6Speeders at The Texas Mile 3/2012
It's that time of year again. Which 6Speed members are going this year either to participate or watch? http://www.texasmile.net/registratio...rylist&event=8

If you are registered, let us know so we can hook up and post results here. Off the top of my head Mullet, Bailey and I are racing.

I'll update this thread with results throughout the Texas Mile Weekend March 23-25!


UPDATED VIDEO at the March 2012 Texas Mile.

BHT and Bmoores 2009 (TTBoost, TopGun and KPG in the background)

Less than 96 hours until the Texas Mile and my car is in pieces..New BBI coolant fittings are on there way. Also, we ordered the Billet Crank pulley from Evoms. And I finally installed my Hans on my helmet and my Carrera GT seats.

BBI Pulley compared to stock. And it weighs considerably less.

Turns out the pulley pin was sheared as well. The pulley was about to come off anyway on its own.




BBI Billet fittings welded into place. Car will be going back together today.
