Default FLACO shoutout in Automobile magazine

Just checking my latest issue of Automobile. They are featuring the Texas Mile....and there in the corner of page 67 is a picture and caption.

caption reads: "Standing among spectators, we overheard someone say. "watch that white pickup-it's a buddy of mine. He's going to do almost 200 mph." Uh-huh, 20 mph faster than a Ferrari (458 Italia)? Fat chance, we thought. Guess who was wrong? Flaco's 1999 GMC Sierra has a turbocharged, nitrous injected 427-cubic-inch V-8 that he says makes 1150 hp. Check out the black rubber dust on the back fenders-this pickup shredded its big ol' tires the entire length of the track."

192.9 MPH

Well done..and good job shutting up the magazine editors.
