Track in DFW area

Does anyone know of any race tracks in the DFW (Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas) area where I could take my car? Preferably a real track with some turns, but a 1/4 mile track would be okay too. I live in denton (north of dallas) and am looking for something relatively close.

there is a 1/4 in ennis. there is another one closer to denton i believe, but i dont remember where it is. And i believe on some days the motor speedway is open to the public, if you want those types of turns. Then if your willing to go south of ft worth there is a track on 377 between ft worth and granbury that is a nice road track.

there's texas mile which is far away, and there's a couple other road tracks.

Yeah, unfortunately. The school is not that horrible, but denton is a waste of space.

i think it is motorsport ranch, or something like that.

I have a friend that lives in granbury so he drives past it all the time and he says they are building it up and making it a pretty nice track, more professional and everything.


what is your major?

I'm a music major (jazz studies to be specific). That explains why I came 1,000 miles to go to school in denton (UNT has one of the top ranked jazz programs in the country).

Thanks for your help.

Anyone heard of this? I signed up for the 30th in Dallas. I was wondering if anyone has been and wanted to ask some questions about the kart racing.
