We have some good racing coming this weekend in North East Texas

CMRA :: Central Motorcycle Roadracing Association

If you haven't ever been to one of their events you need to come out and meet them. I will also be there enjoying. This is a good group of family fiendly people and they welcome all.

Thanks for the post, I think if more people went to actual race events they would see how awesome it is to watch and how freindly most racers are and willing to talk (as long as they are not busy with something or getting ready to go out and race).

Spectating an AMA Pro race event at Road America and then regularly attending regional road racing as a spectator at the local race track (Blackhawk Farms) is what led me into racing myself. I was always in awe watching racing in person, it's so much more intense than when it's shown on TV, the actual speed of the racing is probably the biggest thing not really captured on TV.

I personally encourage everyone to go and spectate a motorcycle road race (even if it's not Pro), it really is an awesome experience and generally a great show as well!

Oak Hill was my maiden race... and it was with the CMRA. We raced an old CBR-600 F2 and a YSR-50. I miss those days. I need to get back into the swing of things.

FYI... Collin Edwards started out there at Oak Hill too.

There's a saying: "If you can ride Oak Hill, you can ride anywhere". Collin Edward, Ben Spies, Ty howard and some other big name racers have been there many times.
