    Houston sucks, IMHO. Hurricanes, humidity, mosquitos and such. Airports are good which is why my company is located here. Can get to anywhere in the US on a 3 to 3 1/2 hour direct flight. Dallas and Houston have major airline hubs. Austin may involve connections to go on longer trips.

    But don't let me discourage you. Ask Todd if he'd move back to Houston from Beaumont.

    Personally, I'd rather be in North Texas.

    An occasional long drive to a track should not keep you from finding the best place to live everyday.

    Camaro, Mustang, doesn't matter to me, I'll race it.

    No racing there yet. All membership driven. The guys running the place have been very cool. Here is a lap from a few weeks ago.

    Houston's AWESOME!!! I'd move there in a heartbeat!
    No major airports in Beaumont, so just another reason not to come here.
    Like Liebbe says, decide what you want first.
    The 6-10 track days aren't worth trying to find something central in the state.
    Granbury was lookin' pretty cool a few weeks back, I'd consider that country living.

    ...but serious, Houston is the place if you want some land & square footage. Ask Al about garage-mahals. Let's face it, if you're going to be spending most of your time around the homestead, get a great one in Houston.

    If you're more social and party the town...agreed...don't go to Houston and stay around Austin.

    Let us know if you need anything....any reason you're coming on April 2nd and not on April 1st? :lol:

    Cody,

    Corey Rueth and I are both in Austin, we are on the south side of town... Very close to Harris Hill... 15 minutes close!!!

    It's a private member based track, but worth every penny! I spend lots of time there...

    Being on the south end of town we don't have all the traffic the north guys have... I am only 11 miles from downtown Austin, at 7am I can get to 6th and Congress in about 20 minutes... I work with guys that live on the north side and it takes them twice as long to travel half the distance...

    You would fit in better down here as well... ;-)

    Look around in the Manchaca, Buda, Kyle, San Marcos areas...

    Central, north, south Texas...any of it is better than most other places outside of Texas 8)

    Better bring your A game if you're going to race with this group of clowns full time!

    Good that you interloplers noticed that. :P

    BTW... NE Texas is pretty good too. Houston is a bad haul for me, but none are real close or too far.

    The Austin area is still kick-ass! I came here in grade school in the 60's and remember when there was around a hundred thousand people in Austin. From back in the 60's with no traffic to what we have now is why I say traffic is so bad. Good old days and all that crap. South Austin was Bubba land and most of the big money was North. That is no longer true today.
