Got-Boost? Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Just curious who on here would do it if there was one closer? If so, what would you bring and what would your goal be? How much are you willing to pay to do it 2 or 3 day event (Fri, Sat, Sun)? $100-200-300? For those that don't know what I mean, it would be a 1-mile drag race with a 3/4-mile shut down. There are a few people working to get this done, just curious what the take on here is and if it would succeed? It would be similar to: http://www.texasmile.net/ http://www.milemarker-1.com/ http://www.mojavemile.com/ http://www.ecta-lsr.com/ (If a mod could make this a poll, that would be great!) Poll: Yes No- why? I would at least come watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAWDAD Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I think I would like to try it. Not sure what I would be willing to pay. Seen it was $360 for a 3 day event at the Texas mile. My car would probably go 165-170 (guessing), it traps 129 in the 1/4mile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWW$HEEET Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 $250 Id probably build a car, or swap in a 2.93. Idk what my goal would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3.1cutlass Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I would do it just for the hell of it. I think somewhere around $200 for a weekend would be fair plus some rates for daily runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Fuck. Yes. $200 and I'd like to see 200mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawboy1647545515 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I would build a bike for it and participate often proved costs were inline or a little more than Texas or Maxton (-transportation). I would say good luck finding a place though because I put out a lot of feelers for this years ago when the ECTA was just getting off the ground and no place was even at all intrigued by such an event. The TRC that Honda now owns came the closest to showing interest but they said the high speed oval is in such a poor state that they don't use it for high speeds anymore.

Buckeye1647545503 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Texas is on my bucket list so this would be a no brainier. I have a feeling my little me's would hide at about 175ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I would, daily rates would be better though. I don't know how many people want to do an all weekend deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Absolutely, this is a no Brainer for 99.9% of CR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Borgen Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Absolutely, this is a no Brainer for 99.9% of CR. i m not even a fan of straight-line showdowns and I'd like to see this happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The oval rarely sees speeds over 99mph if that gives you any idea of it's condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linn1647545492 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I would love it as I am considering driving to TX for the mile event. I would like to hit no less than 185 on motor and break 200 on spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc1647545523 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I'd be willing to give it a try. I think $300 would be reasonable. Stock it'll do 155 mph in the standing mile. Chipped to 660 hp, I think it could do 165 mph. James May "showing 'er the whip:" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Thank you for the poll.... Glad to be getting such great feedback so far, keep the thoughts coming. I already contacted TRC and they won't allow a competition event since they are non-profit. I hoped we could just rent one of the 2-mile straights but they said they would have to pretty much shut down all oval testing and the price would sky rocket. There is another venue being worked on, they are waiting to hear from the County Port Authority to see if they will allow it. So far they have been very open to the idea so fingers crossed that it keeps pressing towards an actual event... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got-Boost? Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I would, daily rates would be better though. I don't know how many people want to do an all weekend deal. Depending how the details are worked out, if it's like Texas there will only be a certain amount of entry's allowed so people will be able to get more runs. If there is an unlimited number then you spend the entire time waiting in line and hardly racing which = NO FUN for anyone. Texas started out with 160-entries and then as people went home/blew up, whatever, they kept a stand by list. As people withdrew the people on the standby list were then allowed to race. Personally, I think a 3-day race is a MUST have because most people coming from out of town need the extra time. It also gives you more chances to run, test, tune, etc. if you have a problem and have to fix it overnight (for those not local). The problem now is Texas has gotten so big they are up to 260-entries (over 300 with standby list) and it's made it very hard to get runs in. Before you had no trouble running 20-25 times during the weekend. Now it's down to 10-15 if you are lucky. Even the big guys are down to just 4 or 5 runs which kind of stinks. I'll post more as we get info... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Yes. I would only see about 177.32mph but I would pay about 150 - 200 to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil8 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hell Yeah, I might even break 100mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I'd do it just for S&Gs. So I guess I'd vote for $100. But then I'd probably only be there for one day. (have a one-day fee?) If it became a regular thing, I might get a little more involved down the road. (no pun intended) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
