I would like to plan on attending this event but as time marches on it'll become more difficult to schedule. I hope a date is picked soon...  |

OK, I got a Date, but little else. Considering this sport is about the Worlds Fastest Stuff on wheels, it's ironic how slow everything moves when you are trying to organize it.
We race on August 1 & 2, 2009, tech and set up on on Fri ,July 31.
We are trying real hard to get up a website to give all the info before Christmas, please bear with us.
We have not decided on the exact length to the timing traps, probably slightly under two miles.
That's all I got, hope it holds everybody interested over until we get out our Site. Hang in there, this WILL happen.

Bob,
Even if you have the length why not use a standing start mile like Maxon and Goliad? I would think that comparing class speeds among the three would help to put together a unified community.

Texas '09 March 28/29 Oct 17/18 See you all at Loring. I'll be up seeing my Mother in NY around that time, so I'll show up. First one down the track is guaranteed track top speed, at least for a little while  Bill |

A mile would let speeds be compared to Maxton, Goliad, and a timed mile on the salt, but 1.5 would just be a sweet thing and may draw more people. I know it gives me extra incentive to make it way up north. Bill |

I would suggest a set of clocks at the mile for comparison, or maybe even Mile records and the 1.5 for the "need for speed"  |

There isn't any timed first mile on the salt -- at least not at SW.

Bill I went to the Texas Mile web site and don't see anything for 2009. Are those firm dates? |

I would really like to see a timed 1mile AND 1.5 mile.
I wish Maxton and Texas would have a measured half mile speed (I think it would just help give everyone more information for each run). Drag racing has all kinds of measurements that are recorded and that's for only 1/4 mile total distance...
