MSR Houston October 24-25 rumor?

A little birdie said something to me about running the full course at MSR in Houston this October with a few more teams on the grid then last time. Maybe, maybe not???

Yeah the 1.3 mile course is a little too congested with 90+ cars. Makes for too many cautions and not enough green flag racing.

Re: MSR Houston October 24-25 rumor?

Funny that this comes up today, I was thinking about it yesterday morning while working on getting our application done for the Houston race. It would be super fantastic to run the full course, but what are the chances we would/could do it without tire chicanes on the backstraights? Please please pretty please.

It's a definite possibility pending an agreement with the racetrack and a few trial laps to make sure it's still safe. You Texas boys have come out in force every time, so we'd love to make room for more of you.

Sons of STIG will be there... I doubt our creation will be running then. But we'll be there...

400 to 440 cars

Got a quick question about the pit area. Are we able to use the track facilities or should we plan on using our trailer for shelter from the heat and cold?

Re: MSR Houston October 24-25 rumor?

Any word on if this is actually going to happen or not? We need to reserve some time in the wind tunnel and get our rear end gearing sorted out....
