3rd annual Spring Warm-Up Preseason Test Session February 26-27 at Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown

Baytown, TX- Officials for Royal Purple Raceway (formerly Houston Raceway Park) announced the 3rd annual Spring Warm-Up Preseason Test Session which will take place Feb. 26-27, 2011, at the newly renamed Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas. Organizers expect race teams in the NHRA and ADRL sanctions to participate in this preseason test to tune their hot rods for the 2011 season.
Royal Purple Raceway benefits from incredible atmospheric conditions because of its close proximity to Trinity Bay, which feeds the facility cool air, making it an ideal destination for racers and crew chiefs to work on their race day setups and combinations.

Royal Purple Raceway is also scheduled to host two NHRA South Central Division events, March 4-6th and September 16-18th, the only track in the country picked to host two premier Sportsman races in the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series.
