Beeville is 30 miles southwest of Goliad.

Post by: entropy on April 07, 2011, 01:22:37 AM: you guys are nutty: CST vs CT....

In 10 years of living / working in Texas, i've never heard anyone use CST to say specifically daylight savings time.
We use "CST" all year around.

CT = Connecticut.
I believe that's a very small state somewhere East of Texas. May be wrong.

I really don't know why we don't just use TT (Texas Time)

Give Ryan a break.
Don't pick on him just because he prances around the pits in a pink tutu (and a mighty short one at that).

Do we know which runway and what direction that vehicles will run on the new track?

Thanks :-D

Post by: fredvance on April 07, 2011, 12:07:37 PM: Some thoughts after the final run has been made at Goliad County airport. No fatalities in the many years we ran at Goliad. Very few accidents that required a visit to the hospital. Thousands of runs made safely.The fastest run ever made, anywhere, on a sit on bike. Bill Warner, 1300cc turbo Busa, 278+. The track record,324mph by a jet funny car.
A big thanks to Ryan Arnold, Jessica, and all of the Texas Mile crew for the many years of providing us with a safe, fast place to race.
We look forward to our new home at Chase Field in Beeville!!
