The Texas Mile - Automobile Magazine
Where everything is bigger and nothing is fast.

You have to admit that the idea of drag-racing is pretty kooky. Why would you pay good money to go to a quarter-mile track when you can accomplish the same thing for free every time you see a traffic light turn green?

Seat Ibe - By Design - Automobile Magazine
