No Texas Mile thread?

Did I miss the thread?

Who's going?

We are heading out there Saturday. How's the parking for spectators? I'd love to be able to back my truck up and watch from the tailgate.

I'm going out this morning. Today will have the best chance for mph because the wind becomes a direct headwind tomorrow.

I'm with Brandon, it's an awesome event to either race in or walk the pits if want to see some bad *** stuff and need exercise. Some times they side by side racing which is cool to see. But the majority is kinda like watching a car go down the freeway. You really need to compete in it, or have a buddy running in it. Still fun for a day trip though.

Is your Vette an FRC? Throw the cooler in the trunk. I seriously doubt they'd check for one.
