Good morning.

Do we have anyone here that race the land speed events like the Texas Mile, ECTA, Shift S3ctor, etc. We have raced the Texas Mile since 2017. Multiple cars- '07 MSRT8-198 mph, '06 CSRT8- 188 mph, '16 Hellcat Charger- 202 mph, '18 Hellcat Charger-198 mph, '21 DD HC- 186 mph.

We have some plans in the works in order to hit 200 mph with the Durango this coming October. Should be a good time all around.

I did the Colorado Mile for the three years that the Texas Mile crew came up here, but they couldn't make the dollars work out so they quit doing it.

Turn up the resolution and sound!

I'm not sure but I think there are a few Texas Mile Racers being on here, but it would be cool to have some join up and let us know about All The Fasssst Fun!

I mostly read about the Texas Mile racers back on MMF, posting by Sam, Lisa and Chuck on FB.
Their is a Forum section https://www.hellcatforum.org/forums/build-projects.153/
and it would be great for you to post up all your mods and any new ones when you add them.
The Durango's could probably use some of your need for speed knowledge.

Linda :)

Never took a car, but pit crewed for Sam quite a few times. His Challenger held the record at 212mph for several years. He runs a Trackhawk these days.

They do a 1mi and 2k in Arkansas, I know nothing about it, it is too far for me. And there is always Bonneville.

200 sounds optimistic to me for a stock DDHC. A guy couple years ago only hit 160something at LTA, not sure if it was 1 or 1.5mi.

My local track is probably the best in the U.S., tentative date is July 5-18.
