*** Timing of world land-speed record runs is under the jurisdiction of the United States Automobile Club. Due to the curvature of the earth, it is impossible to see from one end of the course to the other. *** The total length of the course that includes the measured mile varies from year to year, but for recent runs it has been laid out in a path 80 feet wide and approximately ten miles long, with a black reference stripe down the middle. The elevation along the course is approximately 4,218 feet above sea level. Utah’s famed measured mile is located approximately seven miles beyond this marker, well in front of the mountains you see on the horizon.
