NickHolt Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Shucks... it was raining when I got to Leal Road so I zipped right on by. Didn't see anything different than on the way down though. I did kinda tip my hat on the way by out of respect for the lady who is in a coma right now.

top_shelf_12 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Man Nick that reminds me how we feel when we're coming up. Our vehicles always seem to veer towards that exit at mile marker 125 1604 to Hwy 16...but it's far too depressing to go by there when it's lying around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 well, she is on life support and we will all continue to figure out how to wake her up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top_shelf_12 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I do find it odd that a city the size of SA couldn't keep one of those two tracks going. Hopefully both will be back. Please don't take that as a knock to anyone involved with either or both tracks, just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braunfels99 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 The track was doing well...Don't believe thats why it shut down.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top_shelf_12 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Car counts did seem good based on results lists. Guess that prime real estate cost probably got I37. SAS is all the infrastructure needs that needed updated. It's just sad. Last time I came up 37 I noticed a lot of oil rigs pretty close to the track wonder if they have eyes on the property. Hope you guys get your playground(s) back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prJracing Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Track is a little far north for the oil activity. Probably thought it would have made a good yard for somebody. I live in Pleasanton, and, it seems like it's slowing down some. Traffic's not quite as bad, a few companies have moved out or gone under. This Eagleford trend goes from southwest to northeast, and looks like most of the work is moving east. And before some people say I don't know the oil industry, been in it one way or the other last 40 years, and I've seen a many booms come and go. Just my 2 cents.

top_shelf_12 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 It's been about six months since traveling up that way but remember seeing some temporary rigs around a 20 mile radius from the track right off 37. I agree about the moving east, went up 181/281 in December to the Austin area and those small towns had a lot of temporary housing and several oil company trucks. I know it's pretty big west of 37 as well. I'm sure that land isn't cheap though being right off the interstate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 I think we should at least go cut the grass and give her a spring cleaning so she looks nice sitting there being bored... Takers? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAPosse Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Looks a lot better than I thought it would. Agreed, after sitting dormant for over a year I expected to see Mother Nature totally taking over. It wouldn't take too much to get it going again (relatively speaking of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Jay....LOL... I would do it if I wasnt racing..
