A few weeks ago, Formula One announced that it would have a race on a temporary street-circuit in New Jersey, along the Hudson River. Many people think this is a good move for the country, yet others believe this is going to be one more way to put us even more in debt.

In my opinion, Formula One coming back to the states is a great move. Races like these bring hundreds of thousands of fans that will spend millions of dollars during that week. When Formula One raced in Indianapolis, their fans were said to spend more money than fans that came to watch the Indianapolis 500 mile race. Also, being so close to a large city, this is going to be one of the most "Green" races in history. People will be walking to the temporary track across from Manhattan and will be taking Ferry boat rides across the Hudson River. Races like these are ones that show who the true "drivers" are. They also teach the driver a lot about his/her abilities in a racecar. Basically, if the United States turned this opportunity down, they would be stupid. Also, since the decision to have this race in New Jersey in 2012, a permanent race track has been built in Austin, Texas.
