From how bright the headlights are on your rear bumper, looks more like you overbraked & he suddenly was 4' behind you!

March 10-11 Maverick PCA at Eagles Canyon (north of Dallas/Ft Worth) is the only event I know if in that window.

The track in Houston is called MSR Houston.

Thanks, is Eagles Canyon worth the trip?
That is about 5 hours driving from west side of Houston? I'll run it by Izzone. Sounds like a good idea to me.

I am guessing that sounds about right, plug it into a map program. Track is near Decatur.

Between Eagles Canyon at TWS, I would always pick TWS....but you can't be at TWS on the dates in question, unfortunately, since the Lone Star PCA event at TWS begins on the 15th. Eagles Canyon doesn't look like much on paper, but it is a very challenging track due to dramatic elevation changes. It requires precision and control, since there is some danger off track. Like Mosport!
