I had dinner with David and Linda at Mont Tremblant in April. Very nice people. I like their approach with the track. You guys in Texas will be really happy with it when it opens.

Haven't had the pleasure of meeting Linda yet but have had lunch w/David a few times. Great guy with a very sharp business mind. I'm sure the track will be exceptional when completed. I can't wait!

Andrei, you bought a Cayman S ? Have you signed up for Rennsport yet? What is Lee going to say ? Now I know why you asked about trailer! We are already planning on heading to Texas this winter to visit David , Linda and their track new track. Looks like a great layout!

Cayenne S, unfortunately not a Cayman S. I don't want to find out what would happen to Lee if I get a non-BMW track car.

Sorry, I guess I thought it was typo. So you bought a Porsche to pull a trailer carrying a BMW track car. Now I understand.

That was quick Dave! Steve's first post was definitely worthwhile! We are going to go check it out Friday. Track surface should be fully paved by mid-next week.

Just ask for a guy named George. He posts here as "George A", and he & his wife LOVE having surprise overnight guests...
