Having lived in Cleveland for 4 years, believe me, what you're experiencing is NOT winter weather from Cleveland. Cleveland winter weather is much, much worse.

The plus side of covid was airports were empty as were my planes and the Hyatt at the airport was a bargain. I have to say Austin traffic is getting worse. The weekday AM traffic from little weberville into Austin was as bad as any traffic I have seen in LosAngeles. Thankfully I was going the other direction.

And the agent for sales is Mark Martin, one of the founders of W2W WRL team.

Hope it warms up soon for you guys. Not used to seeing week long stretches of sub freezing weather down there. Good luck, and I’ll take you up on that right seating as soon as I can get there.
If I can string a few events together at COTA, maybe I’ll make the trek this season.

What is the local PCA region at COTA?
Maybe put one of theirs and a Chin (or someone’s) event back to back and make it worth the 3500 mile round trip tow. (I think that’s the distance). I have some friends in Austin I could crash with as well.
I’m local and running MVP next weekend then Club Race the following weekend. So you could have had back to back weekends.

Edge Addicts and Drivers Edge both also run out at CoTA semi regularly

I believe there is a Chine event at Eagles Canyon and a Chumpcar race at Harris Hill Raceway the week after that.

lots of quality track time this time of the year.
most times Mother Nature cooperates.

Thanks Hokie.
As much as I'd love to, I can't do back to back weekends.
Would have to be back to back "events". (Like Fri, Sat, and Sun followed by another event Monday/Tuesday).
I'll do my research and see what I can out together.
Thanks for the help....

Did the first Club race at COTA.

The money poured into the place was evident.

But the track... Built for F-1. Which works for F-1.
But four hairpins in a low horsepower car...
