Talking Texas Mile Pics

This event was pretty cool. Had never seen it before. I was planning on racing but didn't get car prepared in time and ended up just spectating.

I was supporting the Autobahn crew, they were out there trying to protect their street car record of 228 mph in the mile.

The weather wasn't the greatest but at least the rain held out for people to get runs in.

Autobahn eneded up running couple of 226s.

Boostlogic showed up with SW driving and went 229 in their first pass.


The white older porsche in the pics went 220, sounded sick.


The Dallas viper ran 214. I didn't see him on Sunday so he must have had problems.

Wish I could have gone to this.

I was at Lonestar for the last 60-130 and it was a good time with Craig, the Powells, etc.

Bunch of cool cars in those shots....
