Again though..

What real world racing or track condition would exist to allow you a full mile of straight track to ring the car out that hard?

I can think of nowhere west of the Mississippi that has sanctioned races where you can run a car out a mile..and no I'm not counting private airstrip rentals or the salt flats.
