I think RLM382 need to take it a step further "Your very own Named Corner Worker Station" &"Brick in the Start Finish Line".

I'm thinking that the 951 drivers should all pitch in and pay for the track's complete set of fire extinguishers.

While I hate to see TWS go away, really looking forward to the development of this new track. I'm sure it will be a "drivers" track with the people working on the design.

I will definitely help with that, as I will most likely gain some benefit at some time.

Artist's rendition of the paddock. The plan is for there to be 120 covered parking spots.

I'll need to wait for the artist's rendition of the urinals before I can decide whether this track is an improvement over TWS.

New track looks like it would be fun. Too bad its even a further drive than COTA for me. So it looks like I won't get to experience it.

This really makes you wonder if there was advanced knowledge of the TWS situation prior to going this route. Something like this takes years after all.

There was no prior knowledge at all about the TWS closure. All
Of this is happened since the announcement. It's amazing what a small team of highly motivated people can accomplish in a short amount of time. Still lots to do though. We are not yet close to the finish line.

Does anyone know if this track will accommodate the guys on 2 wheels (and I don't mean the cars with race rubber)?

Awesome, sure hope this becomes reality. Will probably donate to help this along.
