Had a friend that lived in Tx for a few years, and I thought he told me that they rotated tracks, as every track was not open every week.
Not sure myself as I only lived in TX for 6 weeks
Maybe someone from the area can comment???

Anywho, Good Luck with the move.

Royal Purple raceway, houston motorsport park, sealy, pine valley, ben bruce memorial park, all within 1.5 hrs of houston. HMP has a $10,000 5.80 race on march 1. I think the week after is a X275 race. Racing goes on every weekend around houston, if the weather is good. We invite more mopars cause we are few in the area. Be safe with the move.

Thanks guys!
You guys have another place to visit now. Norwalk is only 1300 mi away now
The car is in the chassis shop. I am putting a strut front end on the car. This should lighten it up some. It will be a few months until the car is finished. I will keep in touch. You never know, I might make the drive up to Norwalk!

Good luck with the car and relocation to Texas, Tom

I ran at HMP, it is a great hooking track when I was there. Firday night is T&T. the ricers had to wait in line. real racecars were moved to the front and they ran in one lane the ricers another, not at the same time.

People were great at the track.

I was in Spring. pretty nice there.

Let me know if you have some road runner parts you don't want to move.

Good luck on the new start

If you do decide to haul the RR up to Norwalk make sure not to borrow a beat up ol truck and be wearing a suit at the same time!

There are 3 tracks in or around Houston. Royal Purple Raceway, Houston Motorsport Park and Lonestar Motorsports Park in Sealy.


I was looking on the web a couple weeks ago and saw those 3 tracks, plus Evadale. I also saw Pine Valley (Lufkin), or do you consider that closer to Dallas?

In about 3 years I plan to leave Maryland (retiring) and looking at various places. If a racer has anything to share about cost of living, housing, property taxes, racer friendly living areas, etc. PM me. Thanks.
