UK Timing Association hosting standing mile events

Just read an article posted on Eurodragster on the 11th March entitled "UKTA offer the Yorkshire Mile". Looks interesting...

Has everyone lost their bottle or what? No one up for a well organised standing mile? The website hints at equivalent events at other locations around the country.

I'm wondering about what it'll take to run 300mph in the mile. 706cu, gigantic turbos and some methanol would be a start.

The article on Eurodragster states they take road cars, though the focus does appear to be bikes. There's a rule book. I'll try to get my hands on it.

The trouble with dragsters is that they are geared for the quarter. Longer legs slows the quarter, but improves your top speed over the mile. I'm guessing a longer geared ex-top fuel dragster with a more robust (if lower powered) engine and gearbox could do 300mph.

So all I need is some decent gearing and a few aero improvements
