1 fan for quite a while now and I can't believe that a track AND a Formula One race just dropped into my backyard like that. Super stoked!

Yes. They have recently laid down most of the racetrack's asphalt down and many of the grandstands around the track are going up. They have a facebook page where they post almost weekly pictures of what's going on at the track.
This time last year India was in the same situation and their track progress was actually a little behind where Austin is. This was 2 months before they were suppose to hold their race. Come October they were able to successfully host the Indian Grand Prix.
Our race isn't until the weekend before Thanksgiving.. three months away. Plus its the second to last race of the season. We'll be fine.
