Either way, there's a good group of Z folks going to both, so you can't go wrong.

Yeah but from my understanding everyone will be driving at a predetermined pace not even pushing their cars. I'd rather be actually racing, or even better, drifting.

You need to sign up for a track day somewhere. There will be one going on at TWS when we visit on Sunday. You could check into it then.

Drifting was two weekends ago at the Greyhound track south of town, and Race Fuel and Red Meat was at MSR last week on Thursday. Plenty of opportunities to push your car around Houston; the Club just doesn't get into those things on a cruise. Too many drivers of varying abilities, it's unsafe on public roads, and when you add up the value of the cars present, an s-load of money involved.

And the next RMRF is April 12th: Red Meat and Race Fuel . I should have my brakes put back together by then and be out there. No instructors at this event, but it's pretty laid back open lapping if you've been out to any track events before.

Oh, no doubt there. I'm just not interested in going to a track and not pushing my car

I think your car might get less punishment on the track than on the street, given recent history...

bahahaha seriously. I have a small feeling that was kharma. Because I didn't really do anything wrong to the car or the way I drove it.

How so?

1. I was in a wreck that wasn't my fault
2. There shouldn't be massive flipping lakes in the middle of I-10.
3. ^ I was driving 50 in a 70.
4. ^ Both hands on the wheel.
5. I had a defective engine that consumed oil faster than Larry the Cable Guy throws beer back.
