The Arkansas 1- Mile Challenge

The event is held at the Blytheville International Airport on the grounds of the Arkansas Aeroplex at 4701 Memorial Drive in Blytheville, Arkansas.

We use FM Radio for speed broadcasts. Frequencies will be posted as you come into the track and remember to bring your lawn/beach chairs so you can relax and watch some of the fastest racing vehicles in the world streak down the course!

Spectators are welcome at all ECTA events. The cost is $10/day for adults; children 12 and under are free. Weekend rate available; inquire at the front gate. Bring your tents and lawn chairs so you can relax and watch all of the action from your trackside view! Tune in to hear the race as it is broadcast on a short-range FM channel (to be announced at the event).
