    there is an evening track event on August 14, this summer thru thedriversedge.net -

    anyone here tracked their car there? I have done a few track events with other cars thru TDE and had good experiences, just never at the fort worth speedway -

    Texas!
    Check and see if they are going to let you out on the oval or just the infield course.

    The drivers edge puts on a well organized, properly run, show.

    Texas Driving Experience is also putting on their event at TMS ( Roval ) on April 30th.

    There are at least 2 spots left that I know of, in case you cannot wait till Summer time to run.

    They are running the " big " track as well as the infield, a first for me, which looks fun ( read: fast )

    In the past, their events have run about 250$ or so. there will be cars of all types there, so not just an F event.

    I did the first TMS event (that I know of) back in 2000 or 2001 with TDE. It was fun. They put a chicane (one lane...very tight w/ cones) about the middle of the front straight so you could not get to out of control going in to NASCAR turn 1! Most people with high HP cars and the cars themselves are not set up for NASCAR turns or the speeds you can reach up there! Even w/ that chicane my '88 928 S4 hits 100 THREE TIMES a lap!! It was a BRAKE KILLER! Though no problems for the 3600# S4...they have AWESOME brakes! I did cord a tire so keep an eye on them.

    All that said and how cool it was to run on a HUGE track like that, it was pretty dang boring! I MUCH, MUCH prefer Harris Hill Road in San Marcos, or MSR-Cresson or even my "home" track TWS! All of those are FAR MORE FUN!

    Good luck and enjoy!
