Since the opening of the track in Elroy, Texas (Suburb of Austin, TX). My self and a few of my good friends have been coming to support motorcycle racing at it’s best. I consider myself lucky to have such a wonderful venue so close to my home in San Antonio, TX that we can just ride up to COTA (The Circuit of the Americas) to partake.
My good buddy Javier was chosen to be a track marshal. With his stature and build, you would want him helping you get your strayed bike back on the track. He really enjoyed himself. Shared that there were volunteers that came from all corners of the US. And a few from abroad. Would like to help out at one of these races either for MotoGP or MotoAmerica one of these days.
My group of friends and I have really enjoyed sitting in Turn 15, Section 15 for the last couple of years. You can really enjoy some really good battles from there. Plus it’s close to the eats/drinks, entrance and the retail stuff.
I was lucky enough to meet and get an autograph from Pol Espargaro. Very friendly fella.
Ideas for next year. This area was teaming with families and their young kids. I have a 3 year old that would love this. My wife, not so much. We will see.
This section was just after the bridge leading into the Retail area. The smell of the racing fuel and the sound of the racing engines were intoxicating.
Bravo Ducati! Your Ducati Island is one to greatly admire. No demo bikes to ride though. Maybe next year. 🙂
