Hi and welcome. The meet he mentions in houston in October is the Lone Star Shootout. It will be at Houston Raceway Park, one of the quickest drag strips in the nation over in Baytown, about 50 miles from me, or about 25 miles from downtown Houston. It's 38 feet above sea level, and I think it is only 22 feet above sea level there in Baytown. Coupled with the humidity it makes for some wicked times. http://www.lonestarshootout.com/ There have been a lot of records fall over there, I think it was the first place someone went under 5 second 1/4 mile to name one I remember. Here are some others and the drivers and teams: http://www.fastmachines.com/archives/nhra/001773.php Should be fun, it is a state of the art track. This Lone Star meet used to be the Mopar Shootout years ago: http://www.houstonmopars.org/previous.html Eddie Stakes' Planet Houston AMX 713.464.8825 eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.planethoustonamx.com Email is currently HEAVY 5-12 day reply times, call if important ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike" <greybeard360@xxxxxxxxx> To: <BaadAssGremlins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2006 9:06 PM Subject: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: Ok.....
