Extra track time.

I am signed up for Chin Motorsports event at TWS this weekend coming and just saw the roster today. Only 4 cars in the advanced group.

They have a 3 run group format 30 on 1 hour off rotates all day.

That's like private rental but cost is only 200.00 for the two day event with a 50.00 one time membership fee.

Not affiliated in any way just some great practice time.

If your interested you know what to do.

 

Chin in the east is a really good trackday organization. I hope their new division to the west catches on.

 

You're welcome. This likely a happened because my car is broken . I've got just enough time to get it together before April 17 so I can't go.

Seriously though, $250 for a two day event at TWS is a steal. I've heard good things about Chin and you may be able to "double dip" on the $50 fee if you try for the Chin event at COTA near the end of the year.

Chin is adding a ton of dates and since we travel it will come in handy. But as you say this is a great deal.

 

Chin is a great group to run with. Tons of track time

 

My understanding is that this will be the last event at TWS as they are closing their gates and the land will be developed for a subdivision. (Like there is no place else in Texas to put up a subdivision. ) Can anybody confirm?

Sign up now to be a part of history.

 

Incorrect. TWS will be in full operation at least through the end of 2014 and likely beyond.

 

Partially true. The owner has financial backers now and is in the process of creating a municipal utility district which will then allow him to create a master planned community. TWS is honoring all contracts for 2014. 2015 is uncertain at this point but their plan is for construction to begin in 2016. They will no doubt run the track for as long as possible for the revenue it creates. My guess is that the track will be running well into if not through 2015. After that who knows.

So this event is nowhere close to the last one at TWS, but the end is coming.

Paving paradise and putting in little boxes made of ticky tacky. :-(

 

In any case, it appears my source was incorrect. Thanks for the correction.

 

When I saw this thread, I was going to sign up with Chin and go. Then I found out that it's parent's weekend at Texas A&M, and there are no hotel rooms to be had. Darn!

 

Try Navasota.

 

Navasota's booked, but I'm going anyway. Just gonna warm the engine up a little more before the event.

 

There are trailers at the track as well. Rent one with a buddy and it's not too bad.

There is no real traffic. You could also back up your route until you find someplace.

I'll be there. Red 996TT, #130.
Hit me up, we'll go get some beers.

 

Great see everyone there.
