Someone educate me on the standing mile since I don't have any knowledge of the rules. I can certainly
appreciate the 252mph feat, but I don't understand why drag racers haven't taken this event over.
Guys
run 250mph in the 1/4 mile in pro mods. Why not gear them differently (and pray that the motor hold together) and
make a mile long pull? They run over 200mph in the 1/8mile while 252mph in a mile impresses everyone. It's definitely
crazy for a street car though.

I think it's because most pro stocks aren't setup for a long haul run where it would probably become unstable to drive. Im sure 300+ would be achievable but I'm sure people would crash.

Either way, I really doubt the current record will last with the caliber of competition that's out there, like the Heffner car:
