SPEEDRIVEN | SL600 / Oct 2010 TX Mile Pics
.

This picture was taken by one of the Marcins at last weekend's Texas Mile, a few hours before the Lamborghini Gallardo crash that (along with high winds) the Oct 2010 Mile will be remembered for.

The 3 Speedriven cars are shown in the photo above (including the 197.7 mph standing-mile record holder, center), and I'll be posting more 2010 Texas Mile photos to my flickr account throughout the day ... hope you enjoy!

Out of curiosity, do you offer a tune that will just remove the 155mph speed limiter?
