I start to loose vacation time (I'm almost maxed) in April so a 10 day trip sounds like fun. - - Definitely save me a spot
Can you camp at the track - or - only at the campgrounds near by - Any recommendations?
Did you see your car (engine SRT6) in the super cars video on their website

Sounds like it's going to be a blast....

I'm planning on arriving March 26 for three full days. Then after the event, I'm traveling up to Crawford to visit friends (and one of my Ex Wifes) - ("all my Ex's live in Texas" - "that's why I hang my hat in California") and then to Texas Motor Speedway for more fun?? - then I heard there's a great 1/4 mile track that 240M3SRT6 likes to run - maybe we can hook up for T&T night before I catch Hwy 20 back to the 10 and back home....

I done a little calculating and I don't think an SRT 6 can reach it's top speed in 1 mile from a dead stop. By my estimate, at least with my car I think from a dead stop I'd be lucky to hit 180 mph in a mile.
