NEW Texas Mile Record!

A few years ago when Jay and Shannon decided to host the first Texas Mile near Goliad, TX, they expected a few dozen racing friends, locals and family would come out for speed runs on the 1 mile airstrip in the rural countryside. However, much to their amazement, the little home-grown event almost instantly exploded into an impressive display of speed from some of the fastest cars, bikes, and unique oddities from around the country. Jay and Shannon hold true to their home-grown idea of hosting an event that brings together old friends and new friends twice a year, all of which share in a passion for things on wheels with motors and engines. To them, a person that goes 122 mph at the end of The Texas Mile is just as important as the person that goes 324 mph.

It’s simple really; a great location, excellent organization and an incredibly open enthusiast community has brought all sorts of eager drivers- from Land Speed Record professionals to beginners- to try their skills and wheels at a standing 1 mile run.

This year saw several records fall. Most notably, Team DeWitt set the new Texas 1 mi speed record at 324.967 MPH. In the street car category, Boost Logic hit 229.67 MPH in their 1995 Supra Turbo. On the bike side, Charlie Anstaett hit 240.192MPH on his 2004 Hayabusa.”

VRAlexander and EVOMS Set New CGT Record

Brought to you by VRAlexander.

VRAlexander, Evolution Motorsport and StreetFire's Jonathan Fambrough team up to capture VR and his 2005 Carrera GT win the TEXAS MILE standing mile record for the Porsche Carrera GT. Congratulations VR and thanks for sharing this moment with StreetFire.

EVOMS) staff tests the GT on the dyno and shows the test results. It's fun to watch the GT's back wing appear. It raises a little over six inches when the car achieves 75 mph then pulls back in flush at a speed reduction of 50 mph or less. Cool! Then we watch VR take the CGT out on the TEXAS MILE runway. Like the jets that normally take to the air off this runway, you'll watch and listen to the CGT wind out and win the record.

This is one of the sexiest cars I've ever laid my eyes on whether standing still or in the wind. You should watch VR's CGT Compilation or any of his video uploads. They are exciting, professionally done and show a skilled auto enthusiast at work and play.
