Best track in TX, I enjoyed it even more than COTA.

I agree. I enjoyed driving on it more than COTA.

It's just sad to see those pics.

And that for half the price of COTA (event fees) ...

Real shame they had to plow it under. The garages weren't fancy like COTA or TMS but they provided shade and were cheap. Lewis and his wife made incredible breakfast tacos too.

Pam and I were just talking about how we miss Lewis’ breakfast tacos the other day. He should have served them for lunch too!

Bummed I never got to race on it. But glad I was able to visit it in 2012 for the PCA Race. That was a great event! And Mr. Globe and Mr. Raptor got me a ride in an instructor's GT3 for a session in the Solo DE group. The track had a great flow to it.
