We came, we saw, we conquered... and just like that TX2K 2021 is officially in the books! Vengeance Racing had the opportunity to showcase our offerings of reliable racing vehicles to the largest gathering of car/racing enthusiasts in the country. Along for the journey and participating in the event, we brought out some of the heaviest hitting VR builds that left their own mark on the racing community. Of the four cars that attended the event, 3 of them are now World Record holding builds!
Ned Dunphy was also able to join us with his world record holding Gen V Viper!! Ned qualified 3rd in Street Car Elite running 7.25@192 on 275 Radials and kicked off the Exhibition Class running a 7.15@195. Ned typically races on a 315 Radial Pro so we swapped tires between classes. Ned reset his record twice during the weekend running a 7.07@200 and backed that up with a 7.06@200!!!
Jason Leiva made the trip as well with his 6th Gen ZL1 Camaro. Jason qualified #1 in his Street Car Sport Class running 8.55@163mph. Jason took his ZL1 all the way to the finals and ran within a tenth of a second all weekend long!!! It was awesome watching Jason go rounds and represent VR so well. We obviously would have loved to see him take the W, but we're just as happy watching his ZL1 being put through the ringer pass after pass and not blinking an eye!! Jason has run a best of 8.40@164 and is currently the “Quickest/Fastest 6th Gen ZL1 Camaro in the world”.... Stay tuned, as there is more to come from Jason and his ZL1 in just a few months.
Gina McKinley aka CTSV-Chic made the trip with her twin turbo Gen II Cadillac CTSV. Gina recently changed up her entire setup and once it is all dialed in should run consistent mid to high 8 second passes. We were hoping to use some of the test n tune sessions on the schedule to make short work of this, but unfortunately were not able to due to the size of the event/schedule being adjusted so much. In the few passes Gina was able to make, she ripped off a couple of 9.50@150 mph passes on just 16psi with lots on the table. We have a feeling her 8 second slip is just one test session away!!
To wrap up the racing recap our owner Ron Mowen had the opportunity to pilot the Vengeance Racing Twin Turbo C7 Corvette for our great friend and client, Michael D Stout. The Corvette and Ron had an amazing outing at this event and brought home a World Record for VR. Ron had never driven this vehicle prior to the event further than a lap up and down our street prior to delivery, but his skills as a driver landed him a blistering best pass of 7.32 @ 195 mph, setting the current C7 Corvette World Record 1/4 mile pass. We are extremely proud to call him "Boss", and couldn't be happier seeing him behind the wheel of a 7 second vehicle.
All in all, this event left us with a ton of respect for the organization and effectiveness of the TX2K event staff in handling the immense amount of vehicles that attended the event in addition to the Racers of Vengeance Racing who worked so hard to achieve their personal goals. Our hats are off to Peter Blach for hosting this legendary event the way he does. We will surely be returning to TX2K in 2022 with a Vengeance!
