The Need for Speed

Got the need for speed? Hit the San Antonio Raceway with your honey and let the cares of the world fly by as you race down San Antonio’s ¼ mile racetrack. From their website, “San Antonio Raceway is a drag strip where all drivers are welcomed. Just outside of downtown San Antonio drivers of all ages and groups come out to feel the excitement of roaring down the ¼ mile.” If you don’t fancy getting behind the wheel, you can join the stadium that holds 20,000 fans cheering on the other drag racers. The raceway is located in a suburb of San Antonio at 3641 S Santa Clara Rd, Marion, TX 78124. The raceway holds special events throughout the year and the calendar of events can be found here. One exciting event that is happening at SA Raceway next weekend, February 25^th-28^th, is the Pride of Texas Carnival. Tickets start at $5/person and are purchased at the ticket gate. You can enjoy the carnival, food, racing, and more.

The raceway can be a fun environment for you and your spouse to connect and build a deeper friendship. According to John Gottman and Nan Silver, authors of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, “The determining factor in whether wives and husbands feel satisfied with the sex, romance, and passion in their marriage, is, by 70 percent, the quality of the couple’s friendship.” So have fun with each other, enjoy a yummy fried food from the concession stand, and cheer on the racers as they fly by and your friendship grows.
