I'd definitely go to something like that if I didn't live so far away. Thats gotta be a good feeling being able to go that fast legally. Maybe they'll do something like that on the east coast, but I doubt it.

Closest I've seen so far is in Texas. I can post a link if you're interested.

I wonder if these are very straight pieces of road.

In their past event results, their top speed car is a Corvette ZR1 clocked at 210mph!

I don't exactly know how [/I]they get away with it but this is legitimate and has been going on for sometime. This particular rally is a combination of roads, staight aways, curves, canyons and so forth. From what I've read on the message board and stuff it is a favorite of previuos participants and has been lengthened by about 40 mi. this year.

I've slowly been prepping my car, roll bar, coilovers, 5 points driver and passenger. We'll see how well my car does coming back from Bowling Green in May.

They've been staging Open Road Racing events around the country for several years now, with the Silver State Classic being the most well known. There is also the Nevada Open Road Challenge and Silver State Gold Rush Challenge. Check out Nevada's Highway 318 Events / Nevada Highway 278 Events page for more information.

Also in Nevada: the Pony Express 130 at Battle Mountain, the Bonneville 100 in Wendover, and the Gambler's Run in Elko.

Nebraska holds the Sandhill's Open Road Race in Arnold, and for a while there, there was the Bend Open Road Race at Big Bend Nat'l Park in Texas. More seem to be cropping up all the time, although none seem to last very long.

Ken,

What's not very long? Battle Mountain has been around since at least 95.

Where did I state that the BM run hasn't been around for that long? :confused

I stated that some events have folded; for instance, I do believe there were two events in Texas at one time, now there is but one that I could find.

Thought that this was a statement in general Guess I misunderstood

When you are there, make sure you keep it below your tech inspection limit.

The have radar along the route to keep the State happy and exceeding the speed limit of your tech class can (will) result in invalidation of your "race" licence and you get a ticket for the amount you are over the POSTED speed limit at the point measured. So if you tech at 140 and are doing 145 in a 55, you get tagged with 90 MPH over the posted speed.

I haven't done the run, but several people in my area have and they say they are very serious about the tech limits and the State Police are standing at the Finish line waiting, if you violate.

Have fun, but keep your tech limit in mind!

WOW, Rick, that's some great info I haven't heard before I haven't decided what class I'm gonna run yet, but if I go to the higher speed that I can qualify for I think I'm gonna have my hands full and be holding my a$$ to tight to exceed tech :L

 

[WhalePirot]

I have to seriously try for this one. Tech improvements will rule the day, so I can explore the potential of my 'new' car. Thanks, pal.

 

[Copdogcorvettes]

Just one question; Is this just for C4 and above or can I come down with my C3? This looks like a lot of fun.
