It's too bad you guys live on the east coast, we have some really fun events here in the west. You folks have a couple of 1 mile shoot-outs, but here we have Open Road racing. 90-130 miles of closed 2 lane highway. You pick a speed you are going to average. Whoever else picks the same speed is in your class, whoever comes the closest to a perfect time is the winner. So it is a high speed time/distance rally. I average 170 with speeds over 200mph. That is how I got the "member of the 200mph club" avatar. To get this on a 2 way race (45 miles up, stop eat lunch, then race back) I went over 200mph
both directions through the speed trap. For me it was 201.6 and 203.6.The fastest I have had my car to is 207.6mph.

Now Texas and Nebraska are closer the Nevada, but it is still a long haul from the east coast. I have never ran either of these events, Texas is tight with 43 turns in 43 miles. Then Nebraska is less the optimal road conditions and the grid fills up real quick. But have heard good things and great times being had at both.
