I am not positive, but I think the Hotel is for Friday and early morning Saturday until they open up the airstrip. I read this somewhere and will try to find it again.
First Annual Mojave Mile Event
- Thread starter TallCarGuy
- Start date
You saw that info from the Event Schedule that came with the package. Hence, it prompted me to ask because the schedule shows Friday 1pm to 8 pm Registration at Mariah Inn, and also listed on Saturday from 7am to 8am Late Registration at Mariah Inn (clearly, 7am saturday the track/paddock will have already opened).
Therefore, my question still stands as to do we have to go to this Mariah Inn for Registration or just head straight to the airport. The material never defined what Registration means....:confused
thx

I believe the reg has to be at the INN. It is really close to the airport so not a big deal.

I think 'Ice has it right. You have to go to the Inn first. At least that is the way I read it.
Got all my gear packed, worked out my camera mounts, clipped in my racing harnesses today and everytime I look at the weather the chance of rain goes up. :frown From 30% to 40 to now 80. When it reaches 100% I am throwing a hurrincane party. :bored

It's at Willow Springs Raceway which is west of the 14 about 4 miles. Check in at the front gate and they'll be happy to sell you 91, 100, or 110. Credit card swipe at the pump.

A little tired but full update/critique with pics tomorrow (and I do have opinions...some good, some not :wink).
Personally I have pulley/tune and my best for the day was 181.9 mph which I was very happy with!! :banana
Conditions were not the best. 8 GT's were there, 3 whipple's, 4 pulley/tunes and one stock. King of the GT's at the Mojave mile unless something changed when I left was Black Ice with a 189, and he had one run to go. I will say that as always GT brothers and sisters (Apollo's wife had an impressive 177 run) are the best group of car people to hang with and have fun driving fast!! :thumbsup:thumbsup :cheers

Just saw the Shadow post when I finished writing. Richard did not have his Camaro there, but far be it from me to stop his legend from growing. :lol Just what he needs, more cred in the realm of 200mph runs!!
His Camaro is awesome though. :thumbsup
The high speed for the day was 200.7 mph from a '69 race camaro. I do have a pic of that. Sweet ride and the driver was a good guy.

I was here in the West LA rain yesterday AM, but my friend from the Mini Cooper Club grabbed these images from the Mojave Mile Run and sent them to me. Looks like it was cold!

I stand corrected... thank you ..... I was told that it was Richard's' regardless it was a nice time.
Thank you

I may bring the Big Black Camaro out to the next of these events. It will have a FORD 9" rear axle at that time and I am going with a gear ratio that might allow some decent mile speeds. The Camaro that was at the Mojave Mile was the famous Big Red Camaro. I have been told that it is equipped with a 1200 HP Big Block Chevy. I do not expect my 703 HP small block to be competitive with that Monster.
It was really nice meeting several Forum members for the first time and touching base with others I have met previously. I probably should have waited to pack up my GT as the 15 mph headwinds I was running against turned into tailwinds later.
All in all a very nice day of speed.
