I am hoping this is not true but beginning to believe that it is. If it is true I hope there is some compelling reason. If not then COTA will never see a dollar of my money from attending or driving any events there.

Wow, I really like the track, but if it's not readily accessible for regulars, I'm not interested. My interest was based purely on the fact that everyone would want to and be able to drive there creating a sort of unifying benchmark track for the country. If it's going to be one of those rarely ever open to public type deals, I'll pass. There are plenty of other great tracks to drive on.
Sooooooooooo, anyone up for the NARRA event two weeks later in College Station? I've already got my heart set on that one as well.

Guys. If the events are cancelled I can get the track at TWS for two or three days and replace this event. Can probably do some work with the promoteres and get a two or even three track deal. But I'm still thinking that COTA does not need this bad press, or the potential lawsuits form not only the promoters but people that signed up and made commitments like the guy here that sold a car to buy a trailer.
Let's hold on this as a group but if it's true then I think some organized phone calls, emails and same to the local press and the Govenors office of economic development which funded over 20 million intot his porject would be the next step. If your in for this then please hold for now pm me and we will try and coordinate only if it's necessary.

Before anyone claims that COTA may be in breach, perhaps familiarizing onesself with the actual contracts signed might be appropriate? Typically, track owners write contracts that essentially let them change or cahcel signed events at any time for any reason. Daytona sure does this...and has done it...without offering refunds to the renting organization. I am sure COTA's contracts are also similarly self-centered.
Let's wait and see what the facts are...

More motivation to bring the SCCA T4 car down for the Majors the following month.
But booooooo on COTA if this really is the case. With only a month to go, I'm sure a lot of people put in for vacation and time off that now will be wasted. I fuggin booked a flight for the wife and everything.

Also +1 on theft if they think they can just cancel and then take someone else's money and ours. There's got to be some theft by conversion or something going on. If they are going to just change their mind, no way they can keep people's money like that. Of course, this IS Texas, so crook businesses get away with more.
I'm over it already, already making plans for other events. They can just give me my money back.

Guys, (a) I am not suggesting that COTA will refuse a refund if they cancel. I am sure they will refund in full; my point was that Daytona changed PBOC's date this past October, at the very last minute, w/o offering a refund, BECAUSE THEIR CONTRACT SAID THEY COULD; and (b) all we have heard from is Drivers Edge...let's wait until we have some FACTS regarding other paid-for events like MVP and DMTD (Drivers Edge was not paid for yet) before we launch into outrage...OK?

I got a email from Mark along with another member that COTA is canceling the MVP event. Same mindset with Dez. I just got a spot for 48 Hours to salvage the weekend. All I care about at this point is getting a refund and moving on....
