Anyone going?

A student pilot of mine wants me to help him fly out there to see them next weekend. This is a must-see event for me as I have been following them on TV for years and never been to a race.

Hope to meet up with some other R/Ters out there before the Nats.

Would love to check that out,as I feel that's more like real stock car racing than the bs that is typically held here....
Although I have to admit I was disappointed seeing datsun get in.

Austin supposed to be an amazing facility!
Take lots O pics!

I wanted to BUT wont be home until that Wednesday after.

FYI: If you are flying in fly into the Austin Corporate Airport it is right down 130 from the track less than 10miles. IIRC.

130 is a toll road BUT it is a pay on the fly Toll. Picture of your tag, BILL sent in the mail. I use it quite often going to the Austin Burgstrom Airport, San Marcos or anywhere south of George Town.

That I have no idea. Just like out of state? How do they bill those people? Not all states share their vehicle and driver info.

Texas will bill the rental car company and the rental car company will bill the credit card you have on file.
