Texas Mile in October

I know it's 4 months early, but I was thinking about it this morning on the way into the office. Who's going to be making it out this time? How many 996's are we going to see trying to break the 200mph barrier?

Also what safety equipment do you need to do that btw?

Hi.. Well as you know Eddie and I will be there! As for safety equipment you will need a 4 point cage with race seat(holes thought seat for belts). 5/6 point belts, Fire extinguisher, full race suit with shoes, gloves, and helmet. That is if you plan on going 175 and over!!!!

I just want to see the magical 200mph number. I know it's going to take me pushing these turbos to the max to do so! Which won't be that bad because hopefully by then I'll have my motor

Hi we are all after that 200mph....... It is not as easy as you would believe...
I hit 200+ in the mile with a 50mph roll on! Tim
