I attended the Lone Star round up at Texas Motor Speedway sponsored by Trackguys this weekend and I have to say I was impressed. The course was challenging and the instructors were top notch. I did not know my car could do that lol. If you get a chance to attend any driving school I recommend it. My car is no longer a baby it was broken in very well lol. I also had the pleasure or riding with Mr. Joe Johnson and his 164 of 300 Cobra R that car is amazing I had a lot of fun during that ride. Just thought I would share that thanks for reading

Andres,

Thank you for coming out to TWS for our Track Guys event... and, I'm glad you had fun and learned a little somethin' about both your car AND your abilities to get it around the track in a safe, fun and educational manner. Plus, DANG! Your car is BEAUTIFUL at speed blastin' down the front straight at TWS... Look for some images of your car here:

 

And you BOTH are correct: Mr. Joe Johnson is truly one-of-a-kind. I've known and driven with Joe for years and ALWAYS look forward to sharing the track with him, regardless of who is driving what... I'm glad you were able to see what TWS is like from his passenger seat, too!

 

I also appreciate your comments about our instructors - we simply could NOT do these events without them and yes, they ARE top notch!

 

TRT: where WERE you brother?!? The weather was spectacular and the cars and drivers even better!

 

See you on track!

I have been to the TMS in 2007 for a charity. Nice track until I was kick off doing 130 mph. Speed limit was to be 85 mph and I had that dang "Drive by Wire" stuck. lol

 

What was the cost of this driving school and was it done on the oval track or a road track?

For one day $175 both days $300 I think...it was well worth it and it was the 1.2 road course

I had a great time at the SCCA "PDX" last October, held at Summit Point, WV. I hope to go back later this year if I can find the time.

 

Fortunately I was "advanced" and did not need an instructor. :happy feet:

 

Heres a link to my YouTube videos if anyone is interested in watching....

Andres: you WERE going fast... LOL... we actually used the 2.9-mile configuration, counter-clock direction...

 

And thanks for all the kudos for our Track Guys programs... we wish we were doing more events for Team Shelby...
