Given this waffling, I am feeling like I should sign up and run in the slow group just to get on track
Yes, the MVP event scheduled for Feb 1-3 sold out.

you can email Mark at MVP and get in the wait list; but I think it's fairly long at this point.

We are trying to get, date is reserved, enough interest to rent TWS on Thursday before MVP. TWS is about 1.5 hr from Austin. Format would be open track 2.9 mile circuit turns 1 thru 15. There is a thread about this on the 997GT3 forum. Maximize your trip with an extra day.

There is a DE at TWS the first weekend in Feb and there should be an open track day on Friday afternoon.

Of course there is the exception, as far as I know Indianapolis does not rent their track except for the MAJOR races.

Yes but it took them a long time to "get it".

According to the DMTD web site, COTA is renting the track to a team for testing on those dates.

Track executive claimed that the dates are not available, and are now reserved for team testing instead.
