    In October 2003, The Texas Mile hosted its inaugural event. HOT ROD Magazine was there and gave their review of our first event:

    Recognized in   Magazine as stated in the March 2004 issue:

    "....the runway of the Goliad Industrial Air Park is sufficiently remote to compete with the desolation of the famed dry lakes and the partially concrete, 8,000-foot-long, 200-foot-wide surface is superior to that of the somewhat crumbled asphalt of Maxton. The Texas Mile should become a top venue in land speed racing."
