Default any tracks open in December

Are there any tracks open, especially in East Texas or the DFW area, in December for test and tune? I looked on a couple web sites but didn't see anything on anyone's schedule. With the great DA this time of year and cooler air we wanted to get out and do some nitrous testing to see how deep in the 10s we can go with our DOT C5.

It is either go to the 1/4 mile and make one pass in the entire night at RPR which really is gay, or go to the 1/8 mile and hot lap the **** out of my car from 7-9 and go home happy. Pretty sure my record is like 19 passes in 2 hours at HMP. And that's because I was just ready to go, lol.

So, if that's gay to you and making one pass in a entire night,two of you are 1st in line when the lanes start moving is not, your definition of gay is not the same as mine. Lol

Ok let me try that again. Waiting in the street car line is gay I started going to the "fast car lane" after i realized you can make as many passes as you want.. No one says anything to me.

Really, why?

HMP on Sundays is far superior to RPR on Friday nights.

We can lower the price back to $20 and you can sit in the staging lanes for 3 hours between runs like Baytown if you'd like? By design this event will be able to hot lap for the most part, and we won't be having n00bs drag water all over the track either.

I'm not complaining about the $$ and I'm not complaining about the way the event is setup. Please try to pay attention. The comment was made in response to Hennessy being a *****.

Like I said earlier he might be a ***** but you pay your money, Race and go home.. He owns the drag strip, Oh well.
