Hello all,
Just passing this along. At Mojave Air and Spaceport the next Runway Racing Event will be held on Saturday September 23rd with tech being the day before at the Mariah Country Inn next to the airport. Field limit of 25 cars so first signed up gets the slots.
Now to let some of you newer people know, and some of the older previous participants as well, we have had some exciting developments over the last few years. As you can see by the time slip we get three speeds now, the 1/2 mile, 1 mile and 1.5 mile speeds. This really adds a lot to the event and lets you gauge your performance in multiple ways. In addition we now allow you to take passengers. Passengers must be 18 or older and are required to fill out all the same waivers as the driver as well as have all the same safety gear as required for the driver. However this allows you to have your family and friends participate with you in a way they never could before. And you think that they look happy when you have taken them for a ride in the past. Well take them down a runway at full throttle and you are talking a whole new thrill.
There is also now a website https://www.runwayracingllc.com/ .....which allows online registration and payment for events. This event has been running as a word of mouth invitational but now we are looking to expand the field. It is and always will be a boutique event. 25 cars max. Unlike a public event that can have 150-250 cars and you only get 3-4 runs a day you will run your car all day long almost at will and you will tire out before your car. I did 14 runs in our Ford GT and my friends and I made 21 in my Ferrari and we stopped racing by 3pm.
So if you have any interest in running this type of event in a small very personal setting that allows you a much better experience than a public event feel free to visit the website and contact the Runway Racing staff for further information.
Here are a couple of vid links and pics from the last event to give you an idea of what to expect.
