Nice report! Looks like a lot of fun, except for the traffic. 70 seems like a lot to have out all at once.

yup. 70 cars, 2 mile 10 turn race track. That's pushing it IMO. It was still fun as hell. By sunday we only had 59 cars start the race. Several wrecks, and blown engines ect.. Even 59 seemed crowed to me. I was just glad to get through the weekend without any body damage lol.

Dude, that was awesome! What was that stupid black car (nissan sentra/bmw)? It looked fast on the straights but seemed to hold you back in the corners.

Ha, I drove 650 miles to this event.

Motorsport Ranch has 2 texas tracks I think. Texas World Speedway. Hallet Motorsport Ranch. That should be 4 within your "region"

There is an old blimp base south of houston (clear lake area?) that has a road course set up. I know the motorcycle guys like it there.
