    Not sure where the street racing is now...years ago (early-mid 80's), used to run off of Rankin road or outside the 610 loop on Westheimer (before it was built up). Would do the lower Westheimer cruise and then head out to race.
    There is a nice strip in Evadale, about 15 miles north of Vidor, and there is one up near Lufkin (https://pinevalleyraceway.com/) which I've never been to. Just remember Houston Raceway Park was a world class strip, while Evadale and the one in Lufkin are local ones. It's unfair to Evadale to compare it to HRP. The one in Evadale is well run, but compared to driving out to Baytown, a long ass drive. I usually ran times close to HRP at Evadale, but I hated that strip out past Sealy, where I usually ran about .2 slower in comparable conditions. I think the strip in Sealy (Lone Star) has been closed to the public and rentals for awhile.
