Don't count on there being a Buick/Ford Shootout in Texas this year. Due to extremely unreasonable conditions set by the Texas Motorplex, the annual club race (not a Shootout) was moved to River City Raceway (San Antonio, April 28). This was arranged very recently, and keeps this event at a 1/4-mile track in Texas. I haven't heard anything about plans to find a venue/date for the Shootut.
