Will you take our money, then close the track and not offer a refund?

Awesome news.

Wish you were closer because I get tired of the 80 mile (each way) drive to SAR and I'll bet your posted distance of 101 miles to Austin is not from the NW corner where I live. However, I definitely want to make it out there and "try out" your track. Hope to see you guys soon.

Dude,

That's like the newbs that ask on public forums where the street racing locations are.

If they are going to be "friendly" on tech inspections, they sure wouldn't admit it here.
