  • Texas Half Mile Weekend

    Some pictures of this years WannaGoFast Texas Half Mile event in Sulpher Springs. Lots of fast cars, some not so fast cars and some surprise runs in the Cobra from time to time where it outran cars in the quarter that it had no business out-running. The whole crew there was great, the event was great and the lunch time airshow was really cool with the pilot of the biplane having some huge nards. Wish I could have got a video of it but the phone did not want to cooperate. Made a lot of new friends because racecar people are just cool like that. lol I really look forward to next year when I can bring a car that will do over 142 in the half.
    Also, holy hell were there a crap ton of Cadillacs there!

            Happen to see how fast that white ZL1 went? I heard mid-160's on the first pass spinning through 4th gear. Curious to know if they hit their 175 goal. Tons of really cool cars, looks like a blast.

              The white one that I have the rear passenger 3/4 shot? If so I ran him and knew he had to be spinning bad because I expected to stare at the tail of the car the whole time but beat him to the quarter and he shot past me doing about 30 MPH more and then pulled the laundry on me. lol
              Pretty sure it was upper 170's.

                    I would guess they will post them this week some time. This is the page that will have them once they are done.

                          No, it has not yet been completed. Its all together but there is some issue with the TCU properly commanding the transmission. 8 week build is on week 21 now. I hope its completed this week some time.

                              Slid and went off to the left side of the track and jumped a few feet in the air into the ditch. Car was able to drive out. Driver is fine.
