The Mojave Mile Shootout is called the “Fastest Mile in the West” and is an amazing event for any car enthusiast. Dozens of cars from super high end exotics to custom built racing karts, compete to set the highest laser recorded speed over the course of one mile on tarmac from a standing start. The Mojave Mile takes place at the Mojave Air and Space Port and while relatively new to the land speed racing world it is growing fast since it’s first event in March of 2010. The weather is generally good and the runway offers a pristine strip of road with plenty of runout (even for the cars that push well past the 200 MPH mark) to compete on.
