I regret that I could not make it either. Wish you guys luck it's raining today and showing a 70% chance tomorrow. Sunday is suppose to be Sunny. I live about 3 hours north of the event hope there will be a return to the area in the future given the poor response and now weather. We hosted our first super bowl last year and everyone knows how that went. They say we may get a chance again someday. Hope it clears for you guys & gals and a big Texas welcome to the Lone Star state.

The current weather report indicates that it will clear up around 11am or 12 noon tommorrow , and stay clear through Sunday ..
So , yall should get some good laps in .

I have a few questions for whom ever knows. ---What is the spectator fee for Saturday? How many participants will be running on sat? Will they lets us run in the rain/wet?

[Carter]

Ok, I got one answer. They will be running in the rain... Should be a hoot with 5-600 hp!

For all of those making the trip, here is a well-kept secret, a local bank built a replica of the Alamo
(you cannot park or take pictures of your car in front of the Alamo)
But you can take a pic here without much trouble.
(I am not affiliated with the bank or anything like that, just sharing a nice photo location with other enthusiasts)


It is located in San Antonio, off Interstate I-10, just a mile or 2 inside of Loop 410 (smack in the north-central part of San Antonio)
I will attach the Google map link in a few minutes.

Edit: Here you go
Alamo Federal Credit Union
6577 First Park Ten Blvd
SA TX 78213

that DSE mustang sounded pretty wicked!

i never saw it w/ the hood up but it had a killer sound to it. wasn't quite SBF, definately wasn't LS based. had the wrong valvetrain noise to be a mod motor, etc.

definately not a mod motor from sound of it....almost got a solid lifter sound to it.....

Yes, they were on the track all day. The weather did not cooperate, with a light to medium mist all day. But that just made for some fun spins from what I could see.

[tommycomfort]

Holy Smokes, it rained most of the day, but we got plenty of track time! What a blast!

I don't know the Ford terminology, but it was (I believe) a new Boss 302 motor. That's what the intake said at least, and it had some Roush Racing components on it (fuel rails, thermostat housing that I noticed). It was a wicked sounding motor, I personally think it was the best sounding car I heard all day going down the straight at speed.

very impressive...be interesting in seeing the setup on the car...

[Tealm0nsta]

New boss 302 as in coyote motor? That would make sense.

You guys out there again today? Thinking about stopping by and watching for a while before we head back home.

[Carter]

Whooo Hoooo, what a hoot. I was so glad we stopped by. Thanks again Bill. Can't wait till next time! If anyone has pics of my car or others going across the "river" post them. That was cool.
