We are at the Texas Mile at Chase Field near Beeville. There are a lot of neat bikes, neat rider and neat cars. Fastest speed we didn't see, we were at the start line, was 233 mph and change by this lady. The '63 Grand Sport went about 160 mph. Remember, this is the first of three days of competition.
Very cool Dougie! Keep the pics coming!
You only got 2 pictures? C'mon, post some more!!!
Patients, Grasshopper.
We are at the finish line. Already 2 cars over 250 mph. And a VW golf at 151 mph.
For Robert, painter's tape will stay on at 183 mph. I saw it happen on a GTR.
Didn't happen without pictures
Patients, Grasshopper. v2.0
Here are photos of the taped GTR, the VW, and the 250mph Camaro.
One of the fast bikes, his 1/2 mile speed and his 1 mile speed.
For the record... it's PATIENCE, Grasshopper....Quote:

Even Ms. Cone enjoyed the event. We meet a lot of nice people and saw a lot of great cars. I didn't really count, but I think at least half the cars were Corvettes.
I'm definitely going to try to register for the Oct. event. I think the cap is 200 drivers. I'm sure I can beat the New Beetle Diesel's 90 mph for the mile.
Most people had left by late Sunday afternoon, so the few cars left were almost hot lapping the mile.
I like the video of the Camaro losing his shit, then one-hand pimp steering it back into shape. What a tard.
