Default Standing Mile Event

I just finished registering for it. Anyone else planning on going? They're having having some sort of Viper shoot out @ the event as well. I'm thinking a top speed event w/o the fear of going to jail for the rest of your adult life sounds like the most fun you could have with your clothes on!

You have to have a 4 point roll bar @ 190mph. Their requirements are less strict than NHRA. It'll take a power adder car to break 190 in the standing mile if it's anything resembling a street car. There were some H/C cars with gas last year that were running 180 +. Something different, why not!

Load up the trucks & trailers & make a trip down. The organizers say that people come from all over to this event. Supposedly lots of tuner cars & mag coverage. We need a good showing of LSX bretheren to show those Viper boys that they're not the only brusiers in the land!
