Texas Tornado Boot Camp
Edwards announced in August 2010 that he is building a motorcycle training facility on a 20-acre (81,000 m2) plot of land near Lake Conroe. It is going to be a premier training facility for those new to racing, motorcycle enthusiasts, as well as professionals looking to polish up on their skills. In addition to the normal training classes and track time Edwards is offering the "Colin Edwards Experience". This will give participants the opportunity to spend four days with Edwards. This will include Classroom time, track time, and hanging out with Edwards racing RC cars, and playing paintball with the man himself.
The camp is slated to open in February 2011 and it's been noted that reservations will begin soon.

Famous quotes containing the words texas, tornado, boot and/or camp:
“Fifty million Frenchmen can’t be wrong.”
—Anonymous. Popular saying.
Dating from World War I—when it was used by U.S. soldiers—or before, the saying was associated with nightclub hostess Texas Quinan in the 1920s. It was the title of a song recorded by Sophie Tucker in 1927, and of a Cole Porter musical in 1929.
“The sumptuous age of stars and images is reduced to a few artificial tornado effects, pathetic fake buildings, and childish tricks which the crowd pretends to be taken in by to avoid feeling too disappointed. Ghost towns, ghost people. The whole place has the same air of obsolescence about it as Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“The best quality tea must have creases like the leathern boot of Tartar horsemen, curl like the dewlap of a mighty bullock, unfold like a mist rising out of a ravine, gleam like a lake touched by a zephyr, and be wet and soft like a fine earth newly swept by rain.”
—Lu Yu (d. 804)
“When the weather is bad as it was yesterday, everybody, almost everybody, feels cross and gloomy. Our thin linen tents—about like a fish seine, the deep mud, the irregular mails, the never to-be-seen paymasters, and “the rest of mankind,” are growled about in “old-soldier” style. But a fine day like today has turned out brightens and cheers us all. We people in camp are merely big children, wayward and changeable.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
