Yes! The Texas Relays are going on down at the UT campus. I'll be there tomorrow. It ends Saturday. It's a mixture if high school, college, and invitational races. Good stuff if you like track and field.

Just watch out for the fights.. :) They are shutting down Highland Mall due to all the problems they had the last few years due to the relays.

Yeah, it seems that the crime rate explodes at Highland Mall when the relays are in town...

Theres also a fairly large remote control car race going on up off 620 this weekend if you want to try shooting something different. Will definately test your panning skills.

The races don't take place at Highland mall. There are not fights at the relays themselves. Besides, the mall will be closed during this Saturday.

If you like track and field, go to the Texas Relays. It is an event with high level track athletes and it is well organized. There is usually room for you to watch all events from just about anywhere and capture pictures.
