Heading to the Texas Mile
We are starting out to Texas today. Will be in Beeville TX Tuesday night. Will be setting up the timing equipment Wednesday/Thursday. Racing starts Friday-Sunday.

From there we go to Illinois, Michigan, Tennessee, Georgia, and then head West to home plate. Looking forward to the GTG in TN. see you guys there:-)

Will be trying to take as many side trips along the way as we can after TX.

Had a great run for the last 2 days. In Demming New Mexico now at Rock Hound State Park. Not sure how far we go today but so far we are a bit ahead of schedule which I like. Probably will get near San Antonio by this evening. Very heavy this time as I have more equipment with me but the Breakaway is handling it well.

Hello JKB, We should be in Illinois Apr 26-27, We are stopping in Branson MO, on the way to IL, so it may be a day later than the above dates. we have to be in Howell MI area the 30th or 31st. Then down to the TN GTG probably thru Dayton OH if I have time to stop at the AF Museum. We plan to be at GTG Apr 4th. The only solid days are in MI for Easter.

We are very flexible at this time.

Finished the Texas Mile Sunday night. We had over 1200 runs for the three days and had a new record speed of 267.6 MPH set by the same Ford GT that set the previous record of 263.3 MPH. The engine blew just after the mile.

The last run of Saturday was a bit stressful, the "worlds fastest Camaro" (263.2 MPH in October) went airborne after the 3/4 mile marker and was completely destroyed.

The driver received a few cuts and bruises and was released from the hospital that evening. he went thru the 1/2 mile trap about 198 MPH so he probably went airborne about 230-240 MPH.

We are in Denison TX now heading to Branson MO. this evening. Still on schedule for TN GTG.

Was the Camaro red? Inquiring minds need to know.
