I'm currently in the Bob Bondurant Driving class in Phoenix and a guy told me about this Silver State Classic Challenge, a 90 mile timed event in Nevada, on the open road. Several classes 95 mph to unlimited. I'm not 100% clear on how it works, but it's more a race of accuracy and finishing the 90 miles with a time that would correspond to hitting your class mph, i.e. 95, 100, 105 mph and so on for the entire race.
I'd run this thing alone, but it seems a navigator to read times, work the stop watch would be very helpful. Looks like the next event is May 13-16 and I'm free.
Is anyone interested in either driving and I'll navigate or I'll drive my GTX1 and you can navigate. For the first time, I'm probably comfortable at the 110-125 mph class (I think you might be limited to 125 the first time), meaning we'd average that as close as possible for the 90 miles.
They have several other events that same week, a 1/2 mile, 1 mile speed run and other fun stuff.
There is a certain amount of leg work involved ahead of time, gps reads of mile markers, some math and such, I'm happy to do that.
They do it again in Sept, so we could swap drivers/cars for that race.
Any takers???? :cheers
