Texas 2017 Schedule

[JMR81]

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.

Hallett from Austin in less 2.5 hours?

As great as Hallett is it's not in our plans this year

Tam, you guys have quite a bit of experience at COTA and your recommendations on how to approach this track are spot on. How would you set up the race schedule? The track is too long for our normal recon lap and four 20 minute races. There was also some discontent with the point system for the Hallett champ race this year. As a mechanic/driver I tend to get tunnel vision most race weekends, you get a better big picture view than I do.

not sure that you can really get around the recon lap. Only makes sense to wave the flag on the front straight. Might go faster if we didnt have to deal with standing starts and people getting run over if their car stalls.

Smart thing to do would be just run the short course for the recon lap. No point going all the way to the top end and down the back straight other than wasting time.
