Texas Mile – March 2010
Posted in cars with tags 1 mile, Goliad, Paul Tracy, speed, Tanner, Texas, Texas Mile on April 4, 2010 by AutoSpottersWe were fortunate enough to be given media passes to the March 2010 Texas Mile.
The Texas Mile is a semi-annual event held in Goliad, TX – population 2017, and shrinking undoubtedly, at Goliad Air Park. The airport has two 8,000 foot runways, one of which is like the city – decaying and inactive. The other runway gets closed down for 6 days a year – 3 days in March and 3 days in October – for the Texas Mile.
The Texas Mile is a one mile drag strip to find out how fast you can push your vehicle in a standing one mile.
If you are a car nut, speed nut or just enjoy sunburns, then the Texas Mile is where you should be! Where else will you see a turbo with nitrous Suzuki Hayabusa going 200mph while fighting a 15mph cross wind, looking for a top speed of 260mph? Where else will you see a Ford GT go 249mph and be disappointed it was not 250mph? Where else will you see a Lamborghini Gallardo with a parachute?
Go to their website to find out more info on participating. http://www.texasmile.net
Thanks Texas Mile and crew. We will be back in October.
