Mojave Mile/Magnum(1.5Mile) - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

To All Of Our Devoted Racers & Friends,
Sadly, the era of the Mojave Mile & Magnum events has come to a close.
We were informed on May 4 by the Mojave Airport that they would no longer support our events (or any test & tune events, for that matter) at their facility.
The letter I received from the Airport Manager, John Himes, reads, in part:
Mr. Borders,
"…we regret to inform you the FAA has requested we stop hosting time-trial events. It saddens us to end our relationship with you and your organization; we wish you continued success in your future endeavors. "
John Himes
Director of Operations
Mojave Air and Space Port
1434 Flightline
Mojave, CA 93501

Therefore, we are left with no choice other than to terminate the Mojave events permanently. This was not our wish, but obviously we must yield to the Airport's position.
We have no other venues to explore in which to move the event, so we have made the decision to cease operations.
We leave you with fond memories of eight years of racing, hundreds of new friends, and a wish for success in all that you do in the future.
Mike, Keith, & Marsha
