The Colorado Mile is Labor Day Weekend. It appears the turnout will be lower that the Pikes Peak Airstrip Attack?

What is your targeted trap speed?
I did 151 mph in the 1/2 mile.
I hear you should trap 30 mph faster in the mile.

My car won't be ready... I also work that day.

It appears many people are not aware of this event.
They may have to market this event differently.

My wife told me about the event but I haven't heard a word about it anywhere else.

Here are some pics...




This last one (201) is not mine. It is Willie B's, the radio announcer in his C5 Corvette.

I was there Sat & Sun. Not as many people as Airstrip attack but still good showing.

My Z06 was plagued with traction and clutch problems (shifting) so the best I could get was My best was 176.4

Still had a great time. The GTRs were the kings of the event.

I updated this post with unofficial results from the Colorado Mile 2015....

Not sure about the Mustangs but the Red Ford GT went over 200. The
fastest GTR went 246.

FX VETTE

Very cool and impressive! Thanks for sharing!

Bgreenard

My best was 181.1 mph
Not as crowded as the 1/2 event in Colorado Springs but still well represented. The shut down area was a bit short so you had to be on the brakes immediately after crossing the mile mark. Kudos to the US Mile Racing and Front Range Airport for their continued support of Colorado Mile.

I missed the Pikes Peak Airstrip Attack, which seems to be more popular.

2017 Colorado Mile

Later on Friday, the wind shifted and my Meth system was misbehaving. I did not chance it. I need to stop playing with the controller.

That wind just was not in our favor!

Time to upgrade to a port fuel injection...

Little Red Corvette1

I watched that run. Great job! I did not see the speed. Around 235mph?

WarShrike

238.4 was the best it did. It had more in it because one of the runs we picked up 9mph in the 1/4 but ran out of nitrous up top...
