For anyone who reads these posts and wants to check out track events, come to a NASA weekend! It is
free to get in and watch (except at TWS, where the track charges you a gate fee). Or better yet, sign up for HPDE and come give it a try in your car! If its your first time sign up for HPDE1, where you will get an instructor in the right seat all weekend. They will help teach you the track driving skills and safety that you cannot learn on your own.

The next NASA event is Nov 2-3 at Eagles Canyon Raceway north of Dallas/Ft. Worth. The link is right above this paragraph. The entire Vorshlag crew will be there and you can see the red TT3 Mustang going for its 8th track record of the year that weekend. Tons of Mustangs run in NASA, so you won't be alone.
hooning at the 2012 ECR Toy Run
There are also several more ECR events coming up, including the annual Toy Run on Dec 7th. This is the lowest cost track event you will ever do, and it is also the most laid back event of the year. For $50 + an unwrapped toy worth $10 or more you get a full day of driving at Eagles Canyon. This is a very popular event and a great place for n00bs to come check it out on the cheap.
ECR Toy Run for Cars. Sat, December 7, 2013, 9am – 5pm
2012 Toy Run was so much fun - I brought 4 cars!
I will keep posting up more info about additional track days at ECR, MCS-C and anything else in the DFW area. We are lucky - we have THREE road course tracks here in town (MSR, ECR, TMS), which is more than any other city in Texas. If you want to get into track events there is no better place to try it. If you are nervous about taking your car out, Vorshlag is a NASA approved track inspection facility. If we see anything that we feel isn't safe, we'll let you know and/or fix it.
Miata drivers come out in droves for the toy run - and always find the dirt!
