Welcome to Texas Spec7
Home of the Texas SRX7 Road Race Series
Registration is open..
Ken, how long did it take you to get there last year?
anyone thinking about going? I might
Its two full days of towing to get there, Googlemaps says 25hrs from NW Houston, and it took about that much time towing between 0 and 10mph over though I did have one unscheduled stop to fix a flat. Thankfully the Tundra is overkill for an open trailer and my car, let me keep the speed up safely and plenty of power for the 6000 and 7000 foot elevation 7% grade climbs. There might be more friendly routes for those of you with bigger trailers than me.
Stopped in Hays KS on I-70 going there. On the way back we did a few hours on Sunday after the races and stayed in Green River WY, then Witchita KS Mon night, then home Tuesday a bit before dinner time.
I am planning on a return. Anyone thinking about the nice GP garages should do it. They're plenty big enough for two cars if anyone wants to split one with me or team up themselves. Its the same stuff you see the ALMS, Grand Am, Pro Motorcycle teams, etc in on TV.
If you like TWS I think you'll really love Miller. Its deceptively faster and more challenging than it looks in video... racing was really good too. Most of the tracks we race on teach you tricks that can apply there as well, as a region we could have a pretty strong showing.
Chris - I bet you could fill the 3 or 4 car trailer setups pretty easily between this group and the rest of NASA-TX. I know I'd be interested as it'd save me some valuable vacation days from work....

Lets bring this thing back to Texas! I registered for PTF and TTF this morning
Is it going to be up to me to represent Texas??!?
with all the money you guys are saving by skipping regional events I'm sure you've got enough to go now.... ;-) If you can run towards the front locally in Texas you can run towards the front at Nationals, especially with the defending champ sitting out this year.
There are some people getting transports together but the tow out there isn't that bad either
There are still plenty of inexpensive hotel options - pretty sure the Oquirrh that I stayed at last year has rooms still, and there are other inexpensive ones as well...
Hell I'll even pick you up at the airport if needed
Why sit at home in September when you could be out west kicking ass and taking names??
btw - just about everyone that's run this year has enough events that they qualify - just need 5 races in 2010.
Like I said - few excuses left :-p
