ATTENTION Racers and Performance Enthusiast!!

We (NASA Texas) have been conducting road race events in Texas for the last three years. An operator of a retired air base has agreed to rent us their facility for hosting a one-mile high-speed shoot out. We are all interested in finding a place to “run” legally. Here is the chance to prove what you got and run wide open.


Also, we are seeking businesses that want to support the event through being a tech shop, contingency provider and/or awards supporter (through gift certificates, product and cash).



Here are some of the basics: THE INAUGURAL TEXAS ONE-MILE HIGH SPEED SHOOT OUT
WHEN: Oct. 25-26, 2003
WHERE: Goliad, Texas (abandoned NAVY airfield)
STRUCTURE: 120 foot roll-out, 1 mile run with radar speeds being primary determination of victors backed by timing lights for tie breakers, ½ mile for shut-down
WELCOMING: Motorcycles, Performance Street Cars, Race Cars and Vintage Cars

DRIVERS and RIDERS: Get the Chance to Join the 200+ mph Club of Texas; Win Trophies and Certificates. Working on providing contingencies and cash prizes.

A MOTORSPORTS FESTIVAL: Fun, Safe, well organized and legal. A Full Weekend of High Speeds, Other Festivities and Entertainment.
Car Shows. Beautiful Event Hostesses. Wheelie Contest. And More. JOIN IN ON THE FUN.



We are posting updates on the event at: http://www.nasatx.com/highspeed.asp
Please contact us with any questions: Thanks: Jay and Shannon Matus: 281-802-9863; Deanna Lewis: 817-243-2286; [email protected]

hehe...yeah I figured that out...thanks!

This sounds like a blast!! and it's only 134 miles away!!
Entry is $135..cheaper than a speeding ticket for doing 160mph+

 

[Bingo13]

I changed their link also. I am going. I like this a lot better than the drag strip. I got my single engine license when I was 16 so it might come in handy if I cannot borrow a rear wing. ;-)

 

[haskett]

Sounds like fun.

What is the "120 foot roll-out" and how does it differ from the 1-mile stretch?

 

[roushraven]

I really would like to do this, I hope my schedule will be open.

 

[coleman]

well? who's in? ... i'm trying to find time to make it down there but this high-speed competition :chicken:

 

[roushraven]

I left a message at the contact number for further information but didn't get a return call. I would like to participate but I need to know what happens in the event of rain or high winds. Also, does anyone know the current condition of the airfield? I have seen many abandoned runways that had too many cracks in them to be safe for an event such as this. Need more input!!!!

PM Bingo13. He seems to be in the know. :thumbsup:

 

[roushraven]

Thanks I'll give it a try.

It is back on the car, sort of. I can get ahold of the guy who let me borrow it. My car is sitting in the DSF lot for awhile now.

 

[coleman]

Bingo13, i'll wager that my car will be in the shop longer than yours! ... :lol1: ... :cryying:
