Default Anyone here currently attend Texas Tech (or live around Lubbock)?

I'm from Houston and I will be starting my freshman year at Tech this August. I was wondering what the car scene is like up there (not too big I reckon lol).

I won't be getting a car (I want a WS6) until sophomore year, so I look forward to meeting some LSx enthusiasts first.

You beat me to it, I was going to post the same question sometime this week. I am from the Beaumont area, but I will be going to Lubbock Christian University as a freshman this August as well. As small as Lubbock is I am sure we will probally run into each other sometime during the next couple of years.

I will be taking my Trans Am up to college.

www.racelubbock.com

There are 2 tracks. Idalou is a 1/4 mile that is fairly close to town. Dalocca is an old Air Force strip that occasionally will hook like a dream. By the way, Lubbock isn't as small as you think....

There is also www.anythingcars.com which is a forum for the area south of lubbock, mainly Midland/Odessa.

Hope This Helps,

Kenny

I just graduated from there this past May. I remember hearing about a few cruises, but I was never able to go on one. Check out racelubbock as mentioned, and I think there may be a new club on campus called racetech now as well.

I live 30 mins away from lubbock in a small POS town called levelland. Nothing to do. Only drag racing goin on now is 4 cylinder honda's and cavilers. So i go to lubbock to look for drag racing. Dolacca close down. But Idalou is still open. Not a bad place. Alot of bars and clubs. And alot of f-bodys. Im registered with Racelubbock and every friday we have a get to gether and hang around and talk. and sometimes on saturdays as well. Every now and then we will have a big get together and cruise.
