moving to Dallas, what is there to do with my new EVO?

hello everyone,

i am new to this forum and to the EVO as i just picked up an '04 last weekend. i am moving to the DFW area next week for a new job, and was wondering what there is to do around there as far as autocrossing, drivers ed events, track days, car shows... anything basically. additionally if there are any EVO get togethers or anything i would love to participate. also, how many people do live in the DFW area?

thanks and i look forward to meeting up with other EVO fans=)
-kevin

there are a couple of 1/8 mile tracks... and i believe the closest 1/4 mile is in ennis which is about a 30 min drive south of dallas.. as far as shows there are couple year round like HIN, expo, extreme auto fest, etc... shows got pretty boring.. i used to throw the after parties here in dallas... not sure on auto cross courses..

There are a few of us here who do the road course thing.

I should also have given you a link to ConeCrazy. My first trip to TWS was last month with these guys, and I got a substantial (25%) discount for being with them.

If my brake pads come in the mail, I should be at the NASA event at TWS in a couple of weeks.

Here's a recent road racing thread you might find interesting.

Have fun!
