Default One Mile High Speed Shoot Out at a retired Air Base in Texas

ATTENTION Racers and Performance Enthusiast!!
We (NASA Texas) have been conducting road race events in Texas for the last three years. An operator of a retired air base has agreed to rent us their facility for hosting a one-mile high-speed shoot out. We are all interested in finding a place to “run” legally. Here is the chance to prove what you got and run wide open.

Also, we are seeking businesses that want to support the event through being a tech shop, contingency provider and/or awards supporter (through gift certificates, product and cash).

Here are some of the basics:
THE INAUGURAL TEXAS ONE-MILE HIGH SPEED SHOOT OUT
WHEN: Oct. 25-26, 2003
WHERE: Goliad, Texas (retired NAVY airfield)
STRUCTURE: 120 foot roll-out, 1 mile run with radar speeds being primary determination of victors backed by timing lights for tie breakers, ½ mile for shut-down
WELCOMING: Motorcycles, Performance Street Cars, Race Cars and Vintage Cars
DRIVERS and RIDERS: Prepared (Caged) Race Cars and Motorcycles Get the Chance to Join the 200+ mph Club of Texas; Other Street Cars can run to 180 mph. Win Trophies and Certificates. Working on providing contingencies and cash prizes.
A MOTORSPORTS FESTIVAL: Fun, Safe, well organized and legal. A Full Weekend of High Speeds, Other Festivities and Entertainment. Car Shows. Beautiful Event Hostesses. Wheelie Contest. And More. JOIN IN ON THE FUN.

We are posting updates on the event at: www.nasatx.com/highspeed.asp

- Why are C-clip eliminators not allowed?

- For 200 mph would a 6pt bar be acceptable, or the car needs a full 'cage'?

- Do you have any links to online calculators that estimate 1 mile acceleration? I would like to figure out if my car would be capable of 200mph in 1 mile.
