The best concrete site available in our area, with a surface similar to Lincoln. From the TAMSSC website (I changed the dates to reflect the latest info...more to come):

So this event is on 17th-18th. At the end of the first post it says the next one will be on the 17th-18th. ???

I copied it from their website for the 2nd event earlier this month...

And, YES! I completely intend on practicing on Saturday, and running the TX Region event on Sunday...

[Steve E]

Sharon & I will be there Saturday to scrub in some tires.

Stan & I are planning on Saturday (as long as work doesn't get in the way).

There's an interesting thread on FB about the practice. Apparently the A&M group run events a bit differently than the typical events we're all used to.

The good news is that Andy Hollis will be setting up a separate small course (no timer) so folks can get a feel/tune for the similar Nationals site surface.

[BMcCann]

I saw that thread. Mad props to Andy for setting up. I trust his intimate knowledge of national courses!

First time going to CS...My map says to get off of 45 at Texas OSR to get to TX-21. Is going through Waco a faster way?

[EricJ]

To College Station I take the I-45, Texas OSR, route after trying to come from Waco to Hillsboro at 8pm on a Sunday night (stop an go traffic for what seemed like 15 miles). When they finish the construction I-35 may be better, or may be not. Texas OSR is very rough, so be prepared to slow down.

[OZMDD]

Yep, 45 to OSR takes you right to it, much better than 35
