It’s always fun getting to plan some trips throughout the Summer. Even more so when your better half just happens to find out there’s a “car thing” happening the same weekend we’d be up in Houston. I wasn’t sure what to expect since she had just found an event page on Facebook – and we all know what that platform is looking like these days. But once I found the official host’s Instagram page, I knew this was going to be something we’d all get to enjoy unless it was insanely humid, heh.

The research, the late nights, the seat time at the home track — it all boils down to this week long event. TX2K is where some of the world’s fastest meet head to head for drag racing & roll racing. And of course an event THIS big with some of the FASTEST happens in Texas.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my 2nd time at SEMA, it’s that 4 days is never enough – at least for me. You would think I would have learned that from last year, but coming from a guy that doesn’t remember what he ate yesterday – this isn’t so surprising. Last years “time is an illusion” feeling was only amplified by not realizing how fast the trip was coming up. One second we’re getting our badges in the mail, the next I’m trying to figure out my packing situation the night before we leave – another thing I didn’t quite learn from last year.
