October 18-20
VICTORIA, TEXAS—As the most recognized 1-Mile Top Speed Racing event in the world, the much anticipated Texas Mile returns to the Victoria, Texas Regional Airport October 18-20, 2019. The Texas Mile welcomes the fastest performance cars and motorcycles from across the United States to test their limits in a 1-mile stretch.

Returning for the October 2019 event are two large, on-site LED wall displaying video of the participating vehicles as they make their way down the track. For participants and spectators, convenient amenities are available such as local food trucks, bleacher seating, and shaded viewing areas. Free bus transportation will be available to shuttle spectators between different event areas throughout each day.

The Texas Mile started as a single auto racing event in Goliad, Texas in October, 2003. Since that time, it has become one of the hottest tickets for speed enthusiasts everywhere. The event, co-founded by Jay and Shannon Matus (of J&S Matus Motorsports, Inc.), remained in Goliad until March 2011 before relocating to the Chase Field Industrial Complex in Beeville, Texas. In 2017, it was relocated once again to its new (and current) home in Victoria, Texas. Today, the Texas Mile sells out  220 coveted driver spots with competitors from around the world. Prior events have generated millions of dollars in economic impact and filled hundreds of hotel rooms.

“Victoria is very pleased to have such a well-known event as The Texas Mile return here," said Joel Novosad, Director of the Victoria Convention & Visitors Bureau. “The event will bring hundreds of overnight visitors to Victoria and have significant economic impact for the community.”

In March 2019, the fantastic track at the Victoria Regional Airport allowed for drivers to set multiple speed records. M2K Motorsports will be back with their 2006 Ford GT driven by Patrick O’Gorman. This incredible machine set the standing mile world record at the March 2019 Texas Mile event in Victoria at an awe-inspiring 300.4 MPH! The Texas Mile is a “proving grounds” for those in the Motorsports industry. Car and Driver Magazine along with GM Performance held the first public speed test of the 2019 Corvette ZR1 at the March 2018 Texas Mile. This March's Texas Mile will certainly have its share of thrills.
