possible DE by MVP at F1 track in Texas - COTA
got this email from MVP today (needless to say I said YES to the 3-day version in March 2012):
MVP Track Time - 2013 Circuit of The Americas Track Weekend
Good Day All:
Hopefully the subject line caught your attention. Since you are reading this e-mail, I trust you may be intrigued by the idea of driving on America's newest F1 track in Austin, Texas.
For some time, MVP Track Time has been in conversations with the new US Formula 1 track, Circuit of The Americas (COTA) [http://circuitoftheamericas.com], in Austin, Texas about renting the F1 track for a track weekend. Would you like to drive the same track Alonso, Vettle, Raikkonen and Button will race on in The USA, before they do? It appears I'm not the only one who'd like to drive COTA, as conversations with many attendees at our track events has been positive about the idea of a COTA track event.
The purpose of this e-mail is to determine if the commitment is there from MVP Track Time's clientele. This is a very ambitious committment (After all they spent something along the lines of $250M building COTA) on MVP's behalf and I need to see if we can make this work. Here's the skinny if MVP jumps in to rent Circuit of The Americas.
The track event will probably be a three day weekend event, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but we are inquiring about Saturday & Sunday only as well. (Offer your opinion)
Preliminary dates are March 15-17, 2013 for three days, or March 16-17, 2013 for two days.
Due to the track rental cost we must switch to a four(4) run-group format instead of our usual three run-group format, BUT we will schedule four longer sessions each day for each run group, so we still schedule approximately two hours of track time daily for each run group.
Realistically for each driver, figure $600-$650 if we only go Saturday & Sunday, or $750-$850 if we go Friday-Saturday-Sunday. I'm leaning toward 3 days becuase of my drive from St. Louis.
What MVP needs from each of you is a verbal or e-mailed "Yes" or "No" to determine if we go beyond this e-mail. We are not yet asking for any entry fees or registrations yet, just a pseudo survey to gauge interest. Please take a few minutes to think it over, have the discussion now with your significant other (My wife has already said I can go play in Austin!) and then drop me a Yeah or Nay e-mail at Feffman@MVPTrackTime.com or call me at (314) 249-3770.
Circuit of The Americas, home of The US Grand Prix for the forseeable future, is a unique 3.47 mile track event opportunity so I hope you'll join us to come drive for a long, 3-day weekend at Circuit of The Americas. I look forward to hearing from each of you. Happy Motoring.

no doubt you are correct about PCA being cheaper. PCA will have twice or triple the amount of cars and a whole lot less track time - as per typical PCA DE event.

That email says 2 hours per day, that's the same as a PCA DE event. I do agree that the MVP event will have less cars on track during that time though, so it is worth considering.

Sounds like a great idea.
I would love to try and put a little Canadian contingent together.
Bring girlfriend / maybe kids down.
Is there anything they can do in the area

It is in Austin, Texas!!! Most popular city in the South. I have no idea what kids do - I don't have any (that I know of).

I'm in 
I even have friends ( I think I can stay with as he will probably also go) in Austin. What's a short journey to TX to get a bucket list track. 3 days would be awesome.
