Heads Up Standing 1/2 Mile Airstrip Event March 24th, 2012!!

17 and counting so far and we are still a long ways out! We let the participants decide the running order. It works out much better than us doing it we promise! The link below is to our Facebook Photo Album of the people who have registered so far. 2 pictures are missing though a Dodge Viper heavily modified and a Porsche 911 Turbo convertible with a few upgrades! That's why you only see 15 pictures.

Tks, will likely sign up...how long is the shut down area? At what point do you require a roll cage?

Shutdown area is a 1/4 mile. Highest speed we've had is 175mph and they stopped fine. We don't require roll cages (unless you have a convertible and drive top down), just helmets and that you pass a tech inspection.

This is a dumb statement but you are aware the Texas Mile is on this same weekend?

Yes, we area aware. However, this date worked best for us and we are actually far ahead of our registrant numbers compared to our last event at this point in time. Texas Mile is an LSR certified event which means you're much more restricted to your speeds, classes, etc. Plus the cost is 3-4 times what we charge. The choice is obviously up to you! We feel racing other cars versus yourself is much more exciting though!
