    "RUMOR" - consider it killed. Torques are, and always have, hosted the Texas Thaw. Other racing groups/teams/organizations, are there on an 'Invited' basis.
    So, that being said, if you are part of a racing groups/teams/organizations, consider yourselves INVITED.
    Just come play, and have a blast.
    Thanks - BigKen
    (any questions, drop me a 'pm')

    There are some purpose built race cars there, but a lot of daily drivers going down the track. Don't worry about not having race truck. It's a great time and get that truck on the track. The THAW is a must and we travel from San Antonio every year to make it. The Torques put on a first class event. See you there.

    First off thanks for offering a place for me and the 28 to stay during the Thaw. Really gonna try and get up there. Second, you are right about how much it stokes a kid or a grey beard to just sit in a hot rod. My dad was really missing his 55 at the 09 Thaw and sitting in your coupe brought a nice smile to his face. He still always asks me about "Docs bad ass coupe"

    We decided against the mini-bikes this year. Track wasn't too excited about it, and we had minimal participation in past years.
