TX2K14 has proven to be one of the automotive events of the year – all weekend long we’ve been watching videos and information fly by on the ol’ Facebook feed – and perhaps one of the most well-attended events was the Night Meet at one of Houston’s purveyors of horsepower, Late Model Racecraft [1]. The Late Model gang opened their doors to the public for this one, showing off some of their creations to the public.
[2]During the meet, the LMR team spends some quality time on the dyno with a number of vehicles, turning up the wick on a GTO to the tune of 424 rear-wheel horsepower, a Viper that pounds out 587 horses and 793 foot-pounds, and even a supercharged Corvette that hammers the dyno for a max torque reading of 1,500 foot-pounds.
There’s a large assortment of all types of machines shown from GT500s to Corvettes to Vipers to CTS-Vs – and in the process, we get to witness the obligatory ‘leaving the lot’ shots with a burnout thrown in for good measure. One voice can be heard in the video stating ‘Whoo-ee, so much ‘Merica’, and we have to wholeheartedly agree.
In addition, there are up-close and personal shots of some of the LMR girls hanging out in the shop – you know the ones, the girls that have become Interweb famous though the use of GoPro technology and some of LMR’s quickest street-going machines.
All in all, a complete celebration of all that is good in the automotive hobby – go ahead, watch the video and see if you don’t agree.
