If your goal is to exceed 200 MPH then a longer track will accomplish what you want. The standing mile events are a zero-max in 1 mile and more a measure of power (GTs aren't the only ones that do it). There are some airports that have long runways and put on events similar to the standing mile. In your case a rolling start would help but if topping the speedo is your goal you can take whatever distance you want.
Don't do the salt flats. Salt and aluminum in the long term are mortal enemies.
I thought the McGowan/Nardo speed trial also had a time factor in it - it had to run at whatever speed for a period of time thus the oval track.
Good luck. I wanted to do it too but there was nowhere in Colorado.

There’s a big dry lake in SE Oregon, out past Burns. Several speed events have been done there.

You are probably correct, but that might have been a little long for his autograph, so he rounded up, as we all do.
