Big Bend Open Road Race
Some west Texas folks on here were talking about going to the BBORR instead of the Texas Mile and I was wondering how it was.

Steve,
The 66 Cobra from San Antonio is a Lone Star Classic kit. I have the same one and we were talking recently about this race. He said it was a blast. They will do it again. I plan to put it on my list to do, just behind the Texas Mile in Goliad.

I was the 05 GT.
My very first event and only have factory belts, so was limited to the 110 class.
I didn't have a navigator so used an egg timer to keep track of time. Finished 52nd out of 160 and 7th in my class out of 22. Missed the mark by 1.7 seconds.
The towns of Ft. Stockton and Sanderson go all out to make this a fun event. I had a blast and hope to go back again next year with harnesses so I can move up to a higher speed.
Spoke with Donnymac while I was in Ft. Stockton and he is planning on attending next year also.

My good friend Charlie Friend, set fastest average speed (166.722 mph) and top trap speed (204 mph) in a Corvair that is much more like a Ford GT than any Chevy you've ever seen. Its mid engined with a 400 cu in small block putting out about 700 hp through a Porsche 930 transaxle that's been flipped over. If anyone wants to see this monster, he'll be racing against my 216 mph Camaro at the Nevada Open Road Race in two weeks.

BBORR is 120 miles of rock and roll with parties at both ends. Its pure west Texas style with ranch/oil towns Sanderson and Fort Stockton providing 110%support.
Field this year was capped at 160 cars and there was a wating list. 2 of the most interesting unlimiteds were the Corvair TallCarGuy mentions and a Studebaker that looks like a duck tape backlash. Vettes pretty much dominate the field.
Got to visit some with RedGT. He raced but I didn't.
Need a few more GTs for 2010.

I am definitely in. We need to register as early as possible as they sell out at 160 cars and had a waiting list this year.

Vettes have a cage above 145 mph or 155 - can't remember. Harness and fire system is also required as tech speed increases. Hans comes into play as well.
Tech speed rules may be on BBORR web site. Not sure.
I need a beer. :cheers

M&M NASCAR and Corvair(TallCarGuys buddy I think) at 207 mph.

Okay, now you see the nasty little Corvair. Charlie drives the wheels off that puppy. The M&M car is owned by Dave Carpenter, another complete character. He has a big block monster in that one, but it has had quite a few teething problems. Hopefully it is all getting sorted out. Great guys, both of them.
I hope some of you are able to make it to the Nevada Open Road Challenge, (May 14th - 17th). Charlie should be there and I hope Dave makes it as well. In any case, you will definitely meet a whole BUNCH of car crazy people.
