TX: Texas Region Spring Paradise Trek
April 29, 2023 @ 10:00 AM – 3:30 PM
The Texas Region of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) invites all fellow car enthusiasts to this Spring Paradise Trek in Denton and Wise counties. A Trek is a non-competitive driving event on scenic country roads. There are no questions, puzzles, tricks, traps, or timed controls, just a fun (and stress-free) drive following a pre-determined route using a “convoy style” format. We’ll provide basic route instructions as a backup only. All are welcome, and no prior rally experience is necessary.
We’ll set out from The Horny Toad Café & Bar in Denton, then wind our way on twisty back roads, some of them within the LBJ National Grassland, ending in Paradise, Texas (the town, not the state of mind). We’ll stop for a group picture at one or two sites along the route. For added fun, we plan to stop along the way to visit Eagles Canyon Raceway (ECR), where we can briefly tour the facilities, observe cars on track, and enjoy a quick lunch at the Over the Top Bar & Grill.
