Racing in Nevada:

This will be a standing start 1 kilometer race measuring only trap speeds. Less extreme safety equipment, kinda like the Texas Mile.

And they will have a Open Road Roadrace too. I'd like to run Casper in both.

My thoughts are that since it's a kilo, it most closely resembles an NHRA type event, and should have similiar safety requirements based on MPH.

Let's get honest, only a fool would destroy a late model truck by putting Bonneville stuff in it. Wait... :angel:

To me, the more racing venues the better.

Oh, the Flying Kilo is on an airport runway. This is where dragracing started.

Finally a Nevada event, I am going to try to attend this!!!

 

[dieselson]

By then our truck will either be all fix or have a blown motor :rofl: But if it's fixed, we'll try to come to this event, sounds fun.

If the rules dont require me to cage my truck and bunch of other saftey "non-sense" lol, I just may do a little converting for this event.....


I'd really like to shoot for a 150mph run.

 

[whitetrash21]

does a lumber rack count as "safety equipment"??? coz i may just run if thats the case....

I just noticed this, will it sanctioned like silverstate?

How long is the openroad race? I you've never done one they are a blast. 165 average with 185 top speed is good stuff. I'd love to run unlimited but it becomes a race car only at that point.

I can get some of the usual SS suspects there if it's a decent setup.

[whitetrash21]

Since your heading to NV anyway....have you thought about trying this race out? http://www.sscc.us/

If it's like SS, it depends on the class. I know the lower classes <110mph average, don't require much at all. It only gets a bit wild when you're over the 150 average.

Man up guys, it's a blast!

If you don't know, that Camaro is all kinds of NASTY! :driving2:
