AustinF1 Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 One of our fb followers asked why they don't just hit up the SCCA for experienced volunteer track marshalls like every other road circuit in the U.S. They probably would, except that they pissed off and alienated the SCCA & its members early on.

NickHolt Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 What? COTA managment pissing Texas folks off? No way! I'm a motorhead and I won't set foot on that property until Epstein offers a public, sincere apology to Tavo. And I'm sure there are MANY Texas race fans who have their own reasons for not patronizing COTA. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
