My neighbor asked me if I wanted to do the Silver State Classic with him this fall. After researching it a bit, it looks like a blast. He said he'd use his truck and trailer to haul my car and pay for fuel. All I have to do is provide the car and drive it, he'd be my navigator.

If you've done this event before, is there any advice you can give? We are considering the 105 or 110 mph class since that the fastest class they allow first timers in.

After watching the videos on the website, 110 mph on that course will seem like a Sunday drive, maybe with the exception of the short twisties near the end.

Do not take these events lightly, high speed for prolong times causes other factors that your car is not used to seeing. Last year two people were killed at this event in a Camaro due to a tire blow-out from what they could tell. It is not like a HPDE event where safety crews are less than a minute away. Tires are the major concern and can blow even after a good inspection. I have never run one of these events but know two people who participate in the SSCC events every year and this is serious stuff. Check the requirements for your group and double check your car and safety gear. if something happens at high speed due to the raised 2 lane road the odds of you rolling are increased.

Do not want to stop you, and the event needs every participant to keep this type of racing going, just be overly safe on this one. We do not need to loose any more Camaro drivers!
