Texas Motorplex has space openings on both the pit side and the spectator side Motorhome Corrals for the 28^th annual AAA Texas NHRA Fall Nationals, September 19-22, 2013.

Spectator side motorhome spaces are $1,000 for the weekend, include water, waste, and electrical hookups on 15 ft wide by 30 ft long concrete spaces at the end of the spectator grandstands.   The spectator side motorhome corral spaces do not include tickets as part of the space, you will need to purchase tickets for everyone staying in the motorhome for each day of the event.

Pit side motorhome spaces are located between the pit side food court and the Finish Line Grandstands, they are 25 Ft wide and include 4 Full Event tickets to the AAA Texas NHRA Fall Nationals, all for just $1,500.  The pit side motorhome spaces do not include any hook ups so the motorhomes must be self contained.   We will have a service company that will make rounds throughout the weekend when that can deliver water and pump waste for a small fee.

Parking for one support vehicle and one motorhome is included with the space.  Parking is extremely limited and any additional vehicles will need to park in the main spectator parking lot and enter through the spectator gate.

Spaces are very limited and available only by reservation.
