It's the packing and unpacking thing. We are a lazy group.

We'll be lucky if the Greek and El Matador get up early enough to make the first two sessions.

Never mind unloading and loading 4 cars in one day.

We can unload the afternoon before at TWS then there is the diner, and then the track, and we can caravan up to COTA. Live a little.

TWS is rapidly becoming my favorite "local" track. It's 2 hours from my house in north Austin, but I almost never miss an opportunity to drive/race there. It's fun in just about any car. A stock 996 will hit 130-ish and turn a 2:05-ish lap. A GT3 will do 145 or more and probably be in the 1:55 range. I did almost 160 in a Z06 just taking it easy (sort of *GRIN*). The slower sections are a lot of fun, and the flow of the course is a lot better than it looks. A well prepared 44 Spec or SPBOX will turn a 2 minute lap with some practice (and maybe a nice tailwind). Veloce Raptor knows the track probably better than anyone in Austin. Maybe only a few people in Houston know it better, but probably not. He can definitely tell you how much fun it is. I've done dozens of laps just chasing him. Each one more fun than the last.

50/50 the Eurotwins actually make it on the RV. I sense an alarm clock malfunction and one of them ends up flying.

You might pretty much have the RV to yourself considering who probably won't make it on the RV.

it always looked pretty fun to me watching videos, but now that I have looked closely, it looks like a ton of fun! Great hp track with lots of momentum turns. Will be a decent litmus test for cota.

Two fresh sets. One on the car and one on the set of extra wheels the Greek likes to loan me for these trips.
