When In Dallas: Eat Tacos, Get Gas

IMG_6935.jpg


During each Buckeye football road trip this season, “When In” will share the story of a unique local dining experience.

The Ohio State football team’s first road trip of the season takes them to north Texas, home of AT&T Stadium and one of the most unusual dining experiences you’ll ever have.

Fuel City opened in 1998, and offers the usual assortment of truck stop amenities. You can fill your car, wash it, or grab a drink at the convenience store.

You can also feast on some extremely good and reasonably priced gas station tacos.

Fuel City Tacos is a 24-hour operation, selling a menu of five types of tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. If you’re there in the morning, you can also sample their four-item breakfast taco menu.

We first discovered Fuel City during the 2017 Cotton Bowl trip, and it quickly became a staff favorite.

The tacos themselves are quite good; I’m partial to the Barbacoa and Pastor, personally.

But you can’t beat the the price and 24-hour access to those delicious tacos. At $1.62 each, the price works out to $7.00 with tax for four.

Well, how was the trip? Any of y'all make it to Joe T's or the FW Stockyards?
Just glad to see you staying around.
My brother-in-law and his family live in Richland Hills. Just visited them this month. Thought about the Stock Yards, but we kept it simple and had Chapp's. Decent burger.
There's a bad ass Molcajete Jalisco to be had in Waco though (been there on business in Hillsboro).

I’m staying relatively close to the stadium, so I suspect I’ll mostly be in Arlington, but I think imma try Joe Ts.

Then I gotta hit Specs to get some decent brew and bourbon to make the Cannonball Run home on Sunday.

Did you beat the record set by these guys?......:biggrin:



'Cannonball Run' record broken with 27 hour, 25 minute cross-country drive

speed1.jpeg


It’s a record that doesn’t officially exist, and legally can’t be broken, but a team has obliterated the legendary “Cannonball Run” mark by driving across the USA in 27 hours and 25 minutes.

Road & Track first broke the news that cross country racers Arne Toman and Doug Tabutt, along with spotter Berkely Chadwick, left New York City’s Red Ball Garage just after midnight on Nov. 10 in a modified Mercedes-Benz sedan and drove to the Portofino Inn in Redondo Beach, Calif. -- the same start and finish points used during the first “Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash” in 1971.

They weren’t taking part in a competition, although both drivers had before. Toman tells Fox News Autos that he’s made the run five times during illicit transcontinental events, but this time it was a solo effort specifically designed to break a record set in 2013, when Ed Bolian, Dave Black and Dan Huang completed the route in 28 hours 50 minutes, which was over two hours faster than the previous best time.

Toman has a background in the performance car business and now runs an Illinois CNC machine shop and a clothing company called Crook County. He chose a silver 2015 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG for the trip that he removed the badges from and strategically covered with tape to make it look as non-descript as possible, while tuning it to 700 hp and installing a fuel cell in the tank for extended range between fill-ups.

Toman also added an array of electronic law enforcement countermeasures – radar detectors, laser jammers, police scanner, etc. – that included a thermal imaging camera mounted to a gimbal on the roof that was used to look for police cars parked on the side of the road. Waze and an “underground” speed trap app provided crowdsourced intelligence, while 18 scout vehicles rendezvoused with them at points along the way to drive up ahead and check for speed traps, traffic and other obstacles.

They followed the so-called northern route along I-80, I-76, I-70 and I-15 at an average speed of 103 mph, and hit a top speed of 193 mph at an undisclosed location.

Toman said it was an uneventful 2,825-mile drive without any close calls, as far as accidents are concerned.

Love the VIN Wiki episodes. Some seriously good stories in there. This is a good one.
