I would love an event like this in the upper midwest (I know, no mountains to go up). Or a standing mile but I have been unable to find any abandoned runways long enough.

How long are Milwaukee's runways? Here at O'hare we have one that 13,000'. Hmmmmm graveyard shift plus closed runway........... = Jail
You guys crack me up. Why not just blast up I 94 from Chi-town to Brew-city - that's about 90 miles of flat out fun!! WI state cops routinely hand out tickets
for speeds exceeding 120 mph. The mayor of a Chi-town suburb got one last year for 118!
Sounds like a blast but my first thought is the safety net is going off the side of the mountain. I don't mind rolling the dice on a road course or autocross but I'm going to have to limit myself to calculated risks.
Safety net?? What safety net? This is a run that requires a really good balance of aggressiveness and common sense, not to mention a well prepared vehicle. At the end of the day, this type of competition will yield 10 times the adrenaline generated at the track. The element of uncertainty is a powerful thing...
Think of the stories you can tell all your buddies, theirs will not compare!
Ok guys, here's a video of the run to give you a flavor of what it's like.
We've got commitments from Lingenfelter, Saleen, Stillen, Petty and Fesler as well as a couple Porsche's and a wicked Syclone truck. Shipka's on board with the OPTIMA One Lap Camaro - sign up and show these guys that pro-touring is for real!

Turns out this was a very profound statement Todd. My condolences to Alex's family.
