Even if there was a center with the same shot do you really think that they would play the same?  I mean you've got the surface to worry about and then the actual type of oil will make a BIG difference.

BUMPER...I'm also leaving Saturday for TX, bowling the USBC on Tues / Wed.

The answer to your question is a big fat NO... There are NO centers down here in Corpus that have the nationals shot laid out.  Infact there is only one center in Corpus Christi, that is available to bowl at.  That is Saratoga Lanes.  Currently they are hosting the BJI as well as the 40 Frame game.. A hint for people bowling these two events is to bring EXTREMELY weak equipment, if not plastic.  The BTM tournament is held outside of Corpus at a different local center about 30 minutes away at Sully lanes in Aransas Pass.  Small 16 lane center.  If your looking for open play at Saharatoga I mean Saratoga lanes, i do believe it is a bit expensive... I think it was $4.00 per game.  Hope this helps.

I heard nothing but complaints about how dry the shot was out there....

The shot was playable at Saratoga---Im guessing people were trying to play in, which was not the shot. The shot was out---way out. The shot was fair, outside is just not my game. If you do decide to play in, have fun wasting your money.
