Fast Fridays continue this Friday, May 24, to Kick Off an Action Packed Memorial Day Weekend

Check the oil and make sure your hot rod is registered and ready to go. Fast Friday street legal racing is back at Texas Motorplex.  Fast Friday kicks off this Memorial Day weekend and continues with Don Omar’s Dragmania on May 25 & 26.

Tired of receiving speeding tickets because of your need for speed? Come out to the Texas Motorplex! The track is the best environment to race legally without the threat of a speeding ticket. Want to know what legendary NHRA Funny Car champion John Force sees when he pulls his 8,000 horsepower monster to the starting line? You can at every Fast Friday event.

Gates open at 6 p.m. and the lanes will be open for racing from 7 p.m. until Midnight nearly every Friday night between March 8 and Oct. 25.

Fast Friday events will be a great opportunity for year-round racers to test and tune their cars before big events. But ANYONE with a driver’s license and a legal vehicle can come out to see what it’s like to race down one of the most historic drag strips in the country.

Race for just $15, watch for only $10 (children 5 and under are free). Every ticket includes a pit pass. For ticket information call (972) 878-2641, (800) MOTORPLEX or visit our website www.texasmotorplex.com.

Texas Motorplex was the first all-concrete stadium-style drag racing facility ever constructed. Built in 1986, Texas Motorplex has been the place of many drag racing milestones and world record performances. The Billy Meyer-owned facility hosts a number of racing and car show events between March and November each year and also features the Champion’s Club – an 11,000 square-foot facility – that serves fully catered events throughout the year.

Trackside Motorhome Spaces are Available

Trackside Motorhome Spaces are Available
Stay trackside and watch the races from the comfort of your motorhome

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.
