March 2013 Texas Mile, Who's going???
The March running of the Texas Mile (http://www.texasmile.net/index.php) is open and spots are filling up fast...
They have 220 spots in total and over 150 of them are filled already. If you want to run really fast and not worry about tickets here is the event...

what tires do you run for the events? Drag radials are dangerous at that speed right?

Yea very true. I've heard that it's the amount of time at such high speed. 30 seconds versus 7 I guess. Don't know just what I've heard regarding high speed blowouts

If you want to help out, come down to New Braunfels when we are tuning it... The last time, we had one guy in the trunk, and three guys standing on the four straps and were still spinning the tires on the dyno... It's an eye opening experience...
