Thats somewhat close. We did drive from Dallas. My car and his car. My car is a 01 Formula that was running mid 10's there. WE ended up making over 600rwhp the friday night before and drove to Baton Rouge to stay at a friends house. 600rwhp was made on stock heads with a single .067 jet and a W1 cam.

The trans let go (stock 4l60e with a sy4000) after we made a few passes at TR. I towed him all the back home on Monday behind my car with a tow strap from Baton Rouge to Dallas with my W1 cam and TH400. Thats HARDCORE!

LOL

Hey Mike, how are you man? I'm doing fine. The car is running great. Thanks for asking. Yes I see there is a big change in Royse City. I'll have to give Sean a call. He did a good job on my car.
