That's awesome you guys are cool with each other! Now you guys go back to the lab, and cook up some ungodly monsters and don't tell anyone anything! So there will be no guessing, bench racing numbers! Nothing! Just run what you brung! That would build a sh*t ton of suspense for the next event!

The AMS and R version Gallardo's (1550 whp) were very close in speed. I just went over some video and it was closer than I thought. They looked even other than Jamie getting the hit or his boost coming up faster. Hard to tell. That AMS GTR is a beast and it would make my job easier if they just left it at home for the next event
Stage 2 R makes 1750 whp.

I believe I was driving Ray over on the right side of the runway from his jet (in the Rhino), right as Jamie and Ivan were racing by the pacing area/signal light. It was a VERY cool vantage point, that I wish I could have got on video. I'll see if that could be an option for next year. I believe on that particular run, Jamie got the hit, per Ray.

Why not use the same strip used in the Texas Mile.

i saw a couple of videos and damn! very fast cars!
Congrats to UGR on the win with a brand new built car!
Did you find out what happened to the white GTT? i read somewhere that the tranny started making noise so you parked it to be safe and check it out... It is crazy how stout these cars are given the fact that the owners are beating the hell out of them since the Tx2k12!

The new Texas Mile track in Beeville is not near as nice as Goliad. The only benefit right now is that its longer and closer to the city. Otherwise, Ellington Field or something along those lines would be a MUCH better choice.

Soon, we have been waiting for our billet diffs so that we could launch the Gallardos. That wait is over later this month.
We also have a new platform that we will be racing from a dig. Something far more advanced than the Gallardo.

Congrats to UR and team Tag/Bill.
We are looking into making adjustments with safety still in mind. Currently the field is 4000ft, we have to work with what we have for now. With your cars as well as others they do keep pushing the limits. FYI, We actually shortened the "hot zone" of the runway by 125 ft from when you guys ran it on saturday.

The aventador launches hard as hell! My brother is buying one and all I can say is wow in stock form! I can't even imagine when you guys incorporate your ubsurd power to one! You better start practicing the breathing techniques used in f1 and f10 racing for lateral g's! Cause that bad boy is definatly going to pull some g's in a strait line!
