abrungot Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 On Thursday, the Austin City Council approved a lease agreement between Iron Rock Raceway and the Austin Bergstrom International Airport. It'll allow Iron Rock to open its superkart track and country club early next year. Supercarts are small, fast racing vehicles that can go up to speeds of 130 mph. Think extreme go-karts. Iron Rock Raceway will be one of the nation's first karting country clubs and first karting track to be located at an international airport. The groups plan to release more details on Friday. www.news8austin.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrungot Posted August 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 We need to work on getting these guys to THR to build interest in the sport.... :DDDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerx Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Freaking motorsports progress in the ATX...praise be...this is good for all of us in the long run... Josh, I think your idea last week, which has been seconded by many here, to get them to use THR is a good one...that has not been on their radar...they first were intrested in the motorsports ranch type concept for thier little karts...while they weren't interested in THR as a primary, maybe they could hold an oval event or something...couldn't possibly be worse than a three car bandalero race at THR... See, they didn't even have to pass a beer tax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can bet we've had prelim talks about his organization and THR.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
