speaking of top speeds...I've been driving a SRT/10 Viper engined truck the past week 
Big engine but in the end just a Dodge truck (though i wish it was the SWB manual version).
The thing scared the crap out of me. At a tad over 100mph all of sudden the seal on the windows goes "woooosh" loud enough to make me jump and lift. I was about to lift anyway for all of you that are about to scold me

Nah, I'll be thrilled if my little street car makes 180 (fingers crossed). The way I am geared it should be bouncing off the limiter in 5th right at 180. 6th is a huge jump and don't think it will have enough torque to pull from 4200?rpm-ish with 180mph worth of drag...... not in a standing mile anyhow.

Goliad has some hotels. I forget where my friends stayed but I'll find out.
I had planned on running my '11 Mustang but registration closed that first day and I was out of town that weekend w/o internet access.

It's my birthday weekend so I've got a free pass to drag the woman into something motorsports related. It's a tossup between the mile and heading over to Eagle's Canyon. I'm in Fort Worth, so if a DFW group does end up heading down then I'm game.

I'm heading out, with the 951, Saturday morning if anyone from Houston-metro wants to caravan.
2bridges - I'll look you up when I get there. Feel free to PM me if you need anything brought in last minute (parts, fluids, etc.) from civilization.
Anyone else?
