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.  Lips Sealed


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.  Undecided  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!   Cry

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