    I'm very proud of Will for getting the COTA deal done! Even with COTA on the schedule and two dates at TWS we still have to go to MSRH two times? Oh well I can still run six race weekends (my normal number of races per year) and skip MSRH in September.

    Awesome schedule!! COTA will be one for the history books. We just need to be careful to not hit anything owned by COTA because they WILL send you a bill...

    Excellent schedule! COTA is a really cool experience for drivers and spectators alike. My family joined me there for an Edge Addicts track day, they really enjoyed the F1 treatment and having the run of the paddock and garages. Marshall is right about doing damage though, the course is pretty safe with good escape areas, but it is a F1 course.

    I've only run 4-5 laps in a Cars-V when a few of us went out for a Cadillac "V-Lab" day. Lots of fun!!

    I'm not always one of Will's biggest fans, but I'm glad to see he has accomplished getting the schedule out early. I'll hold off on my enthusiasm for COTA until We get a chance to see the final details. I don't imagine it will be inexpensive, but it could also be included in a list of bucket list tracks which would make the cost worthwhile if it's on your list. Hopefully it will attract folks from other regions and we have a large field with great racing. It's definitely a big boy track that changes its rythm and flow in several places. It's not a place you want to be if you don't have 100% confidence in your car. I would definitely reccomend if you haven't driven the track, that if you get an opportunity to spend a day out there in your car take it. Best part of the schedule is our longest drive is only 2:30 min to Austin.

    Who all runs out there? I only know of Edge Addicts and their $500+ for 5 sessions.

    I need to rent a car for COTA. That would be cool.

    Very nice that NASA was finally able to get a date there.

    By far the best bang for the buck is Chin motorsports. Think we had 4 30 min sessions with a 1 hour session for all run groups at the end of the day. They limit the number of run groups and offer a one or two day option. We were there in September and it was only 2 groups all experienced drivers. One of the better run events. We have done 4 or 5 different events at different tracks and always had a great time.
