Kirk,
you ought to come to the Texas Mile or some other LSR event, put our petty differences behind, and you'll see how much fun it can be. I'll be the first to pull a beer outa the TFA cooler for you.
The Texas Mile at the new venue has had 2 events and both were windy as fuk, up to 25mph+.
Early in the morning wind stays reasonable for an hour or so. They start running at 7am, good on them.
I only made 4 passes in 3 full days bc of the wind. Pussy = me.
When the TFA flags start snappin', i sit with Fred, getting his advice on Geritol & Depends & Scooter Chairs & such, that man sure knows what he is talking about.
The surface? Opinions vary.
I find it fine, w-a-y better than Maxton, albeit with a couple bumps.
