    Sounds great....but I have learned to not get excited about new tracks.

    GunterRing went down in flames and I assume the F1 track in Waco did as well.

    What F1 track in Waco? Are you talking about Boundless? That was supposed to be near Ennis next to the Motorplex.

    sounds uber expensive

    Country Club pleasures including a clubhouse, pool and fine dining

    ....

    • Fitness center

    • Equestrian center with stables, tack room and grooming facilities

    • Horseback riding and walking trails

    • Kart track

    • Gun club

    Disneyland for rich guys.

    is it for real? this is on their site too:

    "Groundbreaking ceremony, Tuesday, July 11, 2006 at 11 a.m. "

    quick, someone run out there and check for used gold painted shovels, ribbons, and empty Dom Perignon bottles

    I cannot see me on that track until 2-3 years after it opens and they start to let other clubs rent it because they have burned through the initial investment.
    What was your takeaway?

    The building manager here at the studio lives near there.
    He said it was near the community of Hiram.
    They are moving dirt around now.

    It all depends on who rents it and the fees THAY charge. If NASA, or TDE, or someone line that puts it on the schedule, I'll try it out.

    When MSRC first opened I do not think THEY were looking at offering weekends to other clubs, at least not as many as they do now. They needed the $ so they had to do it.
    What was your takeaway?

    MSR-Houston seems to have done it right out of the gate. Either way, it sounds like someone is paying to move dirt which is farther than most of the recent tracks have gotten IMHO.
