wagner Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I can only imagine the cost involved to make a car legal for this. I don't know I have heard the rules are kind of lax. I would be building something that is closer to what you would see out in the salt flats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hmm, might make me finally get off my butt and go stage 2 in the STI. :dumb: Stock top speed is hit in 5th. 6th goes much higher. Might be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 It'll be a blast being able to open 'er up for more than just a few seconds. I just hope there's a couple of miles of shut down. A couple miles of shut down for what? It's not like you own anything fast. :masturboy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Honestly, I have more interest in this than I do the 1/4 mile... I'll be out there giving it hell, for sure. Let me save you the trouble, 89.1mph. :dumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Orange Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 just some quick research, but at the Maxton Mile events, 130 mph required cage, 175 parachute. I would imagine, the need for a full fire suit, complete car fire supression system, etc. The faster you go the more money you can expect to spend on safety equipment (I know, duh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crummer Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 It'll be a blast being able to open 'er up for more than just a few seconds. I just hope there's a couple of miles of shut down. Looks like there is 10,701 or 9,000 feet of runway depending on which one they use, could be 11,901 or 9,400 if the runoff area is used. http://www.airnav.com/airport/KILN I don't know I have heard the rules are kind of lax.

Doc1647545523 Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Here's a short feature on trying to get four stock supercars up to 200 mph in the mile: http://tothefloor.com/200mph-in-a-slr-ferrari-lamborghini-mclaren-bentley-race/ Not as easy as some make it out to be.

My Camaro should be over 160 with the potential to be much faster. How's this supposed to get people to come out when anyone with a quick street car can break those rules?

Got-Boost? Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Yep, it's finally going to happen! Sounds like FOUR events for 2012...... A link of the current site/rules but hopefully things change: http://www.ecta-lsr.com/ As most of you know, if they are rule nazi's like at Maxton they are going to eliminate more than half of the people that WANT to come race. We'll see what happens as more info is released. From the looks of things, a LOT of people are going to be humbled at the MILE! http://www.wnewsj.com/main.asp?SectionID=49&SubSectionID=156&ArticleID=192769&TM=31007.08 The forum for people to ask questions and stuff under ECTA: http://www.landracing.com/forum/ The site forum: http://wilmingtonmile.com/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
