That's the info. Looks like it lasts two days. Any of y'all going Sunday?
Well damn. That is pretty costly for a few hours of driving. Any of you guys going to watch?

I'm most definitely going to watch. I haven't even gotten my plates from the dealer yet!

I would go to watch, but it won't be until Sunday. If a group goes on Sunday I will definitely go. Besides, I haven't really introduced myself to anyone in the FT86 Houston club.

The fee is for both days, and it's actually cheaper than most.

I'll most likely attend the tech day. Just found out this weekend I have to babysit my nephews. So TWS is a no-go for me

Saturday is questionable for me to go watch, but I'll try to make it out there Sunday.

Anybody have the opening/closing times? I would hate to drive out there just to witness a driver's meeting or something.

It's way less expensive than equivalent autocrossing run time of 2+ hours on course... While I'd love to run on track again, I just can't trust the car and it still needs to get checked out for throwing codes when pushing it daily driving. I'd like to go and watch/take pictures and am willing to help out with quick maintenance between sessions - but my car will not see track again I'm afraid.

There's AC power available at TWS right? If so I have the Ranger BL-5000 Quickjack if it would be of use to anybody. Need to see how it fits in the car, but I'm sure it will fit. Awesome for quick rotation of tires and checking of brakes and bleeding brake fluid.

Yeah autoX is cheaper, but open track will have more seat time. It'll be fun this weekend.

I'll be #386

Does anyone from the Houston 86 club remember what roads y'all took on the Lake Livingston drive a few weeks back?

I'm headed out to that area this weekend and would like to check it out.

Thanks for your help!

Please don't drink and drive. It's no joke. I've already lost 3 friends due to being hit by drunken drivers.
