Hey Red, congratulations! :beerchug:
Now, how does the Texas Mile work? -- I understand you have to target the average speed you will do the mile in,
and whoever gets closest to their prediction wins that category. Is that right? If you don't mind, fill us in on how the competiton works.

Thanks.

You can do it that way but since I didn't know what my car would do I just ran the hell out of it. To give a compairson a Z06 was doing 161 to my 157.... pretty respectable.
