Home page. Every year in Houston, TX there is a gathering of some of the baddest street and race cars in the country, for an event called TX2. K. This year marks the 1. The four day event gave racers two days of Roll Racing and two days of Drag Racing, and four days of fun. The T1 Race family showed up in force The first event was the Roll Race, where you have two cars pacing each other at 6. For qualifying in the Roll Race, each racer makes single passes, focusing on start speed and leaving at a predetermined start flag. The qualifying ladder is based by trap speed. The top qualifier was Mullet in his UGR Gallardo, with over 2. Our own Ben Haynes wasnt far behind and ended up in the second spot in his GT1. R Series 6 build with a 1. The slowest car in the Unlimited Class was a 1. Ben worked his way through the ladder, running consistent 1. Mullet. Now we mentioned earlier that the race is about who gets to the finish line first, but the qualifying is about who has the highest trap speed. Trap speed is a good indicator of horsepower at the top of the track. ET is a good indicator of traction and average power. While many of the GTRs dont make the horsepower of the bigger twin turbo V1. Lambo builds, they do make very good use of the power they have. In the finals Ben was able to hold off Mullet and take the win, in a great race that ended with less than a car length at the finish line It was a good day for the GTR in the never ending Lambo vs GTR battle. Hats off to Mullet, he took the loss like a champ and came and shook Bens hand like the gentleman that he is. Saturday morning was the start to the drag racing, which all of the T1 Race family was very excited about. We had a lot to show, with a few cars that hadnt seen the track in their current configuration, hoping for new personal bests across the board. Dan brought out his daily driven GT1. R Series 3. 5 build to see how it would fare on drag radials. Coming into the event his best time was a 9. Michelin tires. As the weekend progressed and we got things dialed in, he got quicker and quicker, ending with a 9. How To Install Afr Gauge Wrx 2017 ExteriorTony Pasek also brought out his time capsule GT1. R Series 3. 5 build. Unlike Dan, Tony has a lot of track time on his with drag radials, and it runs 9. Every freaking time for the better part of two years. Until this race. With the good air we had and the excellent track prep by the TX2. K and Houston Raceway Park crew, Tony finally got his 8, with an 8. GTR Class 2 Moving up to GTR Class 3, we had Tuan hold the torch in his GT1. R Series 5 build, fresh with a new Motec M1 upgrade and no track time. Much like Tony, Tuan has battled the 9. Not this weekend though, Tuan knocked that 8 out twice in a row with his first two passes being 8. With a little tweaking on the ECU over the weekend we were able to get him an 8. GTR Class 3 win Ben was our man for GTR Class 4, with a strong 8. How To Install Afr Gauge Wrx 2017 SubaruUnfortunately his 2nd gear had had enough and cut his weekend a little short. Guess you cant get too mad about a gear giving up with over 1. Thats racing. We didnt race the roll race in the T1 shop GTR as we were saving it for the drag race event. Coming off a recent 2nd place finish and GTR record pass 2. Texas Invitational, and a recent new half mile GTR record at 2. Previous to the TX2. K1. 6 event the US quarter mile record was 7. AMS Performance in Alpha Omega. The current world record for the GTR is 7. Bahrain, EKanoo Racing. The first test hit with our new combo was Friday night, with a solid 8. All worked and that gave us lot of data to sort through for Saturday. Saturday morning we made our first hit after loading the new ECU calibration and it worked, 7. US record on the second pass of the car. Digging through the data was exciting, because it wasnt anywhere near all in We continued to chop away at that over the weekend, with a 7. GTR Class 5 and posting the quickest and fastest times for the entire event. More to come as we continue to figure out what the beast wants, with our aim set on the world record. To say it was a great weekend for the T1 Race family would be an understatement. With personal bests, wins, records, and a great time for everyone, you can be sure youll see us all back at it again next year Thank you all for your support and kind words. We met a ton of great people at the event and I dont think there was a time where someone wasnt coming by telling us how much they enjoyed watching our cars run and getting to see them up close and personal. It means a lot to us and were glad were able to put on a good show. This is a passion we all share, and coming to events like TX2. K and meeting people with the same passion is what its all about.
