    Hell everyone is getting on board with this...maybe we'll write Bernie a letter asking him if F1 can run at TWS...with some minor modifications of course. :lol:

    I want to see F1 on the 3.1 Mile Road Course!

    CCW, they would be braking from 220 or 230 to make that right hander between turns 3 and 4? :shock:

    INteresting.

    But if you read the link about the the Austin track, the wording, sentence structure, quotes ... everything sounded as if Monticello was removed and Austin was inserted.

    Now THAT's interesting ...

    Turn out of your subdivision START west, take the sweeper down to hard braking for the right hander over the tracks at SA weave north and blend onto W. Huffsmith take hard left, hard right, hard left, hard right to Kuyendahl turning right and take the high speed left hander down to the launch as you sweep back to S/F....

    Did it in my 89 Thunderbird SC....

    Exactly, but you left out wait for train and do donuts at Burroughs Park.

    Sounds like it might just be up to the highest bidder. :roll:

    Bingo!!! Who can spend $100M on a track and pay Bernie $50M an event?

    Monticello already has a track up and running...has dirt been turned yet in austin let alone a design and development plan moved through all the regulatory entities that ruin that part of texas?

    Pigs may fly soon I guess.
