    Do I read this deal correctly the event is being held at LoneStar Park?
    Are they going to be running on the infield road course?

    Wow, that video makes it look unimpressive. I could just rent an Elise for $300 and bring that to an event.

    Or maybe Joseph will let you co drive. That event looks like less fun than an autoX

    The checkered flag at every turn is confusing. How would you know when you're done?

    JoJo won't let him codrive. Last time he let me codrive, he made me prepay $600 on paypal, then put a helmet with a really dark shield on me and strapped me into a race seat. After a while I finally realized I was holding an xbox steering wheel and the engine sound was coming from a tape player. Lame!
