About the Texas Mile

The Texas Mile has grown rapidly since our inaugural event in October 2003. Participants come from all edges of the United States, Canada and Mexico to test themselves and their motorized equipment on the fastest and most challenging 1-mile track in the world. They achieve their top speed in 1-Mile and shut down in a 1/2-Mile. This bi-annual Motorsports Festival is created for performance enthusiast - Welcoming Motorcycles, Performance Street Cars, Race Cars and Land Speed Racers.

Spectators enjoy seeing the cars and motorcycles on the track and visiting with the participants in the paddock. There are onsite concessions to enjoy while at the event. For more details, see the rules and regulations section for participants and spectators.

... Honestly, I don't trust my 370 above 120... Going 160 is this thing... Ehhhh, I'll leave that for if/when I get a GTR...
Correction, I trust it will get to 160+, I don't have the balls to be in the car while it's going 160, LOL!!!

LOL I've had mine 140+ many of times and hit 160 twice.

I don't promote high-speed runs on public roads;

Anyone interested?

I kinda am lol.

Been wanting to attend one of these for awhile. :nutswinger:

I've always been interested but can never make them because of work. We'll see about this time though maybe I can work it out

It looks like I'm going but I'm bringing the bike out.
