    It's not the greatest RACE course. Can be boring. One thing to keep in mind is tires. I suggest the freshest you can bring for safety. There is a reason why Hoosier makes a specific tire for Rovals in the Trans Am sizes for Daytona. Nearly lost a fellow instructor/friend several years back with Texas Driving Experience in a VERY bad accident there. He took two years to learn to walk and talk again...his passenger was killed. They have installed safe barriers since then but I would hate to be one that hits thems...think COTA expensive.
    Ah, fugg it.

    I wonder if the cheap cast wheel most of us run will hold up to this course? I like the idea of the Roval but if it's COTA money (and I was going to spend that kind of money again for a weekend event) I would just run COTA since it's 45 minutes from my house.

    North Texas folks will like the schedule. The Roval looks fun to drive (banking), less fun to race, you get to drive a runway, road course, and oval. I wonder if they will cone us off to bleed some speed going into T1.

    No idea on speed but I’d say a CMC car 150mph or so, track rental price usually dictates Nasa event price

    Pretty sure a CMC car would go back in time if it hit 150mph. Weren't you guys seeing 130-135 at TWS? I think 130 is all they did at the Glen too, right?

    Can CMC cars run wide open around the oval? That video looks scary!
