    TWS on last leg

    It could be that TWS will be gone as a race track soon. Developers want to put in 1500 homes and if everything is approved they want to start construction in 2015-2016. My brother just read the whole article to me. Very sad.

    Lots of hoops for the developers to jump through, it's not over yet.

    Very true but it will happen sooner or later.

    The first time I went to TWS was in 1972 or 1973 for the Texas Twin 250 (250 miles of NASCAR then 250 miles of Indy cars back to back) and it was way out in the boonies.

    I would say the outcome can't be good for TWS. I bet there is a lot more money in those homes than in a racetrack.

    Sucks to lose an awesome track just for some more houses that could go somewhere else.

    I thought it was an EPA Brownfield site and would take an ungodly amount of money to cleanup?
