While I was offshore the girlfriend went to take photos of the Texas Mile competition in Goliad, Texas. While there she bumped into a car many of us here know. I told her she saw a legend. Said it sounded rediculous and always had a crowd. I believe in the standing mile it managed 204mph.

Onto the pics...

Yea I'm very sad I didn't get to go with her. Offshore has me away for a while yet :(

Yea I heard you had a few issues with the Supra but still setting a new record at 246mph is nothing to cough at! She also saw the red GT TT you had there! I look forward to seeing you again at TWS, I need to stop and chat next time! I was the guy helping Tony with his Viper last time at Drivers Edge.

She didn't know HOW "famous" Big Red was until I freaked when I saw the pics! She's a good girlfriend however who knows to take pics of the old cars as well as the nice new ones :)

holy crap, first thing I noticed was how high the carb is now and the new intake and spacer... then I saw the later pic with the new cowl hood. Car is such a beast, but I have to admit I liked it better with less cowl - just that much more of a surprise to see what appears to be just a hot rod clear 200 mph (assuming one isn't looking at the massive meats on the thing that is :lol: )
