Texas Mile Participants
 

Hey guys

Looking to go to the Texas Mile. I'm from Houston. Anyone here planning on going? I need to get a helmet, gloves, and fire extinguisher. Anyone have experience in temporarily mounting one securely in the car?

I will be running Michelin PS4, 600rwhp. I doubt I'll go any faster than 180.

Not running this time, but I plan visit on Saturday. Be sure your helmet is SA2010 or newer, M rated helmets will not pass inspection. At 600rwhp you should be in the low 180's depending on weather. I was able to go 182 bone stock, 186 with 620rwhp in good air conditions. It will be a great time, good luck!

182 Stock Z06 or ZR1? I have a Z06

If I'm not mistaken, fire extinguishers are not required for cars trapping less than 199 mph.

I guess you're right! Thanks for the correction.

ZR1. Stock RWHP was 530.

I did 185 with low 500 hp. Lethal Racing showed my car was 575, Pat G and Kurt's dyne showed my car did 480hp. At 600 I would think you will be close to 190. I build an extinguisher mount that I put in front of passenger seat. Bolted to the front mount bolts

It's funny you mention that, because my car hit 600 whp at Pat and Kurt's dyno recently. It's the only Dyno I have been on. :confused2:

Make sure your tires are not date coded past 7 years, you will not pass tech inspection if they are.

The ps4 has only been out 2 years

Sorry, did not pick up on that...just trying to be helpful. :cheers:

Bone stock (~440whp-ish) to 620whp and it only got you 4mph more?? Other circumstances involved?

Bone stock ZR1 is 550 whp

Wind plays a pretty big part. Tail wind or head wind and wind speed of course.

Just curious. Does anybody know what distance the timers are set from the starting line?

Believe it's half mile and the end

i want to run this event but no idea what car would run in mile event. 1k z06 would i be in the 200-215 group?

So I'm registered! I see 15 other C6 Z06's on the roster, so I know there are some people here :)

I think a 1k whp z06 might be 210 or 220, you'd have to have a roll bar and harness according to the rules.

I don't plan on breaking 200 with ~600whp. I also have aero which will bring safety but probably lower my top speed.

Sounds like a fun event! I recently got an SA2015 helmet on Amazon for about 180. Very happy with it

At 600 RWHP (SAE corrected, 580 uncorrected for my altitude), I hit 166 standing 1/2 mile.
Using my VBox Sport, I measured a 1 and 1.5 mile run as well, and hit 194 in standing mile...204.7 standing 1.5 mile.
To hit 200 in a standing mile, you'll need 700+ rwhp for a C6 Z06 with standard aero...something I'm hoping to hit once the new engine is completed and installed :thumbs:

Good luck and be safe !!!!!
