I would not get my hopes very high. There is no way this will happen. The track doesn't come close to meeting the safety requirements and would have to spend way too much to get the needed safety work done. There is no infrastructure to support a F1 was at the track or in the area either. The place was built as a country club but not as a race track. This is a simple plot to build some interest in the place since the club is not doing as well as the owners had hoped. If you get the chance to drive there it is a great track, but not suited for racing.

Not getting my hopes up, but the fact that Bernie Eccelstone got in contact with MMC first seems like a pretty good thing to me. Bernie has been trying to get a NYGP for a few years now, he recently tried Manhattan and Jersey City and had no luck. F1 brings money, so I do not think any upgrades will be much of a problem.
Also this is a quote from another article: "Hermann Tilke, the chief engineer and circuit designer for F1, spent time at MMC and confirmed that our track and surrounding properties, with some expansion and minor track modifications, is an excellent location for a Grand Prix" So is this: "Securing F1 is like winning the Olympics, competition is fierce, and this is not a done deal. While the prospect of F1 at MMC is exciting, we remain focused on our core business: The club and its members" - Ari Strauss (President of MMC)

Not likely. I think they are already at 19 races this year. Thats alot of races already, and many other cities want to come back or start a new GP there. Also, Monticello is awfully close to Montreal, so unless the Canadian GP goes away, I don't see much of a chance for 2 US GP's, would be sick though!
