Standing Mile Road Racing May Be Coming To Ohio

[imnotacop420]

For those of you who are just hearing about this, there has been an ongoing effort to establish a standing-mile race in Wilmington, Ohio. Street and race vehicles of all types (motorcycles and cars) get a full mile to see how fast they can go. It's not unusual to see cars and motorcycles going well in excess of 200 mph during an event.
The WWW.WILMINGTONMILE.COM website is now in existence. It was originally used for an audio/video presentation to city officials and Port Authority members in Wilmington and Clinton County, Ohio. Those officials are now contemplating the pros and cons of an event in their town. WWW.WILMINGTONMILE.COM now has a place for you to make comments and get on our email list. I'd like to see comments from probable attendees, something about you and the people who would attend the event with you. I'd also like to see why you would like to see this event occur. No personal information will be seen or used by other parties, this is just for Wilmington officials and us.
WWW.WILMINGTONMILE.COM will eventually be a forum for discussing all aspects of a possible race in Wilmington, Ohio.
A RACE HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED. This is simply a method by which we can gain some detailed information about possible participants and spectators. Let's take this opportunity to show the foilks in Wilmington that The Wilmington Mile will be fruitful for everyone involved!
Thank you in advance and feel free to post this in whichever forums you choose.

Standing mile is awesome. You get to see a car truly strech it's legs.

i'd like to see what my car can do in a standing mile. on a roadcourse with a 1/2 mile stretch entering in around 35, i end up at 105. not sure what that would mean in a standing start.
