    I also saw some pics showing that a huge landslide went over the barrier and all over the front straight coming out of t15.

    Now we really can't blame them for taking the easy option by storing flood cars there for $$$ vs trying clean up that mess and barely skate by with the 1.8 no one wants to run.

    I'm sure many of you have seen what has become of TWS but if you haven't, the pictures are pretty amazing. TWS has never been so busy, and there is much sadness...

    It is amazing that this is just one of three sites apparently with all the damaged cars. I wonder how many are actually at TWS.

    yeah Jay sent me a youtube video. I have heard the dragstrip in Baytown is another place-didn't know there were three. I wondered how/who is keeping track of all of them. Then how/when they would be auctioned off. Wonder if they would try to do it onsite instead of spending hundred grands on towing.

    If $8 per car per day is true, they are printing money housing these cars!

    Yeah it looks slick.

    There are still some "gotcha" costs on the c5 like trying to rebuild that transaxle and stuff like that, but great class overall.
