Texas Mile Rollcall for this Weekend

[Hennessey Performance]

It's been a while since I have been to the Texas Mile. While it would be fun to run a FGT there this weekend, I am stuck driving my daily driver CTS-V wagon. I am hoping that it will break into the 160's in the mile.

Anyway, I was just checking to see which FGT owners and enthusiasts are going to be in Beeville this weekend? I am there for Friday and Saturday morning. Please stop by and say hello if you are coming. Thanks.

I will be pitted near our 2 FGT customers.

I know what you mean. A 160mph station wagon is sooooo boring Love the CTS-V wagon, particularly yours.

 

[Mullet]

I'll be there at 2 pm Thursday thru Sunday afternoon and ready to rumble.

 

[MarkH]

We will be there as well and all I have to say is, you better bring a big pair of gloves to rumble with. In fact, you might want to bring Soroush with you to help.

See you at 2m!!!!

How do you guys feel about the new surface? Safe to run high speeds?

plus they just had an earth quake there this morning. 5.0 on the scale :0

unless they have repaired it since last time, I would not consider going back. I might go on sunday to watch

mark, jason doesnt need me, his head is big enough for the both of us.

Come out to the GT only Mojave event. They resurfaced the runway it should be real nice and long too. Not too late to sign up.

too long a trip to make for one event, trust me I would love to but Im just too lazy! and then there is the transport fee as well, just doesnt make sense, plust there is no side by side now for that I may have to reconsider

Skyrex is the man in charge, if anyone can get a side by side he can. The runway is more than wide enough.

 

[Mullet]

I'll give an update on the surface tomorrow. Shannon said there are no bumps anymore.

 

[2thDr]

The only bumps were from the wake turbulence from my unholy runs........

 

[twobjshelbys]

Any interesting results?

 

[Outkastscc]

Hmmm..

 

[Mullet]

Hmmm..

que the dueling banjos music.

 

[nota4re]

But, but, but.... the duct tape looks so cool! The confidence has to be pretty high.... no need to lift the clamshell between runs to give it the once over or let it cool....

Go take him, Mullet!! Mullet, Mullet, Mullet!!!

 

[Mullet]

I couldn't get my GT to shift into 5th under load. No good runs this weekend for me.

[Hennessey Performance]

My CTS-V sport wagon ran 189.7 mph on Saturday morning. Then I drove it home (about 175 miles). Overall, the new location for the Texas Mile is very good for guys running up to 200 mph. For guys wanting to run over 200 and especially over 230 mph, there are a couple of bump / dips that make running flat out for the entire mile a bit more challenging.

 

[BlackICE]

I'll give an update on the surface tomorrow. Shannon said there are no bumps anymore.

Seems like that is only true if you go slow enough.

 

[Mullet]

yep. I guess I need to tell Shannon to have me go out there and run flat out to test the improvements.
