I live in TX and still haven’t had a chance or $$ to go to any of the events at COTA.

If you put a vote out in the state of Texas to become a sovereign nation, I bet it would pass.

Not if some people in Texas had any say about it.

RA is my home track, and I’ll cut anyone who tries to make it F1-able! It’s one of the few tracks left that hasn’t been majorly altered from it’s original layout.

Same with Watkins Glen. Aside from some NASCAR and IndyCar safety mods it’s still pretty much the same place it was in 1971. Except the bathrooms are a lot nicer lol

I think someone in Texas tries this every couple years to get them to leave but it never works

The only reason it doesn’t work is because it would be labeled as illegal for 1 and for 2 might start a 2nd civil war.
Oh and the most important one is #3, they’ve never gotten a statewide ballot initiative. If it was on every single ballot in the state of Texas, I’m sure we’d be at 49 states.

Texas actually voted on it and approved annexation. The people running that place were all americans anyways so it should come to no surprise.

I’ve heard some crazy stories of the infield debauchery at some events at Watkons over the years, lol!

I’ve heard a few from a former Glen track president, the one about a charter bus being stolen from the paddock, ran into The Bog, and promptly burned to the ground is a good one.

Texas isnt part of the US in the way Austin isnt part of Texas lol.
Seriously though, I lived 99% of my life in TX untill recently. I tried to make it to COTA but it never worked out.

Doo eet!
If you are/were a student and have a student ID, you can get a discount on the tickets. Always get general admission. No one says anything if you wanna go to the grandstands later in the race.

Holy shit it was real!

That’s changing. We’re putting a LOT more security in the stands, so if you want to sit up there, you gotta buy a ticket.

ugh! Party pooper!
But if you have a student ID, the price of the ticket for grandstands is very close to the retail priced General Admissions ticket.

Lone Star LeMans is the best event of the year. Single day general admission is $59 right now!
