[QUOTE="sgt d, post: 8940567, member: 16215"] i went to the texas mile this past weekend and had a chance to meet alot of nice gt500 folks and i managed to meet a few members. this is a whole different kind of racing and for the most part it was uneventful. there were a few flames and one bad wreck but the driver was ok. a porsche that spun out around or before the 3/4 mark and was logged at 201 mph. jbstevens, a friend and member on here, with his compound tt ford gt set the record for the gts at 226 mph.:beer: i did not get to run until sunday, saturday i was lined up but a gt500 was shooting flames which ended up slowing it down until dark. i ran it out easy through 6th gear and had gotten to 175 mph. the second run i decided to let her eat and i was trying to cross the mile in 5th when i heard a tremendous pop, i looked in the rear view to see if i was smoking. came down the return lane and all was fine, decided to call it quits and drove home. that run was going to yield a very good mph in my mind so although i was bummed i still was excited to go that fast. i was suprised at how well the car was planted to the track at those speeds! all in all it was great and it was nice to meet van and john lund along with the crew from san antonio:beer: here is the link to my brother's shots and he has many more to process!
