There IS!

Google WANNAGOFAST and get a schedule of the where and when their next event will be - usually on an airport runway, offering 1/2 and sometimes a full mile of WOT fun!

Yeah, I know all about WGF, been doing them since they started in TX. I've also done a number of standing mile events. Neither is like what he's doing, which is a "flying" 1/2 Mile if I remember correctly, which is basically 2-3 miles of distance at full throttle, with another mile or so of shutdown. Given I hit 176MPH in the mile last fall, I'd like to think I could break 200 in a flying event. Too bad we'll never see one in the US.

I recall Curtis Ward breaking 200 mph with his 91 ZR-1 back in the early 2000’s during the Big Bend Open Road Race.... for which he was he was ejected from the race for way exceeding his tech speed. Curtis’ stated intent was only to break 200mph.

Hi thanks for the comments we are only aloud to use a class 2 road that has light use we are lucky to have Goudies Rd to race on its 6kms long we have a 2.5km run up and 1/4 mile timed section 2.5km run down which I use to get more speed yes the rd is narrow and a little bumpy just got to make the most of what is available
Had a lot of people commenting on the car all day they loved the sound of it very few people new what a ZR-1 was or new about the LT5 so was busy with that as well
Was the second fastest car there not bad for a 30 year old car build date on my car 10-89
