didn't somebody have a thread about F1 races in Banana Republics...????

and as I said in vintage, there might finally be a reason to go back and visit Texas.

It will be great if the build it and use the hill section and get some really good grade changes.. I'm thinking Spa Francorchamps.
A really nice crest the hill, flat out and try and find the fortitude to keep your foot in it grade change into sweeping corner.

Its a public road and belongs as much to you as it does to him

He thought it was ok to peddle down the middle of the lane on a back road with an Infiniti SUV tailing him with its flashers, there was a lot of regular traffic building up behind us. Most of us went WOT passed him and his crew as soon as the lane opened up, I'm sure the smell of gasoline and exhaust made him feel special.
I think on the same day a supercharged NFR in the lead was passing a few other bikers and had a water bottle thrown at their windshield. I can't stand Austin cyclists they pull the same crap on HWY 360.

Next time you make it down let me know, plenty of great roads and great BBQ.

Glad we can give you a reason to visit us

This track has the potential to be great. Time will tell.

Once they release the sight details I will swing by and take some pictures of the landscape

No definite plans as of the moment. But it will be great meeting a fellow S2KI owner down there and I'll take you up on the offer.

When you do visit the site and take pics, you should start a new thread with the pics. Im looking forward to that

I've been to a few great BBQ places in Lockhart. In fact, BBQ never tasted the same again since I spent a few weeks in Austin a few years ago.

Your fail argument is fail. Tracks like MC and Spa were/are traditional European tracks. What tradition does this place have? None. Next.

Well stated and agree.

Turkey today - good example of a Tilke track with lots of passing and excitement.

To all the non-belivers - they just announced the guy who is paying for this. I think he has the cash to make it happen.
