Motorsports in houston
by ridermirv
Howdy,
Houston is not a very exciting town, but it is big. If you need to be within 30 minutes of Spring, your best bet is to stay near Greenspoint and the airport area.
If our interested in shooting, there are indoor ranges around, just look in the telephone book. If you want to go fishing, I would recommend going to Galveston. You can charter a boat, fish in the bay, or off a pier. For motorsports your choices are limited. There are drag racing strips, dirt bike tracks, and dirt oval track racing, but they don't race every week.
Here's some racing links:

How about Mexican? Well, alright then....
by topmarmot about El Charro
This is our local Mexican. It's in a strip mall and there is not much ambience to speak of, although there are a couple of singing waiters. This is a restaurant with a lot of regulars, many of whom come for the Margaritas. I usually imbibe the Grand Gold Margarita. This is a very "efficient" drink; from experience I limit myself to a maximum of two.
The food is good, though not spectacular. I enjoy the Diablo Shrimp and the Snapper.
Tip: if you shop at Kroger locally, your till receipt will likely have a $5 coupon on back for this restaurant.
Battleship Texas
by selket_20
This was a great find! We had originally planned to spend a couple of hours and ended up spending the better part of the day. Located just across from the San Jacinto National Park, the Battleship Texas allows you to take a self guided tour and explore the last of the Dreadnaughts. They have restored a large part of the ship and are continuing. You can explore much of the ship, even the engine room was open.. I must admit that I chickened out after I went down to the first Catwalk.. it was kinda creepy. If you can make it all the way down, Kudos to you. :)
