You will notice that our region has many Time Trials,<br />
Autocrosses, and Drivers’ Education (DE) events (in<br />
addition to a yearly Club Race). This has been the spirit<br />
of the region for quite some time. We have some of the<br />
<br />
advantage of the driving experiences we have to offer.<br />
If this doesn’t suit you, we have monthly happy<br />
hours, and lunch gatherings, regular dinner socials,<br />
frequent driving tours on some fabulous roads in<br />
and around Texas, driving rallies (fun for the whole<br />
family), and regular opportunities to support our<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
calendar. Please also feel free to share article<br />
ideas (and submissions) to editor@mavpca.org.<br />
We’d love to hear from you!<br />
