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!

It did run one 10.17 and then trans went south and ran a 10.30. After that we parked it.

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.
