1/2 Mile drag racing event in Sulphur Springs this past weekend

Some friends and I went to the Sulphur Springs 1/2 mile event this past weekend that is just about 40 miles from home. It was way better than I expected. It was actual 1/2 mile drag races down the air strip of cars side by side.

Got to see some pretty cool cars up close like the Porsche 918. I saw runs for this car in 204mph range.

But.. the coolest was several Lambo Hurracans that ran 210, 217, 227, & 228. That was hauling in a 1/2 mile race.

Saw some near misses from a few cars getting sideways mid track. One Lambo did run off the end of the course and slid sideways into a pole. The owner said.."that is just a few grand to fix.. an engine loss would be closer to 200 grand."

Then... we saw one of the Lambo blow an engine and was a massive fireball down the strip.

All in all.. was a good time and will attend again next year.

Thanks for the heads up! Would be cool to go. been wanting to attend the Texas Mile for years. Softball is always in the way.

I did too...it is just so far to get there.

BTW.. There were more CTSV's there than Corvettes.
