[QUOTE="Norton, post: 15004774, member: 145307"] It was a good weekend (for most) at the inaugural [URL="https://www.usmileracing.com/the-colorado-mile/"]Colorado Mile[/URL], held at the Front Range Airport (over 5500ft of elevation) in Watkins, CO. There were a lot of great runs by a wide variety of cars. A number of them exceeded 200 MPH, but the weekend's record setting 246MPH run was made by T1 Race Development's Nissan GT-R. Unfortunately, a handful of drivers/riders had trouble slowing their cars/bikes to a safe speed for the turn back through the pit area, and ran off into the grass.
