Texas Mile this weekend
 

Did anyone go to the opening day at the mile? If so, post up some video.

David

There is always tons of video and pics on 6speedonline forum about as fast as it happens.

Sitting in the timing shack now. Big red is here. Blue pro-touring 1969 camaro is here. Some really fast cars. No top records set. Truck record, vette record etc broken however.

I will check it out.

That blue 69 camaro belongs to a friend of mine. Other than fuel it was exactly how he drives it all over. It went 195 MPH with a stock body and nothing other than tape for body mods :yes:

Haven't dug through any pics yet, but is that the Buckner Blvd/SpeedTech 69?

Yea I handed them their time slips when they came by! Very cool guys. I chatted with them quite a bit at the mile.

Tell them the timing guy said, congrats on the times!

Ok did some digging. Owner is Keith and owns "Speedtek Performance."

he asked me to drive it around the track the other day at the goodguys event. I respectfully declined, lol. Im starting to regret it :(

forgot to add its a supercharged ls2. I think its pushing past 700whp

Supercharged with what? Magnachager, pro-charger, Vortech? How many CI is the motor?

I am pretty sure its a Kenny Bell S/C on a 408 LS motor. They turned he wick up on C16 for the mile but other than that its how he drives it all the time.

Hot damn! So your telling me it makes some torque down low... That Camaro is very good looking for the pics. Anyone have video of this beast going down the mile?

Its always been a nice car. The original 408 swap was done back in 01 or 02 way before it was popular. I drove it on a couple legs of the Power Tour back then and NA it was s beast. About 5 years ago he was having a little too much fun and it got into a gaurd rail pretty hard tearing up the whole front of the car. It sat like that for a few years and he finally decided to rebuild it even better than before. He went with AM front clip, mini tubbed it and added the supercharger this time.

That's the car I was thinking of. Keith.... I remember him from SpeedTek & I believe he used to work @ StuperShops w/one (or more) of my buddies.

He hired me in 92 right out of high school to bust tires and was my boss with Super Shops for many years as I worked my way up in the company. He was a regional manager.

Yea 408 w/ LS6 heads, KB 2.8 (non-mammoth). Said it's about 750-800 how it was running this event. Had same wheels but hoosiers on it for the mile I believe.

Had pretty nice looking interior and stance. Think I heard it had Heidts suspension.
