MKM Racing Promotions ( http://www.openroadracing.com/ ) is very excited to announce what we hope is a new permanent racing venue in Mojave, CA. We have reached an agreement with the Mojave Air and Space Port, a private airfield, to host our Mile Shootout event on March 6, 2010. This facility features a 12,000’ runway which will allow for very fast speeds (250+ mph) and a comfortable braking margin. Since Mile Shootout racing is already very popular in Texas, the Midwest, and the East Coast, we look forward to being the premiere site for Mile Shootouts in the West.
The Mojave Mile will be open to both cars and motorcycles, and, depending on its success, is forecasted to be held multiple times per year. MKM is developing a dedicated website for this event, http://www.mojavemile.com, to host all of the information related to the event, including a forum discussion board. Watch for this site to become active in October 2009. In the meantime, mark your calendar!

Runway 12-30 is 12,500 feet long, 200 feet wide. Given the facility's day job: a hub for aerospace testing, the facility is, of course, reported to be in excellent condition. :agreed:

Hopefully, these events will continue to proliferate across the country, providing a legal, if not safer, environment in which to use more of the potential in modern vehicles, both stock and modified.

Anyone here planning on going? I'm no where the caliber of some of the participants but would love to get a baseline of what my new setup can do.
