First time poster here. Did a standing mile event at the old Loring Airforce base in Maine and felt I would share. Location was super cool with a bunch of old hangers and the 13th longest runway in the world (see pics below).

Because its an old runway it was hard getting a good launch and I was spinning the wheels through 2nd, but still was able to get 157.7 at the mile mark. My car is a bone stock 2021 M2C 6spd. I had a bunch of runs (like 15+) and the car had no issues and I was in the 157mph range for basically all of my runs.

Speedo was off by a few MPH with 161mph indicated vs 157mph through the timing lights.

Highly recommend going to a standing mile event

That’s pretty cool. I’m sure it was a lot of fun as well. I love doing 1/2 mile events, as well as drag racing. I’ve never done the mile though… did your car feel pretty stable during the run?

[Whiskeyandwheels]

The car was super stable and didnt wander around it all but the surface was kinda rough so did have to keep it from moving around too much

Any plans on doing more events? Like 1/2 mile or maybe other mile events?

[Whiskeyandwheels]

Will 100% do more events but would probably want more power first. So just starting the slippery slope of modifying my car haha

I understand. I’ve got a 1/2 mile event coming up in November. Definitely need more power if I taking this car. It’s pretty slow stock.

Standing Mile events are super fun. I did one in Texas many years ago in my Z4M Coupe and did maybe 12-14 runs and most were around 155+, with top speed of 156mph, if I recall.

I do this all the time...in Mexico.

I've always wanted to attend the Texas Mile.
