Track in Texas

sexZness · 05-15-2011, 10:22 PM

I've never thought tracking my Z would be a possibility but I'm starting to dig the idea now

So are there any good ones around the DFW area? Or would any of you recommend one over the others (if there are more than one, of course)?

If you do want to track yours, I'd say you should keep those stock 18s for the track, just in case

I wan to track or autox eventually but probably not until I find another car to DD.

Plenty of choices:

The Drivers Edge

Velocity Adventures

Revolution Precision Motorsports School | High Performance Driving School

Grandsport Speedway - Houston, Texas

Harris Hill Road

Have fun!

I ran the 3.1 mile course at MSR Cressen, SW of DFW and was very pleased with the facility, people, and track. +1 for TheDriversEdge.net

That Red Meat and Race Fuel @ MSR sounds tempting, I may have to check that out. Dirt cheap too, but mostly it sounds like a free-for-all, whereas more structured programs will class drivers by experience level and help with some basic coaching, etc.

From the last few times I surveyed the net for HPDE-type stuff, I had pretty much settled on Grandsport Speedway as where I'm likely to go regularly, it seems to be the most reasonably priced setup in the H-town area for someone that wants to do HPDE events on a regular basis (MSR's membership fees are kinda ridiculous, seems more geared for pro/semi-pro types, or people with too much cash to burn). Now I'm just trying to find a good Sunday for my first trip out there (lots of unpredictable travel coming up in the next month or two).
