THE TEXAS MILE IS BACK!
You are invited to:
Compete for the best of the best in your class.
Set a record in Texas.
Back-up what you have been saying on the street with a documented
official speed.
Test your equipment and prove something to yourself.
Heck, just come out for a good time!

WHEN: May 21-23, 2004 - Season Opener
We will host a three event series this year with the season opener being
May 21-23, 2004.
This will be a points series. So, you can compete to be a series
champion as well as a record holder.
Registration and Tech are being planned for Friday, May 21.
It will be in the City of Goliad where the community can be involved in
welcoming you.
Competition will begin on Saturday, May 22 and run through Sunday May
23.

WHERE: Goliad Industrial Air Park, TEXAS
As stated in the March issue of HOT ROD Magazine:
"....the runway of the Goliad Industrial Air Park is sufficiently remote
to compete with the desolation of the famed dry lakes and the partially
concrete, 8,000-foot-long, 200-foot-wide surface is superior to that of
the somewhat crumbled asphalt of Maxton. The Texas Mile should become a
top venue in land speed racing." Furthermore, we, the creators of The
Texas Mile, foresee it to be a premier competition for street sports
cars and motorcycles. It is like running on a straight 1 1/2 mile
section of open highway without the fear of tickets and jail time.
30 minutes from Victoria, Texas;
1-1.5 hours from Corpus Christi, Texas;
2-2.5 Hours from Houston, Texas;
1.75-2 Hours from San Antonio, Texas;
2-2.5 Hours from Austin, Texas;
3.75-4 Hours from Waco, Texas;
4.75-6 Hours from DFW, Texas;

WHAT: High Speed Record Setting on a Mile Straight with a little over
half-mile shut-down area!

WHO CAN COMPETE or TEST:
* Street Car/ Motorcycle Division
* Land Speed Racing Division
* JUST need a place to test or want to see how fast you can go? We
have track time for you as well. We have had many inquirers from LSR
competitors, drag
racers and other racers that want to utilize the weekend for
testing purposes. WELCOME!
* Attention Drag Racers: Great opportunity for you to test. Check out
the additional timing resources we are providing.

TIMING and 200 MPH Club:
* Official Speed for all classes will be calculated by a speed trap
located at the last 132 feet of the mile.
Reliable Timing (www.relaibletiming.com) is providing precise Tag
Heuer timing lights hooked to a speed meter and a crowd display.
The location of the crowd display is to be determined, but it has
numbers that are six inches tall and will show the official speed.
* Additionally, we will have another timing system that is set to
provide split times from the start to the 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile and full
mile. This information
is not for official scoring purposes, but has been requested by
participants as useful information. Participants wanting this type of
information will
notify us via their entry form and a $10 administrative fee will be
assessed.
* 200 + MPH CLUB
Join the Inaugural Club Members in 2004. We want to see some cars
and LSR participants make it into the TEXAS MILE 200+ MPH Club.

SPECIAL RECOGNITION TO THE INAUGURAL 200+ MPH CLUB MEMBERS:

***SUPER DAVE (Gebhardt) on a Suzuki 1300R Hayabusa: 210.10 MPH***

brackets ranging from 100 mph to 175 mph and then unlimited.
For Cars: Classes will be European, Import, Domestic, and Rod and
also have speed brackets ranging from 100 mph to 175 mph and then

other LSR events based on classes, engine configuration and fuel type.
We are working with some of the LSR record holders and long time
competitors to ensure a class and tech structure that will be pleasing

majority of LSR competitors. Keith Turk is helping out with car
division and we are speaking with a well know motorcycle record holder

announce his assistance as soon as I get his approval to do so.
