Default Standing mile course?

Does anybody know of anywhere (either around here, or a neighboring state) where you can do top speed runs?

Everyone seemed to think that's what 564 was made for.

Maxton, NC with the East Coat Timing Association

They have some pretty strict safety regulation though to run.

It looks like they have taken the rule book off line but here are some of the rules.

Good link. I won't be done there any time soon as I have no intention of putting in a full roll cage and a parachute.

Talk to him all the time actually.

Hes recovered pretty well from his last bike accident.

He went a couple months ago before his accident down to Maxton with the Vette, hell I just got one of my bottles back from him last week from his trip.

Seems to be doing very well though
