My son and I went out to the track yesterday. Looks like it will be done but its not going to be pretty.  Give the area a few years though and it be a lot better. Right now, it's in the not-so-nice area of Austin.  :-X


it'll be all hotels and entertainment within the next two years.

they've got a good year-round schedule of events for 2013 and on.

I'm sure!  Not too much out that way except shacks..literally.  You've seen the area D.  :-\  Hopefully, those folks made bank on their properties!

Shouldn't be long for all that to go up around the track!

I wanted my wife to apply since they are/were hiring HR but she never did.  Back stage passes would've been nice!   :'(

Old saying, "The only ship that won't sail is a partnership."
"Live like no one else now, so that you can live like no one else tomorrow."

"Wealth is more often the result of a lifestyle of hard work, perseverance, planning, and, most of all, self discipline.”

"Helping poor and suffering people is compassion. Voting for our government to use guns to give money to help poor and suffering people is immoral self-righteous bullying laziness."

Just realized that the race is scheduled the same weekend as the BP MS150  :-X  There'll be 10,000+ bicyclists converging on Austin from Houston that Sat and Sun.
