Spectators will not be blasted out of the park by loud engines as the park plans to limit the noise level to 105 decibels to "make it a place that people would live," McBain said.
Just curious, how does he plan to pull this one off? I don't know a whole lot about racing, but don't many race bikes and cars run special exhaust systems that allow freer flowing exhaust, and that there is increased loudness as a byproduct of their function? I would think that a lot of racers would balk at a requirement like this. Maybe it's common at other race venues, I don't know. If someone knows more about it, I'd be interested in learning more about this issue.
And if MotoGP wanted to come, I bet an event waiver wouldn't be a problem.
MotoGP in Cleveland Texas?? Riiiiiiiiiiight.
It went to Qatar! Houston can't be that much worse, right? Ok nevermind that statement.

What will it cost? To hold a membership slot prior to opening, you must register at our online store and use a check or credit card to pay down $300. If you would prefer to pay via check or money order, please contact us via e-mail or telephone.
When we open, you must pay $600 (the balance of your $900, one-time membership fee) and a $1,500 fully refundable damage deposit. To remain an H2R member, you must pay dues of $90/month and you will be required to purchase at least two four-hour sessions per quarter. On weekdays these will cost $100 each ($200/quarter), and on weekends each four-hour session is $150 ($300/quarter).
So, a member who wishes to keep costs to a minimum will pay $2,400 at sign-up ($1,500 of which is fully refundable). After that, annual costs of $1,880 will allow them 32 hours of actual (weekday) track time.
Wow... Are all tracks this expensive?
Why are you guys out east getting all the tracks? We have one in south Austin that has been rumored for about two years. Conventional wisdom says bikes won't run on that one. So its still TWS, Houston, Cresson etc for us.
I guess its just computers and art around here.
