Anyone heading down to Goliad this weekend to check out the 200 mph club event?

Yes. Its to see how fast you can get to in one mile, and shut down for a half mile. I went today, it was awesome seeing some crazy fast cars. I saw an FC run 170mph, and a LS1 FD run 193. Boostlogics Supra ran an impressive 243mph!! Fastest car of the whole event
