Loring Timing in Maine is 1.5 mile (my car ran 175 bone stock in 2014)
Mojave magnum is 1.5 mile (no events in 2017)
Private events at Kennedy Space Center are up to 2 miles.

There is the Big Bend Open Road Race but I don't think there are any areas quite long enough for you to hit 200mph. Plus if you did you would have to bring it down so not to DQ yourself for averaging too fast.

yeah ive read a stock z takes somewhere around 3 miles to reach 200? so runway/1.5 mile events may be out.
so ill probly have to find something more like Big bend, silver state, Bonneville etc?
yeah i may have to get kicked out to get my 200 badge. ie last run of the day type thing....

If you're just wanting some kind of thing that shows your speed, just video your speedometer. Garmin also saves highest speed reached. If you're antsy about actually going that fast, change the tire size or gear settings in your tune before the photo.

AFAIK, any place that has rules you don't follow, including the max speed for your class, will not only give you an award/badge, but not a timeslip either.

not really after an official slip, GPS app will be good enough for me. gopros will be running also.
well im not after faking it, if im going to go through the trouble/entry fees/traveling, i want to legitimately hit 200. thats always been a goal. not faking it.
with that being said for the track(road course) i run a 315/30/18 square setup. which is only a 25.x" tall tire. vs the stock 26.x" tire.
i assume id be better off with the shorter tire, for better acceleration?
