I checked their site, and looked at several of their pages, but could not locate a date. Their schedule states: "Thursday, Friday", etc., but no month or date.

Fred,
We're planning on leaving the GT home this time & try the C6 just for laughs.

 

[Fast Freddy]

Larry, is that C6 a Z06? what class are you gonna run in?

 

[S592R]

[Lgaruti]

Fred, No it's a Z51 car set up for the 150 class.

Silver State

OK, so I am a little late on this one. Better late than never, I am in for the run next week.

This has put a rush on my upgrading of the GT. I am working on the harness hardware, I want to use my racing harnes from the Porsche. I plan to put an exhaust, pully and tune on the car. I also want to put the adjustable shocks on to allow the car to be lower. An alignment job and go give it a shot.

I will see you there with the Red #???. :banana:banana:banana

I plan on runing the course several times on Friday with my navigator, Norm. It appears that there will be some spare time to do so. Any one want to make a run or two?

my car # is 488 this year. last year i had to settle for # 377 :lol

 

[cobrar1339]

What class are you allowed to run if it is your first time here?

Assume a fairly stock GT with Belts and Fire Ext only

 

[JimF]

I am running in the 150 class. I had to submit my competition licenses from SCCA and NASA. They are good with the strength of the GT roof structure so I put in my 6 point restraints and a fire extinguisher and called it good.:biggrin

Let you know how it goes:cheers

Well guys,

I expected to see quite a few GTs at this Silver State but all I saw was one red with white stripes. I ran my 1996 Camaro in the Unlimited class and won with an average speed of 198.54 MPH. As far as I can tell from the old records that's the third highest average speed in history (for a full length run, Derek Eastly only ran the first 60 miles - before the infamous Narrows when he averaged 201). Well, next year, with a few more ponies, I hope to give the all time record a shot.

I'll see some of you at our Ford GT Only Driver's school at Willow Springs on October 9th. I'mm really looking forward to that.

I was there with my corvette (big wing, student driver sticker), but rookie rules limited me to the threat of being banned from the event and the 110 mph class.

I spoke briefly to the FGT owner there, My car got crashed by a renter a few weeks before the classic so it was unable to make the trip. Oh well time for the GTX1:banana

it was nice to meet you. we met at the shootout on saturday. i see that your car did very well in the shootout. i ran the 150 mph class again in my viper. like you i only got 1 run in at the shootout before the evo wrecked. unfortunately my g-force trans is a peice of sh*t and i missed my 5th gear shift. i was doin 140 mph at the half mile when i went for 5th and it cost me 5 mph at the 1 mile mark. i will be back next year in my ford GT. i am already stock piling parts and i will mod it this winter.
