The main reason for going is for Formula Drift. We went in April to Long Beach and it was awesome so were mainly going for that which is on the Friday and Saturday.

I've done some research and found a drag strip which the Street Outlaws should be at (they're on TV) which is one of the evenings. Live bull riding another evening, and were going to visit Gas Monkey Garage and Dennis Collins.

Just looking for any suggestions others may have

Most of those reality TV places have a showroom or such like nowadays. Probably sells the t-shirts and stuff. Same for Counts Kustoms and Pawn Stars.

Pretty much that. Just go round the showroom, and they've opened up a Gas Monkey Bar as well there, so got to be worth a visit!

10 replies and nobody mentions the single most important attraction in Tx??

Dealey Plaza: Sixth Floor Museum.

Drive/walk around it also.

One of the most fascinating places I've ever been, it looks almost exactly as it did on 22/11/63
