Gulf Coast RC Track Racers, Porter Texas (Houston)
I started this thread to have a place for general discussions by racers at Gulf Coast RC Race Track, Gulf Coast Raceway, in Porter Texas just North of the big airport in Houston. This is not a commercial space, so discussions of stock on hand or stock for sale is not allowed. The link above goes to the new Web page which has photos of the track.

Howdy John! Long time no talk. This is Biff from the old Performance Raceway and the Biff Racing Team days.
Ill be racing at Gulf Coast this upcoming weekend for my first time. We have that charity race going on and it should be a hoot. Fingers crosssed.
A few of the guys that run there post up on my little website. It aint much but its gaining in popularity in Houston. Your more than welcome to post up there, in fact, with your technical input, I would be thrilled to death to see some of your knowledge posted there. At least, give it a peak and see what you think.
You can follow my sig, or just google "2cool racing."
I havent ran TC since the outdoor track at Performance Raceway. LOL. Im prolly gonna get killed this weekend. Oh yea, I hear some of the old timers are racing up there. Binson, Ron Howard, Lynn Harris etc. Im looking forward to the weekend and hope to see you again.
Later dude.

And like most sites, we sure could use some tech talk going. I really enjoy that. I need to pick up your book. Can you bring me a copy?

It was a great day to race at Gulf Coast RC Race Track. Sunny. Track temps reached 110F. Cooled to about 103 F for the Main. Very nice having a shaded pit space and drivers stand.
Top three finishers
Lin Harris 17 5:10
Robert Rocha 17 5:16
Jason Hains 16:5:11
We worked on Lins car and it kept improving. He ran Take Off RP 30s dry for the last two heats and the main.
We had some traction problems from pine tree pollen. This should go away in a few weeks. After we got a couple of heats on to make a new groove, the traction improved.
