The south is full of dragstrips, but does anyone know where there's a full track anywhere down here? Would love to take some driving lessons, but I know for sure there are none here in Louisiana. Anyone got some info?

there is a big road coarse outside of San Antonio TX, I talked to a guy who has been up to 160 on the strait in a Beamer M3! we run cone coarses down here in corpus, there is supposed to be a meet this weekend, I was gonna run my car but they are calling for heavy rain for us so it will most likely be cancelled.

San Antonio, huh? Well, that sucks. Don't have time for that kind of trip.

I was just about to comment on that, Aftermath. It was at the Texas Motor Speedway, right? Only problem is that they only let you drive THEIR cars. I want to join a program where they let you learn in your own car.

at Bondurant in AZ they'll let you take your own car on the track after you complete their 4 day course.

BTW you'll prolly forget about your own car after you drive their Formula Fords..

There's NO PROBLEM RACEWAY in Donaldsonville, Louisiana. Don't know for sure if it's a full track though. Think it is.

AleroDownSouthGirl, I love you. At first I thought you were kidding with the name NO PROBLEM RACEWAY. Now i just have to figure out where the heck Belle Rose, Louisiana is.

No problem raceway is about 15 miles northeast of baton rouge. They don't have a racetrack, its a drag strip for 1/4 mile racing.

You gotta take I-10 to Sorrento, Louisiana and cross the Sunshine Bridge into Donaldsonville. Other that that....I'd get lost. Just rode there once.

I've confirmed that they do have a whole track on yesterday. From someone who races there nearly every weekend. Good Luck.
