I will be going out on Saturday to just watch. I will probably drive the E out there. Can't wait there should be some new top speed records this time. I am keeping my eye on the V12 supra also can't wait to see if the diesel mustang will break his record again.

I already invited my father who is in Australia at the moment. He told me that he would like to make it out for a day.

With that said, which day will most of the 55K'ers be out?

Shardul, PM me your paypal.

I'll be in San Antonio, but if I can get off of work, I will come out in one of our rental cars. Doubt you, or Enterprise would like to see their Yukon run in the mile, so I'm simply be spectating.

Don't contemplate this just go. This is one of the best car events in the country. The weather looks like it will be great for Friday and Saturday with the lows in the mid 60's and highs in the low 80's, and a chance of thunderstorms on Sunday. My guess there will be new records broken on Saturday.

Yeah I've been before, it's absolutely amazing! I'm just contemplating whether a lot of our home camp cars (Dallas Performance is where I have all my cars built) will be going to this one as they've opened up another date in may for this year as well as the normal october one. Trying to figure out accommodation also as beeville can get pretty full! Haha!

That's awesome the weather is looking good, I think I'm gonna go ahead and head out, wish I had bought a pass, would love to find out what the e55 could do!
