Enjoy the traffic in Austin. It seems worse than Dallas. I went to UT back in the early 1980s. It was a cool town when I got there, started getting too big by 1985. The FSAE group at UT had a reunion a couple of years back and it was a football weekend and I couldn't find a hotel for less than $200/night, most were $400/night. I'd like to see an F1 race at COTA, but that would be a pricey trip. There is Pro Trans in Waco. I'd try the outer cities like Drippy Springs or visit the Hamilton Pool.
