    Grand Sport Speedway now open...

    Apparently Grand Sport Speedway (http://www.grandsportspeedway.com/) is paved and open for business.

    The first track event there will be the San Jacinto Corvette Club on June 23-24. http://www.sanjacintocorvetteclub.or...ne07flyer.html


    It's not too far from MSRH. It might be time for a field trip...

    Sweet... another Texas-South course.

    I did a PCA autocross out there years ago.

    If the the other two new tracks get operational, I'll have four tracks within an hour and a half and TWS not that much farther; no wonder I had to put a car together.

    Now, if there was some elevation change...

    For those who want to do a field trip to GSS from MSRH while you are there for the NASA event, I've attached a map. It's a bit less than 30 miles driving between the two...

    Hope the racing surface is better than the last time Texas AI/CMC raced there! 8)

    We had different rules for standing starts back then.

    Some people couldn't conserve tires and wouldn't make it past T1...we had to change the format. :roll:

    Minimum weight for F-bodies was 4000lbs at the time...made for much better competition.
