thanks. ive seen one of those sites and have checked out the regional SCCA site but nothing happens anywhere close to San Angelo. Lubbock is 3+ hrs away.

Drifting
Harris Hill Road, MSR Cresson, and Driveway Austin will be the closest tracks (all about 3.5 hours). There really isn't anything less than 3-4 hours away unfortunately.
If you want to get into dirt ovals, there is a lot in West Texas. There was also a off road (Baja style) race about an hour from here earlier this year.
Hope that helps!

West Texas Region PCA usually has an autocross about every other month in Big Springs TX. Permianbasin corvettes has a website, that lists most of these types of events in the area. Check the Drivers Edge and Nasa website's for trackdays.

Does Jim Hall of the old Chaparral fame have a private road course near his home town of Midland ?

It is about 5 miles south of Midland, On HWY 349. The track is private, and has not been used for about 20 years. It is in bad shape. A local group of people, mostly freinds and fans of Jim Halls. Have been trying to get the track restored.

Hope they can pull it off. It's hard enough to get one of these things built from scratch. Fixing something already in place would be a lot cheaper. Just need to be able to pay for it with enough events...

Ok got signed up today for the BBORR. I entered the SR class 2. Since I am a rookie at this particular venture but not to racing have I chosen too slow of a class? caution maybe to the extreme?
I would appreciate some input from those who have run this before.
Thanks
Mike
