HMP

Houston Motorsports Park, I think it is...

There are signs for it off of Beltway 8 just south of 59.

I believe it's just an 1/8 mi track anyways. I like the 1/4 mi tracks. IMO
That track would be good for setting your vehicle up for perfecting your launches. It's a quicker track to get back to the staging lights.
Maybe not too busy either.

hmp is a 1/8 mile track. it gets very busy on the weekends. make sure you got some good brakes because the shutdown area is pretty short.

more than 20 more miles, but still worth the drive. it was slippery as **** last time i went but i heard they fixed all that....

i heard they pulled the staging lanes back farther for more braking room, and that you can actually notice a hint of traction now days. still the same croud/atmosphere i dont like though. lots of gambling, 4 wheelers and jet ski's runnin the track, and wana-b thugs from what i hear.

yeah, everyone out there are asses. my buddie has an old montego that he races out there. he was sitting in the staging lanes and he was the next one up to race and the car wouldnt start because the battery was dead. no one would jump him off. everyone would just drive right by and yell "move that **** out of the way". ***** those people out there. guys on bikes go out there and stunt down the track. its dangerous.
