Just got off the phone with them and they are open for test and tune
Friday and Sunday, gates open at 5:00 Friday and 4:00 Sunday. Friday
looks like the better day as far as weather goes (no rain ) Sunday shows
a small chance of rain. How many would be interested in going out Friday night and making some test runs........??????????????????

I may be out there friday. Hollaaaaaa if you see me.

BTW - Make sure you wait untill the car that's staged takes off before you do your burnout, and drive around the water box too (back into it, pull out of it a foot or so, then burn). He's going to wave you up there before the cars take off, but wait untill they do before you roast 'em. I was confused on this my first time there.

Nope both HMP and HRP are closed.

Lonestar is the only option that I know of close to H-Town.

Be careful though. The track can be questionable if there's not enough heat in it to get the tires to stick.

Houston Raceway Park in Baytown is open Friday and Sunday. I talked to
them in person.....

Anywhere you go in a vert, you will need a helmet at the very least,
the faster you go the more that will be required. If it is close to stock
you will only need a helmet for now........
