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 some open road racing and do it now. We havent' been out to Silverstate yet, but we do Big Bend down in Texas. Represent ye ole f-body cars man!
Here is a 30 minute documentary from our race last year. This should convince you to go to one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ1ILhFyhxw |

Very well done ... one of a few YT vids that can be watched start to finish. And congrats on a podium finish. Not an easy accomplishment. |
