You guys represented your marque so well at the Mojave Mile, I would like to invite you to come out to our Open Road Race event, the Bonneville 100, on June 23-25, 2010.
If you come, you will experience the most unique form of auto racing available today -- 100 miles of speed on a closed public highway, all to yourself! This event is essentially a high-speed rally on US Highway 93A, which runs 50 miles southwest out of Wendover, NV (home of the Bonneville Salt Flats). The race starts in Wendover, NV, goes 50 miles southwest to Lages Junction, then after lunch, you return on the same road another 50 miles back to Wendover. You may run in average speed classes starting at 95 mph, or you may run in faster classes depending on your safety equipment and experience. If you have no experience, you can still run in average speed classes up to 130 mph with a maximum speed allowed of 150 mph. For first-timers, we have a "rookie school" you must complete on race weekend, but the good part of that is you get to make high-speed runs of 8-10 miles on the actual race course the day before the event!
Oh, and if you wish, you can run with a navigator or co-driver to help you zero in on the perfect time, or share the driving duties. My wife, Marsha, and I have run as a team for 10 years and we really get a kick out of working together.
Richard Hille will tell you that open road racing is incredibly fun, very safe with proper preparation and common sense at the lower speed classes, and the racers that do this will welcome you with open arms; ORR'ers are a close-knit family and you are guaranteed to make new friends, some for life, at this event.
If you bring 10 cars from the GT40 group, I will give you a 10% discount on your entry fees, and you can compete in the Team Challenge for bragging rights.
Putting my promotional hat aside for a second, let me say as a racer that if you have competitive blood in you, "please come," as you will REALLY enjoy this kind of racing.
Go to the website, www.openroadracing.com, for details, rules, and other information. Entry forms will come up in a couple of days, or if you want us to send you a packet, call Mary at 702-614-6108.
