from downtown, just southeast of the airport.
Should put the infrastructure to the acid test.

The MS150 route into Austin for Sunday takes it from Bastrop into downtown; 9 miles North of the track. It effectively forces anyone coming from Houston to use 290 or I10 since the scenic route will be clogged with bicycles and all of the support vehicles. Plus anyone with notions of staying in Bastrop instead of Austin will have a hell of a time getting out of there Sunday morning.
The main impact will be everyone trying to get out of Austin Sunday afternoon/evening.
Just a heads up.

Still...that's probably better than trying to get out of Monterey after the GP race.

I'm sure that's comparable to Mugello. It seems like it took us 3 days to get out of there!

Yeah, but in that case you're in *Mugello*...just grab a bottle of wine and hang out.

Unfortunately, I missed the fun run around COTA yesterday. My friend got to go with his son though. I can't post the pic he sent since Im on my phone but that elevation coming into turn one is a lot higher than it looks when youre actually on the track and looking back down at the start/finish line.

Seems like I blew thru Austin using the 290/I-35 route and experienced no traffic.

I'm about halfway thru the race. The track is really nice. I hope they make the grandstands and other things nicer. The place looks a little flat compared to some other tracks.

...for example?
come out here and walk the thing (like i have for the last four days) and you'll likely feel different.
