WJ'S HOUSTON RACEWAY PARK IN A NUTSHELL

"If we get any sort of a break in the weather, we could see some very quick times. Of course, I've been there when it's been 100 degrees, and I've been there when we had an ice storm that postponed the race.

"Otherwise, the atmospheric conditions in Houston are quite similar to what we faced in Gainesville. It's so close to the Gulf, Barry Bonds could hit a home run into it from the race track. Even though the track was basically built on a swamp, they do a good job of maintaining it, so the racing surface is usually pretty good, other than an occasional bump here and there.

"The only thing that we're not particularly fond of is the Friday night qualifying session, simply because it gets so cold that dew forms on the track and fogs up the windshield. The air may be great, but the racing surface just doesn't hold the performance under those conditions.

"Overall, it's not a bad facility, and we usually get a good crowd, so we enjoy racing there."
