I just can't do 4 days of driving to get there and back. .

You could sightsee. Austin has a lot of cool places and maybe sightsee on the way back to California? Im thinking about doing a road trip to California in August. Would love to check out the tracks there.

I looked online and it looks like it's around $2,800 enclosed round trip for 4 cars. That might just be doable for a bucket list item. .

Anyone wanna share a garage in November? I won't be able to go in May as I'm running in my first race with WRL at TWS.

Did anyone attend Austin Schnellfest last weekend? I wanted to sign up, but could only get out for 1 day due to other commitments. Sign up was 2 day min so decided not to.
I did drive past on Saturday just to check out the scene. Looking at the run groups, it looked crowded as hell. A lot more cars on track than TX Trifeca events. I wanted to sign up for the Nov event, but would like feedback from anyone on the forum who attended this event before I do so. Did it fee crowded out there? From what I saw there was a lot of traffic and hold ups. I normally run the intermediate group if that makes any difference. Thanks. |

I'm willing to be those run groups were packed. Unfortunately, COTA is bucket list oriented. Not HPDE. While you could get some good fun driving in even with packed run groups...probably going to be a rare thing if it ever happens at COTA. Once, I drove 3.1mi course at Cresson with 40 cars. It was freakin' AWESOME! Everyone played nice and traffic was super smooth.

We used to have small fields at club races. So NASA was the host org and decided to split start their American Iron (Mustang/Camero/etc full race cars) with BMW CCA Club Racing. Something happened and the field swelled. We had 60 cars on Buttonwillow with full back straight and then using the sweeper instead of star mazda. Ho-lee-sheeet! Mayhem ensued (but no contact). I got passed by a mustang and then a camero through the esses (I was running an '87 325iS in K-stock at the time). They just went on the dirt to get around! Crazy fun but mentally all-encompassing.

Austin Schnell Fest - November 17-19, 2017
http://austinschnellfest.clubregistration.net/ Looks like $945 for 3 days, not bad. Last November was a blast and I plan to be there again this year.
