While we work on the TGT 4x4 Meetup, I figured I'd plant the seed for a TGT Track Day! This is where you can bring your daily driver or your track toy to a racetrack and drive around like a hoon! We don't encourage reckless driving, but sometimes people run out of skill...
There are many tracks that would be centrally located. Off the top of my head, I would recommend Texas World Speedway in Bryan (my home track), or Harris Hill Raceway in San Marcos. There is also MSR-Cresson in... Cresson, and MSR-Houston in Angleton. A track day at Circuit of the Americas would be awesome, and I will be attending one next month, but they're priced pretty high.
If you just want to get your track on, MSR-Houston has a run-what-ya-brung type of track day once a month for $75. Open to the public, follow the simple rules for clothing, and pass through tech inspection. And you'll get about 1.5-2hrs total track time throughout the day.
TWS also has quite a few HPDE (high performance driver's education) events with different sanctioning bodies. They typically charge about $300 for the weekend, or $125 per day. I prefer NASA-TX to SCCA, but you can run with whomever you want.
I know there are quite a few track whores in here. Let's set something up! ROLE CALL!
Also, I will be able to give ride-alongs at TWS or MSR-Houston, and maybe at COTA. If you just want to come out to ride shotgun in a Z06, then that's fine too!
If this is setup at MSR-Houston, it will be a long drive for ATX/DFW/SA but they have a karting track as well. So whether you bring your full-size car or just want to race around a track in some FAST karts, there will be plenty to do.
