Actually, I don't think tire boogers happens at these tamer track events.  However, you get the gist - before they get dirty.

   The 2015 POCA Lone Star Fun Rally will run on a different schedule than
   previous years.  Registration will open on Friday May 15th with the Car
   Show that evening.  The Event will wrap up Tuesday morning the 19th.
   The shift in days of the week is to accommodate access to NASA and the
   Saturday/Sunday track event.
   The Friday evening Car Show, will enable the track oriented group to
   attend before their cars get covered in tire boogers.  Actually, I
   don't think tire boogers happens at these tamer track events.  However,
   you get the gist - before they get dirty.  Also, we thought it a great

   What ya think?

the entire family, La Torretta has the spectacular scenery and the shear
elegance of a world-class Texas resort.Guests will enjoy the finest
amenities while being pampered by a contentious, experienced staff.

perhaps reflective of De Tomasos changing hands to the next
generation.These younger Detomaso owners have begun to bring their
families to the event.La Torretta features an exciting program for
children ages 5-11, complete with their own private playground, and

a very challenging and exciting Par 71 course for all skill sets.

center featuring cardio, free weights, yoga, Pilates and spin studios --
complete with personal trainers, customized classes, racquetball courts
