This is a personal website, but I found it looking for pictures of the old Dallas GP. I think it would be great to have a race here since it is so close. http://cdscds.net/Corrective/dallasgp/dallasgp2.htm

I like the idea. I thought I was the only one who tried to design racetracks with local streets. (or airports). Looks like a really fast track.
I doubt they would use that long straight... that turn puts 'em too dang close to the water. If someone misses the turn or has a mechanical problem they'd be way under water before someone could get to 'em for help.
Pretty neat... cut that long straight in half and it would make one helluva track without the water hazard...
IIRC - that lake is only a few feet deep. 5 or 6' is too deep to drive a car through, but not bad.
Still deep enough to kill... Especially if you are unconscious or upside down.

What gives the guy the right to basically "own" this idea? I thought the NAS would possibly be a good AutoX course years ago though I've never been there to check it out. What a tool.
Looks like he hopes his dumb luck on this half baked plan may get him some $$$$. ::Clown::Quote:

Nice!Quote:

If it starts to work out let me know and i would be more then happy to pull some of the strings i have to get vendors and such out!
Just an FYI this entire deal is a pipe dream at best. ;)Quote:
