Default Texas Mile
who has registered??


SW (the record holder )
Amit (second highest mph)
my buddy with his 1000hp++ supra
my slow *** Viper
I also saw Chris Powell

i heard there are a couple of TT gallardos coming to take the record away from the supras...and some Ford GTs are planning to run 250 mph...

i guess some of these high end Tuners are tired of getting beat by a car that was built over 15 years ago..




who else is going????????

LMR? ICON?? GFORCE?? i think there are only a few spots left...

Has any car broke 250 mph yet? I know the 'busa guys did years ago but haven't been watching it lately.

Where can I get information on the Texas mile? Could I run my (bolt on SS) or does the car have to be pre-approved?

190+ requires a 4-point cage I believe.

I think LMR said they are bringing out that TT camaro. Hopefully everyone wanting to participate is getting signed up so they don't miss out.
