Now that we know where Rally 8 is , let's think about rally 9. I will miss the track day but maybe we can make up for that next year. Let's think about planning ahead to rally 9.
My vote back to Austin and let's run the COTA track !! I know it's expensive now but as they get more experience having more groups run there maybe we can swing a deal.

Austin/COTA would be amazing. Many of my partners have run that track and love it. Austin has also grown in last few yrs tremendously. If that is what is decided I would be glad to help in any way I can. My practice is in Austin and I am there regularly for meetings and such..

COTA is nice, but the settled rate at $55k a day is ridiculous. Personally, I don't like to be at a track for any less than 2 days because it's really hard to get any feel at all for a track unless you're there that long. Especially with a big group with large gaps between sessions. At $110k for a two day rental, you could rent Miller Motorsports Park for a week, or most of the race tracks in the US for a month. With the way the values of the cars have risen, and the subsequent decline in interest in even 7/10ths driving, might be a tough sell.

It is a spectacular setting though.
