I seriously doubt that there's a better performance car enthusiast meet anywhere in terms of quality of the events and performance of the cars. Have you been?
Every year since 06..... Love the entire Texas experience!! The roads, warm weather.... Combined with supras... Vettes.... Vipers... Etc etc!! This year is turning out to be better than expected!! Lots lots of big players are showing up.... I just hope it doesn't rain!!!

The first try to start the car would boost the pressure in the system and then it would start on the second. I actually noticed the problem early because the car would spend longer and longer cranking before it started (ie a few seconds long). Then the problem got worse and the car took two tries to start.

That said, if your car isn't cranking... I don't think this is your problem.

Good luck.
my car cranks n starts but when the engine tries to find the idle the car dies!! If I try n hold the car from cranking n have the car turned the car starts without any issues!! It's not a battery problem....

LOL I guess it would be a good place to retreat from the NY weather this year! As far as I know there's never been any significant rain during the weekend going all the way back to 2000. I guess it's overdue. It'd be such as waste if there was persistent rain.

I'd also like to attend the TX mile race. I've had intentions of attending the last 2 of those, but haven't made it.

My roommate and I are going to try to go to one of those meets, just not sure which one yet.

Which ones are you chosing between? If between Vegas and TX 2010 Supra meets, then without any doubt you should go to TX. Not even close. If you're talking about between TX Mile and something else, then that's a matter of what kind of races/performance demonstrations you'd rather see. TX2010 is weekend after next. I'm contemplating going, but haven't decided.

TX2010 and the Texas Mile are the two we were trying to decide between.
