The Texas Mile 3/2013

Went to Beeville, Texas to watch The Texas Mile. It is held at the old Chase Naval Air Station in Beeville. Got there Friday afternoon. Checked into my room at the Motel 6. Made my way over to the event around 2pm. Took a lot of pictures of the vehicles that were running the mile. The run is 1 mile for your qualifying. Then you have a 1/2 mile to shut down. Had several that made it to the 200mph club. This is a sanctioned Land Speed Record event. One made a record pass of 267.8 mph. this was the fastest of the weekend. It was Ford GT that was a Hennessey Motor sports car. If you ever get a chance to watch it don't miss it.
