    TX Track Day Anyone

    Thought I would see if Pete or any of the other TX folks will be hitting the track here anytime soon (yes I get understand we just received 12" of snow in Dallas). My first will be with Ridesmart at MSR-H outside of Houston on March 6. Anyone thinking about a track day in TX?? Brian
