New track in ridesmart lineup

Post by fixxervi6 » Mon Nov 28, 2011 10:14 am

I read over at motodfw that they are adding a track for 2012

http://www.nolamotor.com/

Anyone ever been on it, or know much about it besides the general info on the website?

I'm sure it'll be another out of town trip like the Barber and Hartland trips and if so, I don't believe you can use corner working credits for those trips.

Pretty cool track, wonder if that long straigt doubles as a drag strip.

They finish building it yet? I doubt it will be another out of town trip. Since RS Dave and alot of the instructors are out of Houston, it will probably be treated like a local track.

I doubt it. Dave is home based in Austin, and it's a good 8 hour drive from there.

The NOLA track will be added to the Ridesmart lineup, pending contract issues. They've already given the heads up (including a banner on their website a couple of weeks ago).

Claudia and I were talking about this the other day, and we may try to make it in the Spring. The tentative date that Ridesmart gave was in April, if I remember correctly.
