A little bird told me Eagles Canyon is "on track". Wasn't it reported the facility would be ready before the end of the year?

Juan, you could always race with NASA down here. I planned on doing some races with them but they just didn't fit into my schedule. SCCA is not very in the DFW area but I hear there is a deal in the works for a race at MSR. It's a start.

Seeing how there are lots of locals in this thread who have probably driven and/or raced at MSR, I wondered if ya'll had any tips(or constructive criticism) for me? http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...54470733&q=msr

Mount the camera a bit higher so we can see the track better.
Slightly non agressive entering the turns in some of them and on the outlet.
Overall a very good flick.
I'm sure your run is better than one I would turn.

Yea, I noticed I mounted the camera a bit low on that session. I'll keep an eye on that next time.
What exactly do you mean "Slightly non agressive entering the turns in some of them and on the outlet"? Like I'm not pushing it enough? Which turns?

Greg, that was f’n great!!!!! My only advice would be that you are taking it too easy in the “toilet bowl “. You are using the tight line (same as me) but you are keeping just a little too tight. I’m on the verge of the rumble strip on the left at exit. Otherwise, I really don’t see anything else. Again, looks pretty damn good. Are you on r compounds yet? Was that Dave Scott in front of you?

On toilet bowl, do you mean I need to focus on the 2nd apex less and track out more?

Greg's driving is much improved over when I rode with him in early August at the BMW Club event. I agree with you about the toilet bowl exit: ya gotta open your steering way-early & be right at the rumble strip on the left side at exit to get a solid launch down that short straight.

Nothing else to do when my 3 month old daughter is on my lap while I am at my desk!

Yes. And, if you get the 3 gauge panel, please add these two as well:
