106mm Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 For those of you who are just hearing about this, there has been an ongoing effort to establish a standing-mile race in Wilmington, Ohio. Street and race vehicles of all types (motorcycles and cars) get a full mile to see how fast they can go. It's not unusual to see cars and motorcycles going well in excess of 200 mph during an event. The http://WWW.WILMINGTONMILE.COM website is now in existence. It was originally used for an audio/video presentation to city officials and Port Authority members in Wilmington and Clinton County, Ohio. Those officials are now contemplating the pros and cons of an event in their town. http://WWW.WILMINGTONMILE.COM now has a place for you to make comments and get on our email list. I'd like to see comments from probable attendees, something about you and the people who would attend the event with you. I'd also like to see why you would like to see this event occur. No personal information will be seen or used by other parties, this is just for Wilmington officials and us. http://WWW.WILMINGTONMILE.COM will eventually be a forum for discussing all aspects of a possible race in Wilmington, Ohio. A RACE HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED. This is simply a method by which we can gain some detailed information about possible participants and spectators. Let's take this opportunity to show the foilks in Wilmington that The Wilmington Mile will be fruitful for everyone involved! Thank you in advance and feel free to post this in whichever forums you choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWW$HEEET Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) I hope Wilmington seriously considers this. With their recent economic situation losing businesses like DHL, etc, they could certainly use this boost. cross posted to bimmerforums,com and ohiobimmers.com Edited February 1, 2011 by AWW$HEEET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Davis Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I hope Wilmington seriously considers this. With their recent economic situation losing businesses like DHL, etc, they could certainly use this boost. This is so true. Living here, I see it daily. This community could use a draw like this. It could have an impact on so many levels including the local lodging, restaurants, and many of the local small shops. Sean, nice to see your support and how actively you are taking this on.
