Our 4th annual event is in the books and the results are now available for viewing. A huge thank you to all who attended and supported this event, especially our sponsors.  Each year our goal is to make this event more enjoyable for the competitors and spectators.  We listen to participant feedback and we are learning more each year based on our experiences at the track.

Texas Motorplex and the track staff once again exceeded our expectations for track preparation and logistics and we sincerely appreciate their hard work and commitment to the success of the event.  It was a beautiful partly cloudy day in Texas with the temperature in the mid 70's.

The date for our 5th annual event has been locked in for Saturday, February 27, 2021 at Texas Motorplex in Ennis, Texas.  We have some changes in mind for the classes that should help make the event run smoother and eliminate the need for hot lapping during the finals.
