    Default 2012 Texas Mile

    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.

    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    For Robert, painter's tape will stay on at 183 mph. I saw it happen on a GTR.

    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.
