Good luck! Hopefully weather will cooperate. As warm and humid as today is the DA is pretty bad.

Not sure if some of those are flooded cars still being stored there from Hurricane Harvey and more recently this year Imelda. They had thousands stored there after Harvey.

The Harvey cars all got moved out before Spring Nationals that next year (2018?)

Seems like a lot of cars though

I think there were some there when I went to t track rental last month.

Figure even minimal $10/day for storage-which is less than many lots. and 10,000 cars -better profit than an event!
