"Road Course" at TENCAN's?

Hey, TEN and CAN,
I heard form a good source that there is a new "Road Course" going up across the street from your neighborhood. Have you planned any events yet? Have you run it at all? I understand there is nice new pavement with only a couple of chicanes added by the presence of dozers or backhoes or something...
Maybe the Funkana can still be done, after all?
I don't know yet about Sunday.
Cheers!

Hey John,

Haven't had a chance to get on it yet, but it sure is new pavement. It's not suitable for a Funkana though.

We'll let you know when we have had a "test" drive on it!!

Can

Yeah, also known as a new subdivision that is so far just streets, no houses (or traffic). Get out and give it a whirl!!!

So, TEN, it is "just an oval" eh? What is your personal best lap time?
And, if you get busted, just casually drop Tiff's name.....

Speaking of tracks, I have found a really good a way of locating them: flying. I fly around Lafayette a lot and have noticed two different tracks from the air (one to the west and one south west...I didn't note their exact locations at the time because I was rather busy). Once I get my MINI I'm going to go out and try to located them on the ground. Sadly, my method of locating tracks cannot be used by all...need that pesky pilot's license and that is not a terribly easy or cheap thing to get.

OHhhh yes, now I know what you are talking about... I feel stupid... I do after all have to know all of the streets in the damn town!

TenCan, everyone has heard me talk about your Mini so much that they know that I know you, seriously!
