Toby, it was a pleasure meeting you. I really want to thank Steve and Jay for giving us the early preview. Amazing......
I'm just disappointed I overheated the brakes on the truck. I wanted to do more laps!!!
Kevin, my first guess would be in the mid 40's. Glen may be in 30's.

Kevin,
I don't know but we are going to be flying in a couple of spots
Lots of blind stuff & some off camber as well. Let me know when you are coming up here again so I can get you out there to check it out!

Greg, I was using Hawk HPS's!!! I guess it takes more to stop 5600lbs?!?! You are right, all I need are the big red's and some dubs. Although it would look a little strange for a 4x4. BTW, I still can't get the smile off my face. I can't wait to drive it in my car. Hope to see you on the track soon (this one of course).

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.

I could see over 200 in some sort of development stage. Not including the RR, MSR or Eagle's Canyon, there have been at least 3 or 4 other attempts for a road race course in the DFW area. Some had a rough cut, others were on paper.
Private tracks will get real popular when the masses ban gas-engines and yellow air cars rule the road.

Just got back from a quick trip out to EC. Track surface is now fully paved 3 lanes wide! Next is the curbing, pit lane, parking, etc. Talked to David & he thinks first real event will be mid-late Feb., ballpark.

I must be a total idiot. I drove out there last Monday and could not find it. Then again, I didn't have the address with me (work truck, figured why not, go for a look)
I did send an e-mail to Linda about doing any help I could during/after opening, on a volunteer basis just to be involved. I'll go back out there in the next few weeks to introduce myself and check the place out.
Hope everyone has had a good weekend.
