    track day heaven

    So I just got moved into my new place in Texas and started my new job.

    anyway, I wanted to do a track day soon. I figured everything would be sold out for the next month....nope.

    I'm doing this track on Saturday (yes, you read that correctly...the weekend).

    YouTube - Ride Smart at TWS

    Texas World Speedway.

    And, not to gloat, but it only cost $135....for a fucking Saturday!

    Oh, and BTW, track days open every weekend for the next four weekends (at a bunch of different tracks). 5 tracks within 3 hours....weekend trackday.....alll year....cheap....

    Ya man, welcome to living in a place with multiple track options. Loudon is so expensive because it's the only game in town and is a great facility. Back in NorCal it was like that. You had like 4 or 5 tracks within 4 hours and besides Sear's Point and Laguna, they were all cheap!

    Have fun!

    I'm just shocked...I started to become concerned that I died without knowing it and was now living in some sort of heavenly perfect world.

    wookie,
    A few things on this topic:

    1) I want to hate you for this.
    2) I find I simply can't hate you for anything.
    3) I'm on my way! (so I'm going to need your address)



    I'm very happy for you, bro! (and jealous)

So, all the boston peeps will be coming in and out of your house starting in October thru MAY! it is just painful to type and not to mention think! Well, you will not miss the heating bill in boston this year for sure- that's where our trackdays money is going to.... !

    haha, yeah, 'cause i totally didn't mean having a 12-month riding season, a multitude of tracks to choose from and COL expenses at less than $1K/month.

    Shit, you're right. Rob? I want another track day!!!!
