Dammit. Trolls pick the worst days to come out of the woodwork. Of all days I can't sit camped out in front of the 'puter.

Somebody save me screenshoots if this goes *poof*.

COTA does not lease garage space. I race in Chin, so they lease the track and you are allocated a garage for the weekend. Same with other tracks across the country


HPDE track days are not racing

Chin does HPDE events, not races. Big difference. Good org to get on track with, though.

very odd that he would try this board again after that's exactly what led to the whole initial fiasco

FWIW, the track pics do appear to be from Circuit of the Americas (COTA) outside of Austin.

At least MBUSA is being consistent and trolling us with the same S-Class in his photos:

Rule #1 Dream Car: https://texags.com/forums/46/topics/3079542/2


And then page 1 of this thread:


And the photo of the McLaren from the Rule #1 thread seems to be taken from the same garage as the first post in this thread:

Just read through that thread, wow. You guys should have let him dig this hole a little deeper before filling it in on him. Still a good laugh though.

I think I found the shop. I searched "commercial listings dripping springs tx" and looked at commercial listings until I saw a similar building, then checked Google Maps streetview.

At the time, he was running a GoFundMe for an Aggie that had their family house burnt down.

That Aggie did not know he was running the GoFundMe.

The interior pictures show a significantly higher ceiling than the exterior.

Use the garage door for measurement. Not even close.

According to the CAD listing, the building is owned by Medical Capital Recovery, Inc. and has an Austin PO Box as an address. MCR seems to have purchased the building in July of 2018. According to Linkedin, the President (though not necessarily the owner) of MCR is a lady named Sylvia Rosenbaum who describes MCR as:

Quote:

Medical Capital Recovery is a third party eligibility business that contracts with hospitals to assist uninsured patients apply for government assistance primarily Medicaid. MCR contracts with the hospital to place MCR staff onsite at hospitals to meet with patients when they are admitted to start the eligibility qualification process. MCR is compensated by the hospital and works at no charge to the patient

She claims to have been President since 1992 but has also worked at 2 other companies simultaneously for at least the last 16 years.

In October I picked up a place in Dripping Springs which I'm in the process in turning strictly into my race shop.





IF its true that the building found on google maps and the one I looked up the owner on the CAD site is the same building, you didn't pick it up in October.

Already done. See my post "MFBarnes sock" on outdoor board from yesterday. I wanted to raise the question there before dropping any accusations here on auto board. I'll take credit for outing him this time.

Dang, hope I didn't miss all the fun!!

Let's hear some idling videos from your collection. I'm sure you can come up with some quickly!

So.... definitely not the same building. The walls are taller in the shot looking down. The framework is different.
I don't think the exterior shot is the same building either. In the street view, there are trees closer to the building. Also, if you look chive the trailer, there is a building farther back. None of that is in the posted photo.

I've been scrutinizing the two prefab exterior photos (MFBarnes vs CAD found by poster). I believe they are the same building, just with different perspective. The Google maps photo appears older (see shrubbery and missing driveway under garage door). I also think Google maps photo was taken from further back and up higher which is why you see more background details and street appears closer to building.

But I'm not 100%.

I think it's the same building. In the background you can see a concrete parking pad that is similar to the neighboring building in Google Maps.
