See links or check out my awesome world racing event dates calendar. I say, awesome, because it almost kills me every year getting it together. I treat it with awe,and so might you. Check it out. Tell your friends. Make me proud.

Did you know? Dallas and Fort Worth are around 30 miles apart, but sprawl over the years has meant that they have grown together. The Texas Motor Speedway lies just 20 miles north of Fort Worth. Dallas is new, flashy, built on new oil money, and, in terms of racing history, even held an F1 event in it's streets, while Fort Worth is more laid back, conservative, and filled with much historical interest.
All directions are sourced from detailed research, personal experience, and official media info guides, or link to reliable (most times) official sources, so I can be pretty confident they're correct but don't forget to look at my legal disclaimer. If you spot an error, have a nice short cut or traffic avoidance tip, or know of something a race fan just HAS to see, via the email link below.
