There goes the neighborhood.

The only problem I have with that is that I'll be getting passed by everyone INCLUDING the Specbox guys.

How does camping 'on' the track work? Where do they allow to camp? Is there any charge?

call rusty at the track. Camping is available and I am not really sure if there is a charge. But during the club race many rv's show up and I have seen tents there.

Please keep in mind gates close and lock at 10pm - no in and out after 10p

Beautiful day here in Houston. I spent the morning washing the Green Hornet, and applying numbers and my Cool Arrow Racing logos. This week the engine and gear oil is getting changed, the passenger seat is coming out, muffler bypasses on, brake flush, and then transponder installation.

Wow...trees....greenery. Everything is brown here due to us being in the worst drought in the country, a mere 200 miles away.

Well, our fastest times are 10+ seconds slower then my old 996 Cup times so.....might not be such a good idea. As a matter of fact, I bet Buckley & a few others in E class will be in the :55s this year so if you were going to bump a group, that might be the one to move.

PS: We are heavier, down 30+ hp & on Toyos instead of Hoosiers over a Euro SC as a point of reference.

They are all to observe the racers in T1 and T15, as an educational experience, since these are probably the 2 most important corners.

Yes, camping is allowed. There is around a $15 charge. You can put up a tent where everyone parks their trailers. That is usually where I am when I stay on the grounds.

There is a test and tune scheduled for Thursday before the club race. There are 14 people currently signed up for it so far. TWS is saying that they need 20 people signed up by this Sunday to make it happen for sure. (I'm not sure how rigid TWS is on the 20 people number). So if you are planning on doing the test and tune now is the time to sign up.....cheers.

Like they can actually forecast accurately further than 10 minutes in advance...
