Default Looking for a Track at sea level

I am plainin a roadtrip toward the Houston area. I need a good weather 1/4 track, low alt and LOW DA. It doesn't have to be Houston, Dallas would work if conditions were right, or maybe some where else.

Any suggestions??

Sooner the better with summer around the corner, right??

HRP is a good track just outside of Houston.

Man you missed the buckin Foat.( I hope you caught that one.LOL.)

Tonight was probably the last good air available until next Fall. HRP is very close to "zero" DA. The DA got to -429 at some points in the evening. It's not great, but but you probably are not going to find anything better this spring.

HMP is open tomorrow for TNT and you can just multiply your 1/8 ET X 1.57 and you will have an extremely close 1/4 ET.

Good luck to ya!!!

We managed a best of 1.42. I just knew there was an all motor 1.3X in there somewhere. It'll be there come October, I promise. It was good seeing you again. Take care.

Wish I could of gone, but I maxed out my injectors. HRP is going to be your best bet if youre looking for a 1/4 mile track. I believe its around 14 ft. above sea level. I doubt but I hope the air is cool on Sunday as it was last night. The last time I was out at the track which was a couple months back, I caught -1900 ft. DA.

How is HRP in the middle of May?
Im looking coming down there in the Middle of May but dont want to come if the DA is going to be high, 500-1000.
I'd like to stay around the 0 DA if possible....
