I love the track logo. Track layout looks pretty sweet also. Do they give tracks any elevation changes in Texas?

Lee,
Not much elevation change but some. The Houston track is going to be the sister track to our local haunt:

That's where I am heading tomorrow to spend the weekend instructing & setting up the RSA. Hopefully, it won't rain

By the way, I bought your old back seats from Lee to put in my '90. They were the last parts I needed for my color change from linen to black. Lee was a super guy to deal with. Thanks!

What GREAT news!

We are looking forward to final approval on the construction of Dragon's Ridge just West of Williamsburg in the next few years...man I hope it goes through, we could use another "playground" in this state.

Is anyone a member of one of the Motorsport Ranches? I got the ok from the wife to obtain a membership, but would like a members perspective on benefits. You can shoot me a private message or respond here.

Thanks!

From what I saw on the website, it didn't sound like the track layout was finalized.

That area is pretty flat - I would *think* they'd have to create their own elevation changes. Which I certainly hope they can budget for.

Thanks!
not a member myself but i have a friend who is a member of the original motorsports ranch - he takes his car out there every weekend to run a few sessions, sometimes heads out there after work even. the track time you'll get from being a member at a track club is just enormous
