F1 in the States: Good or Bad?

It's a fact that Formula One racing is coming to the United States next year, with an event in Austin, Texas. I heard many comments online that it is a bad decision, but I'll try to name some good points along with the bad. Here goes.

Pros:

• It seems that Hollywood is taking an increased interest in F1 after the success of the Senna documentary. Bringing the sport closer to the limelight is bound to be beneficial to its exposure in the US.
• F1 already had an event in the US in the past, but was removed due to the dwindling interest from the local public. The track was mainly held to blame, however this time the track is being built with hosting the F1 event in mind.
• The track will be unique for F1, and by offering unique challenges and overtaking opportunities will perhaps be the track of the future for this sport.
• The track construction and maintenance will also be one of the ways to increase US jobs.

Cons:

• The US race is currently set on the same date as the NASCAR finale, making potential race fanatics that may be interested in the new sport think twice about attending the event. The race date has already been moved once, so maybe it will not be too much of a problem to shift it by at least one week.
• It also happens to be the penultimate race of the season, and if Red Bull or some other team keep getting the fun out of F1 by winning all the races, there will be no fun left at the end of the season to take to America.
• There are no US drivers currently racing in F1. Just one participant will make the interest rise, because people will want to cheer the driver that would be representing their nation against the world.
• The track is not ready yet. Let's hope it will be this time next year.

As you can see, it's a mixed bag of problems and opportunities. What is your opinion?
