Does anyone know of a sanctioned location where you can legally run for top end on your Vette? Please no suggestions of isolated highways or the Autobahn. Thanks.

Here are some other options for legal high speed events

I ran my boosted C5 there to a mere 190mph and it was a blast

Wow I've never been that fast... Would like to give it a try one day though.

Top speed of a Stock Z06 is 198 MPH. Most stock Z06's only see 170-174 in the standing mile.

Running at Talladega and Daytona, a Stock Z06 will see 162-165 on stock tires.

You can also go to the salt flats in UT...one of these days, I will make it there.

Mojave Mile is popular in California.

Top speed or average speed?

Too many curves and dips

But I did manage 145 on the straight away at LVMS...also they have the silver state classic here, only place I know that you can legally exceed the speed limit on a state road, I believe beginners are limited to 95-150mph, unlimited class 160-190.

The Big Bend Open Road race has categories from 85mph to 140 mph average speed for 118 miles, plus an unlimited speed category. This years event (registration is full) is in two weeks (28 Apr). Looks to be a blast! For a stock car (OEM seat belts, Fire extinguisher and no other mods) the upper Tech Speed is 124 mph. I'll post a report when I get back.

Joe is talking top speed.

The Talladega event is "Vettes for Vets" and is a lead-follow format around the tri-oval of the speedway. Coming out of NASCAR Turn 2, you can open up a gap behind the car you're following and then let 'er rip down the back straight.

At Daytona there are several HPDE's in the fall, and they run the Rolex 24 road course.

So....neither place lets you get to top speed.

Charlotte motor speedway down the road. Seriously find a Corvette club that rents tracks for speed events. robleing roads, Darlington SC even road Atlanta ga.

top speed. but when you are doing 140-145 through the 33 degree banked corners, that's something you don't experance on a flat track, even at higher speeds. A stock ZR1 hits around 168 on the backstretch at Talladega.

OnPoint

Standing mile events are a blast.

You won't hit top speed, but you'll print some high numbers. I highly recommend it.

If you plan to run, get the SCTA rulebook and install the safety equipment, so you don't become a spectator when leaving the tech tent.

You might want to try El Mirage first. It's closer and they run more often.

I want to go to that one in Ohio, but it said anything over 135mph requires a roll cage...
