In the past, the pattern seemed to be M club events weren't locked in until maybe a couple of weeks out? I was surprised that you guys planned an entire year out now...I was impressed! But the simple fact is that demand for track time in TX is growing. You'll likely find that prices will go up soon. Especially for time in Mar-Jun and Sep-Nov.

Consider the condition of MSRH. The straights are getting REALLY bumpy. Then the surface off the racing line is getting dicey. It shows when it rains. Carousel is almost like ice. Then the puddling is sooooo bad. They've made some improvement but they'll have to start spending a lot more on repairs.

The drivers edge (has nothing to do with this matter) sells out in the green and blue groups in a matter if days. They've grown from 11 to 15 events per year. NASA, PCA, SCCA, and Chump car are also growing. Not to mention bikes. My analysis is MSRH is giving them the time. Look at TWS' calendar...they are selling quite a few test and tune slots during the week. So there is a LOT more competition for track facilities. Lastly, I think COTA just increases the interest and demand.

I think the MSR Houston should give you a clear reason.

I think there are opportunities for M club to do track days...might have to look at evenings and weekdays and maybe TWS and GSS.
