We should pit close, Louis (L.G.Motorsports) is going down with our group as well. They should be bringing one of their big race setups...
We're staying in our 48ft race trailer on site as well... we'll be pitted down by the finish line... look for the DFGD Racing stickers on the side of the trailer... We gotta keep the Corvette crew together!!!

Always good to go! If anyone is planning on entering they have a limit of 180 cars this time. Not sure how many spots are open and last time you had to be there for a 'class' in the morning to run that day. Don't know if this has changed but there were some people who were a bit mad and apparently weren't told this that arrived later.

We might be in. I don't believe there is anything else planned for that weekend.

Big... haven't seen you at any of the functions. Do you not roll with Kelly, Jackson or Danny?

Mike,
I would love to, but I'm in California working until the 23rd, leaving for the mile then headed right back... Hopefully next time...

How fast do you think I could get my plain old LT1 up to on the Texas Mile? Is it possible to hit 150mph?

Are there any other events like this in Texas? I have always wanted to get my car wide open 155+mph or whatever the stock LT1's do. A poster on here once mentioned a similar event at the air base in San Antonio where there is PLENTY of room to hit 200mph (not in my car obviously)-much longer runway. But they never gave any other details.

Where is the Texas mile located at I have heard about it but never where it was. Sounds like it's going to be a blast.
