You go boy!!!! That's great especially since the air is not all that great these last few days.


I have lot of family (yep I'm a redneck ) around the Lufkin, Huntington,Diboll area.

I still love the area. It's simple and simple is good in my book.

Congrats!

I tried to go there last night but never found the track. The sign said 4 miles down that road and I never saw it. How much is it to race and how much to spectate on a normal test and tune night?

By the way you got some competition

UB2SLOW- I'll try to put something together for the end of April.

Brian2006- Just keep going its out there on the left and you can't
miss it. Spectators are $10 and Test-n-tune or trophy street is $20.

TexasTA- Maybe you can make plans to attend the next gathering
towards the end of April.

bassplayer103- I'll post next trip up with more time to plan. Keep
watching for more info.

TXCAMSS- If tour ever in the neighborhood let me know and we'll
get together for something.


I am looking at April 21st (saturday) for maybe our next get to gether.
Thinking about making it a track day and just hangout before it gets to
hot for outside gatherings. Anybody have any objections to that day.
Mark your calenders and plan on coming out....

It definitely would be for me but don't make it harder on yourselves because I won't be able to make it.
