Damn I wish I would have got a chance to ride with u...... felt obligated to ride with the msr guys cause they were letting me share garage space. Learned a lot from you and it was a pleasure meeting u. Made up some time on Sunday and found that fuel starve u mentioned in 16-18 on only 2 dots missing. Best was 2:49 with traffic. After watching your video I can see where I can make up more time.....can't wait till next year!

COTA costs
I looked at the COTA web site, and all I could find for driving your own car, is $2500 a day. And one of the Houston Z guys did this recently. So, if anyone has any info on this for $375 to $400 , I would like to know more.
Thanks, Chuck I drove the MSR track south of Houston recently, with the guidance of an instructor, and enjoyed it. I do feel there were areas of the track that were not maintained as well as should have been. Coming out of turn 5, there was a strip of fresh asphalt with good size spots, about an inch deep, that had come out. I was concerned about it tearing up my tires.

DE groups that normally charge ~$300 for a weekend at cheaper tracks will end up charging more like ~$1000 for a weekend at COTA. It's not their fault, or COTA's really, it's just a much more expensive facility to run. It's gargantuan in scale and involves a lot more staffing, etc. Also, I'd hold off on hitting a COTA event at all until you've done several at other tracks, for a number of reasons. It's a far more intense and abusive track than most of the other local ones, so you really want to have yourself and your car ready for it in a way that only other track weekends can prepare you for. That and you want to make the most out of your relatively expensive and rare trips there. Quote:

MSR Houston
wstar..... That's good information. I've only had that brief experience on a track at MSR. I went to the DE website and looked at the info for Apr 5&6 at MSR. Maybe I will be able to come out and be a spectator.
