They just wanted to say that they were the first F1 team to drive their car on the Texas circuit.

That's very strange, Lloyd. Isn't that a little hard on the car and engine?

Got the email this week, too. Super excited. It's really cool that they put it next to last. That could be a very important race of the season.

We'll have to get a roll call going for next year once we are able to buy tickets.

I still have a few months before Southwest opens up their schedule. Fly in Thursday and leave on Monday - it leaves some extra time to check out Austin.
