Final race of the seasom at Homestead-Miami

Billed as the “Fastest Mile in the West”, the Mojave Mile Shootout is an amazing event. 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. Held at the Mojave Air and Space Port, this event is relatively new to the land speed racing world but is growing fast since it’s first event in March of 2010.

Just walking through the pits is a treat to any car enthusiast, eye candy abounds with twin turbo Ford GTs, Corvettes of all trims up to the mighty ZR1, purpose built race cars and hot rods and even electric motorcycles. mojavemile.com In this feature you’ll meet a hot rodder named Randy Simmons who built a 47 Hudson pickup truck powered by a Ford Powerstroke turbo-diesel engine churning out 947 horsepower and 1500 lbs. ft. of torque!
