I guess I shouldnt get excited as it'll probably cost a million dollars to get on the track, like COTA.

Guess it will have to be Will Faulez if this goes through and its a track we end up using.

you guys need to read. ONLY 50 acres and is primarily a Karting track. This will NOT be a race track large enough for NASA.

The one predominate for cars will be wider than the kart track and will connect to a six acre “Performance Pad” similar to what some might refer to as a skid pad or an autocross pad.

The car portion of the complex is even more flexible and adds an element of fast-car-coolness that doesn’t exist as a part of any karting-exclusive facility anywhere else in the world. Some of the car-centric uses will include performance driving schools, car club events, drifting lessons, motorcycle events, small car oval racing, and exotic car laps. Some of the performance patron business will cross over directly from the kart facility, and vice versa. The wider track and/or Performance Pad will be available for rent for manufacturer testing, special events, exhibitions, races, and more.


The article doesn't refute the future President, but if no W2W could you still do DE and TT there?

ON EDIT: I missed the drifting lessons... finally a use for old RA1s and Trip-eights.
