I have not missed a an event since the Texas Mile began in 2004.
www.texasmile.com I have more passes down the track than any driver there over 6 years and twice a year.

In the video you will see me there petting the engine after a 163mph run. then again I have a tune and the limiter reset.

 

Mohave Desert (+174 MPH) - Super flat, well paved roads, excellent visuals, desolate....

Texas Mile (169.3 MPH) - A very safe, timmed event...

 

would anyone be interested in a timed zero to ???? one mile run? I was thinking of doing something like this at our airport for charity...it would take awhile to put this together, but I think it could be done. I will do some checking, and see if this is possible...our local executive jet airport is expanding it's runway to 2 miles...this should be enough for people to shut down after the 1 mile run...the taxiways would be available...I don't think they would allow us on the actual runway...any interest here in the midwest?

 

sounds great doc. are you going to open this up to the public or keep it to the forum? being open to the public you can expect to see the likes of the ford gt that ran 247 mph and soulsearchers sl600tt which hit 197mph. need a massive runout lane! collier county aorport has a 10,500 ft long 150 ft wide runway that they use

 

150+ anytime I see a Slow Children at Play sign

 

the sign was meant for you nick!!

 

I always wondered about those signs... I never see any slow children... they are all running around like crazy (or krazy)....

 

There are some very expensive cars in some of those hangars already...and I will have over 12,000 ft available I believe....but, probably not the runway...and probably will be limited to 4hrs, and the number of participants as well...it's just too busy an airport to shut completely down, but it is county owned, but managed by a private company...so, it is at least worth looking into...
the company I pull for, has plans for a new corporate hangar, for their helo, and lear...during our 3 day field event held for their customers, I ferried everyone from the airport to the event...and back...our jet and a charter brought in 50 people a day, but 8000 attended field days altogether...

 

Forget whether the SRT6 hits 155, 158, 162 or 167.879.... How does it handle and feel at those dangerous speeds? Well planted? Is the steering really light at that speed or does it weight down somewhat. Does the wing add sufficient downforce to keep the wheels tightly planted? That's the information that would be good to disseminate to those not trying to get to those lofty limits.... especially at NIGHT like that one user...... Even in Texas, one armadillo or possum on the road could spell disaster at 100+...... and your headlights wouldn't even illuminate him in time to avoid or stop.... I don't have those kinda *****.
