Things are coming together nicely, and we are just 2 short weeks away! I had the great pleasure to meet with the Sidewinders group last month, and am looking forward to seeing many of you come out to support our first event, both as volunteers and as racers. With the assistance of Lee Kennedy, we have developed a supplement to our rules for Land Speed racers, permitting them to tech and run under LSR provisions. Since our rules were primarily focused on more conventional cars and bikes, and didn't mesh well with LSR rules, hopefully, these adjustments will attract more of you who (quite understandably!) could not easily be classified otherwise. This rules supplement is posted on the mojavemile.com website if you haven't had a chance to see it yet.
We are now also permitting the use of recovery support vehicles for racers who wish to return to the Paddock without having to drive your vehicle back.
All of our procedures with the Airport and racer movement are ironed out, our timing equipment is ready to go, the food caterer is lined up (Domingo's), and we are looking forward to a fun and exciting first event, one of many we hope to run over the years to come. We are already making plans for our next event in the fall, which will be a 2-day event. For the fall event and beyond, we plan to reach out to the other Mile Shootout venues in the country to attempt to standardize classes and class records across the country to encourage participation everywhere for this exciting form of racing.
There are still Grid slots left! Please contact us at 702-614-6108 if you have any questions.
