I race at San Antonio Raceway and it is 2-3 hours from Houston depending on what side of to town your coming from.

They all have their good and bad points but all nice facilities. "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." "It's never wrong to do the right thing"

It's only a 19 hour non stop drive to Norwalk from Houston.lol You never know where I might be in a few years. I will stay in touch. I am in the beginning stages of getting the car fixed. It will probably a few months until it is finished. The car should be close to 200lbs lighter.

GTSDave master Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 3,048 Richmond, Tx. (Houston)	Sealy is my favorite track because it is so close for me. That is the people are very friendly. I am out in the Richmond/Rosenberg area and only go to Royal Purple for big events. Sealy also has VERY reasonable track rental rates..... Not sure on the others. -Dave PLEASE Pray for our brothers and sisters in harms way. If you are the owner of a GTS us at the GTS Registry www.gtsregistry.com
