I just registered for the COTA event with SVRA in october
anyone else going to be there? would love to meet up I think it will be a REALLY hard track to learn well with the limited amount of track time given at this event I expect about 4 sessions on track total so many cars and so many run groups I will have to do some you tube surfing before hand. can't wait though! brant |

Got home from the 5 day event in Austin at COTA! Wow, what a fantastic Vintage event.
SVRA completely overflowed the track facilities with Over 400 entrants Pits were spread out in 4 areas: The paddock and Garages, the area outside of turn 13, the area between turns 12 & 13, then parking lot "A" outside of the main grandstands. I attached an annotated map with green rectangles showing where all the cars were pitted. To help explain how big the pits were, Out of all of the 914s that I did photograph, I saw several 914s on track, and even with combing the pits several times, never found their pit area...?? Brant came with two other Colorado entrants (both Super Vees with Type IV power). To pit together, they were in the Main Grand Stands, Parking lot A. The COTA facility is so large they have multiple shuttles running to take you back and forth around to the track. We walked everywhere the 1st day, then gave up and rode the shuttles. Just the walk from Brant's pit area, through tunnel one, then down to the media center where timing was setup was a LONG walk.... Big Place. And to get back to the pit area between turn 12 & 13, where Frank Beck was pitted, was definitely a hike. They also were setting up all of the temporary facilities for F1 so that was interesting to see... Pics are on my camera so I have to download them now so I can post.... |
