I heard he was going to some of the meetings about it to see how you could help out I think? They need support, I forget what he said the major road block was.

They needed a sound ordinance pushed through that would let them build the track, I posted the date for the meeting like the morning of or something and then couldn't make it myself, lol. The measure passed though, last I knew they had no major road blocks left to start construction!

Their plan was to setup one of those parking lots with AutoX in mind too, should be an awesome chapel of speed

Probably a year or two depending how much planning has actually been done and how much money they have.

Excited about driving on it but not so much following the build of something cool

Kind of like the ORP build last year. It was cool to see pics of the track come alive.
