THE TEXAS MILE IS BACK!
You are invited to:
Compete for the best of the best in your class.
Set a record in Texas.
Back-up what you have been saying on the street with a documented official speed.
Test your equipment and prove something to yourself.
Heck, just come out for a good time!
WHEN: May 21-23, 2004 - Season Opener
We will host a three event series this year with the season opener being May 21-23, 2004.
This will be a points series. So, you can compete to be a series champion as well as a record holder.
Registration and Tech are being planned for Friday, May 21.
It will be in the City of Goliad where the community can be involved in welcoming you.
Competition will begin on Saturday, May 22 and run through Sunday May 23.
WHERE: Goliad Industrial Air Park, TEXAS
As stated in the March issue of HOT ROD Magazine:
"....the runway of the Goliad Industrial Air Park is sufficiently remote to compete with the desolation of the famed dry lakes and the partially concrete, 8,000-foot-long, 200-foot-wide surface is superior to that of the somewhat crumbled asphalt of Maxton. The Texas Mile should become a top venue in land speed racing." Furthermore, we, the creators of The Texas Mile, foresee it to be a premier competition for street sports cars and motorcycles. It is like running on a straight 1 1/2 mile section of open highway without the fear of tickets and jail time.
30 minutes from Victoria, Texas;
1-1.5 hours from Corpus Christi, Texas;
2-2.5 Hours from Houston, Texas;
1.75-2 Hours from San Antonio, Texas;
2-2.5 Hours from Austin, Texas;
3.75-4 Hours from Waco, Texas;
4.75-6 Hours from DFW, Texas;
WHAT: High Speed Record Setting on a Mile Straight with a little over half-mile shut-down area!
WHO CAN COMPETE or TEST:
* Street Car/ Motorcycle Division
* Land Speed Racing Division
* JUST need a place to test or want to see how fast you can go? We have track time for you as well. We have had many inquirers from LSR competitors, drag
racers and other racers that want to utilize the weekend for testing purposes. WELCOME!
* Attention Drag Racers: Great opportunity for you to test. Check out the additional timing resources we are providing.
TIMING and 200 MPH Club:
* Official Speed for all classes will be calculated by a speed trap located at the last 132 feet of the mile.
Reliable Timing (www.relaibletiming.com) is providing precise Tag Heuer timing lights hooked to a speed meter and a crowd display.
The location of the crowd display is to be determined, but it has numbers that are six inches tall and will show the official speed.
* Additionally, we will have another timing system that is set to provide split times from the start to the 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile and full mile. This information
is not for official scoring purposes, but has been requested by participants as useful information. Participants wanting this type of information will
notify us via their entry form and a $10 administrative fee will be assessed.
* 200 + MPH CLUB
