I’m supposed to get some track time out at Circuit of the Americas on Wed, but this stupid storm might mess that up. If they cancel, they had better refund my $175, that’s all I have to say...

And a shiny internet cookie for Austinites who recognize what corner I’m parked on...

I’ve lived here for seven years and have no idea where the fuck that could be, so it’s obviously not a place.

I’ve lived here for 21 years, and the parking lot is at my work, so yes, it’s a real place.

It’s the same as this corner, but from a different angle:

Nope. North of the river.

What, by half price books? Where is the first photo taken from then, because it doesn’t look even close to the same place?

Yep, the Shell station on the corner is the same one. The first shot is the DPS parking lot...

I’m signed up for the COTA TNiA too, at this point I’m hoping that they reschedule it instead of outright cancelling; however, the chances are slim. My bet is that they have the event and dozens of novices in the afternoon session slid into the wall forcing them to shut down early, there will be no refunds.

The evening session will have lead-follow/full course yellow for all the novice sessions, for the first intermediate session, and 2-3 laps of the advanced session. Many spins will be had and the event will be slow, behind schedule, and a bit painful.

They should probably mention that if you hit the Armco, you have to pay for it (and it isn’t cheap).

Unless Harvey moves east instead of north, then it might clear up.

I had a trackday yesterday at MSR-C and the forecast was clear; however, I only got one drying session and one dry session out of five.
