Default Texas Mile

I live in San Antonio TX about 1 hour north of Beeville TX where the Texas mile is run, so I thought what the heck I'll drive down there and check it out today. All I can say is wowww, if you have never been to one of these events you need to go, it was amazing. I have never seen this many corvettes in one place. This event will be on my calander from now on, amazing.
