Big Red’s Thunder: Dominating The Texas Mile With ‘The Bullet’. In 2009, Big Red made a formidable appearance at the Texas Mile event in Goliad, Texas, equipped with “The Bullet,” a single-carbureted 1,100-horsepower 598 engine. Despite its altered appearance, Richard piloted Big Red to a blazing 204.793 mph pass, securing a spot in the prestigious Texas Mile 200 MPH Club, while emphasizing the crucial role of the rear spoiler in maintaining stability at high speeds.
