***Texas Mile Update!!***

Anyone that wants to keep updates on whats going on please feel free to add to this thread.

Late Model Racecraft just went 233mph on first shakedown pass. This is currently the quickest pass of the day.

Going to try and make one more run today on the same boost level to get more data and then turn it up tomorrow.

Hope the weather is cooperating down there. In my little slice of Texas, it's perfect. Lite winds and mild temps. Run safe, fast, and have a great time. Wish I was there

Still nice to see the LSX platform on top above the lamborghinis and ford gts(for now) lol. And in a 4th gen camaro to boot.
Our Vette has same capabilities, just saving it for a Different event next month.

Looks like us and Henessey ford gt are going to try again in morning. Going to get interesting. Good luck to the entire Henessey crew!
