Texas Mile
I also dont know about the press coverage. I guess it is possible but when we won last year we were in no less than 8 Magazines. I do however understand that it is a totally different crowd. I do want to come out and put on a show and show all you haters that we can build more than just drag cars. I will have pics soon of the aero package that we are putting together for this thing.

no one is hating...just hoping to see more variety of cars there competing.
dont forget that the winner of the event also ran a 7.9 with the same car in the 1/4 mile with a true 6 speed, (not one of those straight cut gears)
Well SpeedTV, Streetfire, the Houston Chronicle, and many other magazines have covered the TX Mile. That is also why Car & Driver, Motortrend, etc. do articles on standing mile, etc. I've never seen an issue of Motortrend or Car & Driver with full out drag cars featured. Don't consider this a dis or anything because you do build some of the baddest cars out on the street here in Houston, but if you want to expand to the level where you have cars coming in from around the world to be built it's worth getting your name in a magazine like Motortrend, Car & Driver, Dupont Registry, etc.
My point is race cars can only get you so far, and if that's all you enjoy then that is fine. I just know you do awesome work and are completely of capable of building things like this:
Which I know you will make more money on hands down...

lol I know you guys weren't hatin. Alot of what you guys are saying is true. I do love the fact that we are being compared to companies that have been open for 10+ years more than us. However we do have SEVERAL customers from across the country attending the LSX shootout that are counting on our support at the race. We have to uphold our promises to the guys. It is also a plus that we won last year and are going to win again this year. As for the mile, we are looking for other places that host a standing mile event such as the MAXTON mile to attend. We love to travel and show the rest of the country how texas rolls. Any info would be greatly appreciated. As for the pic of the twin turbo lambo.. Why in the hell would you use silicone couplers on a 200k plus car

Well if the weather predictions are correct - y'all are going to have a 10mph tail wind. Not as good as the tail wind in March but, will allow 5-10mph faster speeds than normal Texas mile conditions.
See y'all there.
See y'all there.
Hope to see lots of LSX cars out there.

This weekend is going to be perfect too...... Oh well I'll be at the next one. Its in march right? The GTO is already commited to the LSX Shootout..... Didn't know it was the same weekend till I book the flight.
There will be several TT Gallardo's at the mile from what I understand. I don't think many will be participating though. The underground racing G that I saw looked amazing
