Why do I feel less than comfortable with your suggestion?

So this isn't following the Country Club business model?

That has to be the only track under planning/construction right now that isn't.

The guys who run Autobahn CC outside Chicago say there are close to 200 in concept, planning, development or construction around the country. They get calls literally every day from developers who want to pump them for info.

Dave, Where do you find this stuff

Big T, It is a CC style model. Initial membership fee with monthly dues. Take a look here:

http://www.eaglescanyon.com/htm/fees.htm

All ya'll are invited to come on down. The door is always open for my Rennlist compadres We are shooting for a CR there. Probably won't make '07 due to the advance planning that it takes but maybe '08. We now have two great tracks within an hour so more events & track time are definitely headed this way.

Missed that. Thanks.

Autobahn has done really well. Are you going to join?

If we come down for the CR, will there be Barbeque?

Uh, YEAH!! And lots of Shiner beer too. Now, that might be a worthwhile side trip after the CR weekend is over. A little booze cruise to Shiner, Texas

It's down in VR's neck of the woods: http://www.shiner.com/about/info.html

And yeah, I'm joining EC. It's about 25 minutes from my office & 30 from the hacienda. Should make for some great, long lunches.

BBQ and Shiner. Great.

Now if Glenn would sing some lonesome cowboy songs while we eat and drank, it would be perfect.

Cool about EC. If they are doing real estate, just build a satelite office over the garage. It'll be a write-off.

All we gotta do is get Glen liquored up & I'm sure he'll sing us a tune or two.

I like the way you're thinkin' T

Larry, don't listen to the Milk Man, I live too far away, probably an hour drive. Jay and Steve, on the other hand, are much closer.

Jay/Steve, if I can talk my way out of going to Austin on Friday, I might wat to join you guys. I need an excuse not to visit the in-laws.

The place is looking great. I'm really looking forward to seeing it in person.

EC ought to be a lot of fun. I just wish it wasn't an additional hour drive for me beyond the time it takes to get to MSR.

As for Glen singing....
