I'm a big fan of Stadia. Decent food, usually have good weekly beer specials.

Thought I don't think they will be used to a bunch of AMGs taking up parking spaces...probably a sight to be seen.

For everyone going to TX2K12, stay safe, have fun, take pictures...

A guy did a burnout in middle of crowd in a mustang and then was quickly arrested by cops then crowd started rioting throwing stuff at the cops.

An Srt 4 flipped out on the highway, a motorcycle and a mustang almost hit each other on the highway, those are a few things I found from quick "TX2K12" video searches.

Some idiot also threw a beer bottle at the cops.... That'll shut a party down in a heartbeat.

An AMS Alpha 12 pepped up called "Alpha Omega" ran a new record 8.63@172. Looks like from it dancing around there is another tenth or two in it.


Also saw they dynoed 1600whp now a little over a week ago getting ready for the event I suppose.

Yep that guy definitely just **** all over the interior of that GTR

Reminds me of this old video of a twin turbo Ford GT a guy had that used to be local to me. A local shop built it and they were testing at a track in Georgia and the shop owner looped it and kept it out of the wall (beginning of video sneak peak and at 17:30).

That sounds surprising to me that you pulled car lengths on a pullied and bolt on GT500 I could be wrong but I am pretty sure that Jake was meaning the same thing as in expecting you to lose when he said that couldn't have been pretty. I guess it depends a lot on the size of pulley he had though and if he had a tune and what his other bolt ons were but I would expect it to be a car that could trap mid 120s in the 1/4. Your car showed a good 119mph trap so it definitely moves well but I wouldn't expect a GT500 with the mods you mentioned to fall back, but be even or slightly ahead. Anything can happen though, should have had a camera with you being at the biggest street race meet in the U.S.!
