Texas Mile, anybody registered or going to watch?

**Winters98GT** · #1 (**permalink**) 09-23-09, 12:35 AM

Is anybody heading to the Mile this year? I know of 2 stangs and one ls3 car going from San Antonio. LMR from Houston should be there too. I'll be out there watching this year, if anybody from the Texas area wants to go, let me know, it is real neat. I'll be there Oct. 17th to watch again.

I would definitely be interested in going! I bet Patrick and the boys from PSI will be going. Last year Patrick's GT500 ran a shade under 200mph i believe....

Anyway i should be home that weekend...pm me with some details and maybe we can work something out

for sure, ask around and see if anybody you know would want to go. I figure we could meet up and head out around 10am. I can pick up a small bbq grille if we get a group together.

I'd hate for my mustang to put a hurting on that z06 Mark

I haven't been on SN in quite some time--It's difficult to know my work schedule as of right now though might be something worth checking out.

hey Maddox! Good to hear from you! How's the car?

Let's keep this thread going to try and round up as many people as possible.

I would love to go! Where is it at?

Also, LMR is in Waco not Houston.

**Winters98GT** · #8 (**permalink**) 09-25-09, 06:00 PM

Laser, it's in Goliad. How far out in the sticks are you? Aren't you by Dallas?

LMR is in Houston

Late Model Racecraft

It's really become a big hit, it draws a much bigger crowd each year. A supra holds the record at around 250mph, if I am not mistaken. You can bet that the fastest cars around will be there, a lot of fast cars have their spots reserved. Registration is now closed. There should be plenty of 200+mph runs this year. It's going to fun to sit back and have a few beers at.

Im south of Dallas about 40 miles off I-45.

And when you said LMR I was thinking Late Model Restoration.

From videos and pictures from ones in the past, it is an oppourtunity to see vehicles perform that you generally only hear about. People come from all over the nation for this event

**Winters98GT** · #11 (**permalink**) 10-12-09, 02:55 AM

Well, none ofyou dbags have confirmed with me! The mods still won't lock my account after I pm'd all of them, so I am forced to continue to post to those that I know and are not 14-16yrs. old, or do drive a car.

Let me know if you want to go, it's this week! I'll be going! Heading out at 10am Saturday, weather permitting. Let me know where you want to meet.

Id love to go mang but cash is a little tight right now.

Please take many pics and post them.

**Winters98GT** · #13 (**permalink**) 10-12-09, 04:36 PM

Damn Laser! It would be nice to meet up and slam a few while we watch some cars.

Maddox, Deftsound. Are you guys in or out? I'm going, got the tripod/video camera(have no idea how to work it) and a badass Nikon Camera my business partner is letting me borrow.

Also, I'm buying the steaks and beer for any stangnet member that goes!

**Winters98GT** · #14 (**permalink**) 10-14-09, 02:17 AM

Update,

Officially, No BBQ pits/grills allowed. However, Peter Pan, and a few other guys that helped get the Mile going, told me they are not strict on the pits. Coolers are officially not allowed, but my car will be packed with beer, and you won't get kicked out for having one. From one of the videos I have posted here, and the word around, a lambo is going to probably set the record on Saturday(excluding drag cars). I've heard 255-260 which is updated. It's 150 miles from Houston, and way less from Atown and SA. Let me know if anybody wants to see the fastest street cars in America. Cars will also be coming from South American/Canada and all over. I'll bump it again if no more replies before Friday

That is something I would definately like to see some day! Maybe I'll take a couple days vacation next year and come down for it.
