I am very skeptical of road tracks inside of ovals, after boring Homestead a
couple of years ago. I'm also skeptical of Texas -- no people except for Dubya,
nothing but sky and grass, and me with more hat and boots than cattle.
Now for the first time in my life, I was all wrong. Great fun. The rest of you
FOT's should give this a try. It's not even a bad trip -- I'm learning (in
retirement, ahem) that a person can get almost anywhere in the USA in two days.
Small price to pay for the enjoyment at Texas World and especially for the
hospitality from the racers and officials.
When is that first race next year? Do I have to move up the completion date for
#59?
