Legal places to hit near 150 mph on East Coast?

Apex Everything · 07-18-2016, 09:00 PM

I want to break my personal top speed.

There are plenty of 1/2 mile airstrip events on the West Coast.

Is there any legal places to hit near 150 mph on the East Coast?

My next change to get near it will be in a McLaren 570S at NJMP Lightning but the track is small, not long enough straight.

Suggestions?

I see you're in Baltimore, so not sure of anything in the Northeast, but we have "wanna go fast" in Ocala, 1/2 mile airstrip events.

Roebling Road in Savannah GA i tagged 148 on last year, with lots of room to improve out of T9 and my braking ability at the time into T1 was sub par. You can easily hit 150 on that track.

Possibly New Hampshire Motor Speedway? Only about 1 mile around, but with the banking it might be possible? Gotta find an event that allows access at those speeds though, that's usually the trick.

If you're willing to cross the boarder Mosport's back straight you can hit in excess of 150mph

I saw the VA one but it is in the middle of god knows where.

There are 1/2 events in PA. I think there have been ones further north as well.

The GA event (Heavens Landing) is more your speed then.
