the Record Run was getting underway in Fort Stockton, TX and 24 hours later, on March 2, 1990, the Corvette ZR-1 had set several new world records. The event was especially significant in that the record run was achieved using production cars, a feat that has not been repeated. Also significant was the record run occurring on the 154th anniversary of Texas' declaration of independence and on a personal note it was the 50th anniversary of my parents' marriage not too far from Fort Stockton.
