so they will go down kings of goliad?
Doesn't kelly's camaro have a narrowed rear end and wheels with special back spacing so i would guess depending on what broke it might not run again this weekend.

Damn that camaro is catching he'll!
Wonder if it got a clean run on that 243 or still more left?
Guessing they got the rear end fixed up unless this is another camaro from them.

Heard bise's camaro blew the valve cover gasket out and coated the header with oil causing a small fire. So it won't run again til Oct. As for the blue car I heard it went 231

I think like the NHRA, the Texas Mile staff are trying to slow the cars down. A prevailing head wind makes high speeds a lot tougher and may keep some cars from having higher speed mishaps.

Tony, the entrance to the airport is on the north end of the track. Their is nothing to the south - designed that way for landing planes. So if someone brakes and/or chute fail they can go off the end of the track with as little obstructions

Fixed; I bet Rcc's glad he sold the car, still hasnt hit the 240MPH he wanted and cost 2 motors and a tranny trying. Im sure it will hit it the next time, then they can shoot for 250 and then the 260 they orginally wanted on the first trip out. If we would have kept doubling our money on the bet we might could retire in the next year
Oh yeah; Congrats on the record

If it is an active airport, they probably log the max headwind readings per day. It would be interesting to look at the historical data and see if it is always nasty, or this was an unusual weekend. If the headwind always sucks there, it will be difficult to have much interest with the big dogs. The cars that draw the crowds and the $.
