Default Texas World Speedway

Even though TWS in College Station Texas is over 200 miles away from my home in Dallas, I still consider it my home track. It’s just a few miles from where I grew up and my parents still only live a couple miles away. I started driving this track back in college in 1993. Back then Texas A&M Sports Car Club would corner work for the Porsche Club of America events at the track. Our payment for corner working was one session each day with an instructor. This was a great deal for a broke college student and so I got my start at this track in my old 280Z.
So move ahead 20 years and now I'm the one instructing and now I'm in a 370z. Here are 6 laps in the clockwise direction on the 2.9 mile track. My GPS wasn’t catching the finish line every lap and would group 2 or 3 laps together. My fastest lap was the last lap on this video but I was over driving the car and made several mistakes so I know there is lots more time to be had.
