I'm in San Antonio so can't really help you with the local meets & that kind of stuff but do know a bit about the tracks here. Certainly COTA is there like you said - really fun track & definitely worth driving. Here are the others:

Harris Hill Raceway - in San Marcos a bit south of Austin. Shorter track but still a lot of fun. Definitely a "handling" track as opposed to a "power" track. For me in San Antonio this is by far my most accessible option and I do have a membership there. They resurfaced it a couple of years ago - before that it was awful. But for now it is in pretty decent shape. We actually have an open invitation to anyone that wants to join us when we head out there to get some track time. Typically have a decent size group out there & we always have a good time.

MSR Cresson - south of DFW a little bit - fun track too and they actually have a couple of different options on how they run it. They have the option to run two tracks with one being very technical or combining them into one longer track.

Eagles Canyon - outside of Decatur a bit NW of DFW - awesome track - it & COTA are the two best in TX imo. Definitely recommend trying it at least once

MSR Houston - eh, not my favorite. Flat (like the rest of Houston) & just overall really do not enjoy this track. Also I have no desire to be anywhere around the Houston area from March through November...


Chin and Edge Addicts host the most HPDE's in TX. The BMW CCA chapters here in TX have grouped up to host an HPDE in June at COTA along with Club Racing being there (ought to be a blast despite the heat). Schnellfest happens on occasion too. NASA typically hosts HPDEs during their race weekends with the bonus of being able to start the progression if you are looking to get into competition at some point (time trials, wheel to wheel).


Again welcome to TX & hope you enjoy it here!
