Texas Mile check list?

[rojizostang]

texas mile registration opens Jan 20. i hope to register and take the whip down and have a little fun. since i'm a noob, what should i take with me? i'll be driving the car down and back, not sure i'll stay over night since i'm in san antonio.

any input is welcome.

just for starters

tires need to meet or exceed mph you are going for and be in GREAT condition.
interior mounted fire ext.
sfi rated gloves
tennis shoes
snell sa-2000 or newer helmet


bunch of tape

i never been but i am planning on running the 2nd event of the year

 

[rojizostang]

thanks, anyone or anything else?

 

[fdjizm]

Yes, some brass balls

 

[rojizostang]

there's actually a lot of info on their website. i'm just kind of wondering from a practical standpoint...like...pop up awnings, chairs, are there grandstands? anything besides just technical stuff, whatever makes it more enjoyable and practical

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

No grandstands. There are tents set up that you can bring your own chair and sit under. Lots of drinking water lol.

Snacks and drinks, chairs, a hat, a portable radio is nice.

I have been quite a few times but likely just sticking to the Houston half mile now

We'll be there this year again

I want to go, but it'll just depend on my work schedule. I need to check and see when it is.

BTW.. When and where is the Houston half mile ?

When is this event taking place?

Mar 22-24

i still haven't registered. i think i want to go as a spectator the first time out. the other thing is i just can't bring myself to cut two 3 inch holes in my cervini's hood for hood pins. i don't think they're a requirement, but i just don't trust that hood at 150mph or so w/o pins.

Don't forget the medical form. I'm gonna try to make this one!

you can fill that out online when you make up your user profile

It says registration is full now.

They were going quick. When I registered yesterday it said there were only 36 spots left.
