Thanks Neil. Its long, at least 1/2 mile.
. 
. Congrats to the Hennessy car & crew.
Todd, Congrats again bud. Glad you finally got the shirt. Took a little longer than we'd hoped but you did it!
Mike I don't think anyone deserves a shirt more than you bud. Way to stick with it knowing the car could do it.

Thanks for the support guys. This weekend will definitely go down as one of my most memorable to date. Running 200+mph in the Texas Mile has been a goal of mine for a few years ever since my first 996TT (tip). I was unsure that the car would even be ready to run after blowing a coolant fitting on the road course at MSR Houston just a week before the Mile. BUT, Steve Ott and his crew at DriverSource came through and put the car back together the day before I had to leave for Beeville, TX. I can't give enough props to the best shop in Houston hands down. Also, big thanks to EVOMS and BBI for shipping out parts at the last minute. And finally, Protomotive builds a great car!
It was a great pleasure to hang with 6Speed legends Tommy Banh, Topgun and JoeTwinT. All of whom have crushed 200++ at the Mile and were a big help in the Grid.
I was lucky enough that Mike Bailey ran his 200 very early on Friday because he put his "crew" cap on and assisted me the rest of the weekend. BIG thanks Mike!
SPEED Channel's "Mobil 1 The Grid" filmed the run and interviewed me and I'm sure my answers make me look like a total tool, but it was fun.

Congrats Todd and to all who hung it out in Beeville over the weekend. Here is the fastest man in Texas - Sean Kennedy as he hangs it out in Mark Heidaker's Ford GT:
