I'd love to go race on that track!

Here's the post.

I was in Texas this past week on business and was fortunate to arrange a private tour (I have close ties to the owners) of not only on the track, but the entire facility.

The conference rooms, race control, celebratory space, winner's circle, heck, too much to list here...all of it is state of the art.

There are 1000 workers per day (no exaggeration) all collaborating in what will be a bucket list destination to see, let alone someday drive on. Name a piece of construction equipment, it's there.

The pictures posted to date don't convey the monstrosity this facility really is. The elevation going into T1 is incredible. Without the proper down-force they would take flight as the car is definitely light at the top.

Here is some on track footage (at a snail's pace) taken from an iPhone.
There were too many work vehicles on track to make a full lap with the proper line and commentary but figured some footage is better than nothing. We entered mid track so I was lost on what turns we were in being the first time on it.





I'll be at the race and hope to see many of you there!

Thanks, Hobie. I was on my ipad and couldn't figure out how to imbed the video.
