Tracking Event Added to Texas Cobra Club State Meet Activities

H2R is a 36-feet wide, 1.8 mile, 11 turn asphalt road course just on the northeast outskirts of San Marcos. The track offers 150 feet of elevation change throughout the course and a challenging mix of on and off-camber turns mingled with straightaways up to 990 feet in length.

Had I blast today at the Harris Hill Race way. The course is challenging and not too bad for a rookie. Kept it on the pavement all day and no spin outs. I was the only non mustang cobra out on the course. They all had power steering and I still did pretty good. The Cobra handled pretty good, way too much body roll so I need to add sway bars and adjust the rear coil overs. I think I hit 90 on a straight, so I wasn’t complaining since I had to slow down and make a hard right. It will fun with other cobra out there in 3 weeks.

Yes John I still need to do my pay pal.

[Gregg(What's his name)?]

John,

Can you double check and make sure you have me registered and paid for the track event? I did the paypal last night. I wish I had time to put on the new springs.

Is there a plan already for cruising out to the track or are we still playing by ear at this point?

-Greg

[Gregg(What's his name)?]

The track is probably less than 10 minutes to the hotel. I think we can post a map a time to arrive. I will let John Shelton handle than end of this event. I dont want to step on his toes. I would like to get there early and set my car up. SO I might take the trailer and equipment.

[Stoney FFR]

Anybody know if they rent helmets at the track?

[jshel1]

I am waiting on a sizing inventory, but a total of 8 loaner helmets are avaialable at the track. Of that, 2 are already reserved for participants signed up,

Okay thanks.. I'm going to sign up then..

[LREYBURN]

John:

Does H2R have track Transponder timing? If so, I'll hook mine up.

See you in two weeks.

[Gregg(What's his name)?]

I will bring an extra helmet. They do not have transponder timing. So dont bother hooking it up. The track is very easy to get to and should take less than 10 minutes to get there from the hotel.

Guys go to Exit 210 Yarrington way and go east. It is a much better road than through Aquarena Springs Road. I do believe Yarrington goes right into Harris Hill. Just and FYI

Yarrington does indeed hit Harris Hill Road and probably is the easiest way to get to the track.

[Stoney FFR]

Sorry guys, but both of your routes don't look like much fun.. I'm thinking about something like this.
