Battle Creek Speedfest and Battle Creek Field of Flight Air Show & Balloon Festival bring you the first 1/2 mile standing head to head shootout of its kind. Here we will see some of the fastest cars in the country, as well as a few from Canada.
We will be running on one of the taxi ways, which is 7,400 feet long. Participants will have 4,500 feet to shut down safely after the run. There will be 3 sessions throughout the day - one in the morning and two in in the afternoon. We will be limiting the number of participants each day so that there is a possibility for participants to do multiple runs in each session. Motorcycles are welcomed.
This event is the only one like it in the country, and will be taking place concurrently with one of the largest air shows in the US. Over 100,000 spectators come out to see all of the festivities including live music, carnival rides, various family games, and many more. We will be running throughout the day on center stage in front of all spectators.
Leading into pit row, we will have a vendor row, where manufacturers will be able to display their products. There is also where all spectators are welcome to see the participating vehicles up close and interact with participants.
Since this is being held in conjunction with an air show at a working airport, we will need detailed information from each participant to comply with airport security.
Event will be held Friday July 3-5, 2015.
Participants: $50 per day or $125 for the 3 day weekend
Admission: $10
Parking: $5

GREAT event! Best $50 ive ever spent! I'm in for next year!
The police escort thru the city was only the start of a fun day with friends and cars.
Had one big problem......some people don't know how to keep their hands off of other people's property.
Thanks for the heads up Deb. BTW...you and your son did well today! Nice to see your beast laying it down.
3ACROWD brought his "A" game also.

So much fun
Cap, EJ, Sean and I repped #vettenation at the Half mile Sunday for some epic runs! Think we have some new #trackaddicts in the group. We really got the VIP treatment. Airshow was cool too. Only bad part was Sean's car-not happy with GM on that
Thanks to all who came out all weekend Can't wait for the next event! Getting my number was
