Could use some advice from the veterans....I now have two race cars (PCA & Chump), but no room at home to keep either (garage is already full).

I've been keeping the PCA car at a public storage unit, but now need more space for the 2nd car.

Obviously I could get a 2nd unit for the 2nd car, but was hoping folks on here might have some creative ideas. I'm in the Dallas area.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Garage space at MotorSport Ranch in Cresson. Storage is a lot more useful when the car is at the track, beats loading a trailer.

I assume that requires a membership, but it's probably time for that anyway....do you know if they garage space can fit 2 cars?

They do, just depends on what they have available at any given time. They stay pretty full but usually have something open.

And yes, you should be a member! If you are racing you really can't beat the convenience of being able to test & tune nearly any weekend you like and without the formality of running in a DE.

I nearly live out there. Literally.

or closer to Plano is the option of a garage at ECR.

He said he had race cars, not off-road vehicles.

Though ECR is a great place if you want to master the 180 degree turn, not so much if you are looking for a high speed sweeper. I enjoy turns 5, 9 , and 10 there, the rest is fairly boring.

Agreed on ECR. Given that I'm in a lower powered car, MSR is my favorite local track. It's a haul from Plano, but it's looking like the better option.

A bit unfair in my opinion Rob. True it's not Hallett or TWS. I agree it needs a sweeper, but 4-5 is entertaining, and I think 7-8-9-10 is pretty good too. It's just the repetitive nature of 3,6, and 11 that detract from the track. The surface seemed to be a bit better to me last time I raced it.

Any track is a good track and I am thankful for its existence. But I think I've been to about 15 tracks or so and ECR ranks dead last with me, both in terms of layout and in terms of racing surface. And the rear of my race hauler bottoms out every time I have to descend the hill to leave the track! My rear storage doors have been destroyed!!

On the otherhand I love the people there, they are very accomodating with great customer service. Maggie and the team do a wonderful job with everything.
