3/6/10: Mojave Mile Shootout
Mark your calendars. The following appears to be a done deal. :rockon:
MKM Racing Promotions ( http://www.openroadracing.com/ ) is very excited to announce what we hope is a new permanent racing venue in Mojave, CA. We have reached an agreement with the Mojave Air and Space Port, a private airfield, to host our Mile Shootout event on March 6, 2010. This facility features a 12,000’ runway which will allow for very fast speeds (250+ mph) and a comfortable braking margin. Since Mile Shootout racing is already very popular in Texas, the Midwest, and the East Coast, we look forward to being the premiere site for Mile Shootouts in the West.
The Mojave Mile will be open to both cars and motorcycles, and, depending on its success, is forecasted to be held multiple times per year. MKM is developing a dedicated website for this event, http://www.mojavemile.com, to host all of the information related to the event, including a forum discussion board. Watch for this site to become active in October 2009. In the meantime, mark your calendar!

Runway 12-30 is 12,500 feet long, 200 feet wide. Given the facility's day job: a hub for aerospace testing, the facility is, of course, reported to be in excellent condition. :agreed:

Hopefully, these events will continue to proliferate across the country, providing a legal, if not safer, environment in which to use more of the potential in modern vehicles, both stock and modified.
"The track will be a section of runway exactly one mile (5280 feet) in length. One vehicle at a time will be on the track. Electronic Timing triggered by laser beams will be used to determine speed. The “speed trap” used to measure speed will consist of the last 132 feet of the one-mile track. Running order will generally be “first come, first served.” Entrants will use a semi-standing start with an approximate 20-foot prestart box. (This is to avoid, or at least reduce, the stress and breakage associated with “drag race” starts.) There will be no pre-run or warm-up burnouts allowed, and starting burnouts must be kept to a minimum. Elapsed Time will not be measured, only Top Speed. There will be a minimum 0.8 mile slowdown area after the speed trap, with as much extra runoff as possible. Upon returning to the Paddock, each vehicle will stop briefly at the timing station and receive its speed slip for the run.
At this event, all vehicles must leave the pits, enter the grid, stage, run, and return to the pits under their own power, without outside assistance (except in case of breakdown). Vehicles that aren’t self-starting, or those that require a starting crew, recovery crew, pushing, or towing, can’t be accommodated at this time. Motorcycles may be pushed to the start line if desired."

EDIT:
BTW this is NOT cheap
you have to pay to play
fees are about $235 per car/driver

235 isnt bad for someone blocking off an airstrip for people to do *semi* standing mile runs on. i would love to. altho the balt would hit 105 and stay there long before then, damn base models. and thats if your car will hit 150 in the standing mile. i know the challenger srt8 barely did. on salt tho. probably better grip on this. hell maybe either way good luck to anyone trying
hell i just noticed something else. reign, bury skippy.
