Here is a bit of info from Roadracingworld.com

Other than that, haven't read any insightful information on the subject.


 


Haven't seen too much info circulating on this test.  Not sure anybody cares.  Fastest lap times, 2:18.7 (Howard) would be useless at this point but I suppose it would be interesting.  Anyway, I did find this link to a bit of a story in Spanish, basically saying the same .... as the RRW post.  Basically says, GP Tech CRT were first "MotoGP" entry to test out COTA.  GP Tech Riders Michael Barns and some Texan squid named Ty Howard, and for APR CRT,  AMA Superbike runner up Blake Young. Both entries are supposedly gonna do all three USGP rounds.  Schwantz was there, as he is a bit of a mentor for Blake Young.  Not sure if his appearance there means a bit of a Valentines Day make up ... was in order between him and COTA ....... executives.  (Curvy texted me he was tempted to go and see test, not sure if he made it).

Im working on trying to sneak into the MotoGP test next month :D


 


You would have had better luck smooching around with these guys.  The HRC test your gonna try to sneak into is gonna have a bunch of snob Euros (prob some who hate Tx coffee & tea).  Good luck with that.
 
you can see some corners from fm812.  also there's some farm land around there with some decent views.  i'll be checking it out for sure.

cool. i've been in touch with a fella in elroy who has access to all the farmland near the track.  One guy built a viewing platform adjacent to it.  hopefully he'll come through.  i'll let you know.  


all the bikers i know will be in the full throws of SXSW. i don't think getting a good view will be much trouble.
