I was wondering if anyone here has ever raced in the Silver state classic? How was the tech inspection? How was the over all experience? Would anyone be interested in getting a group together to do the race?

LOL... I would venture a guess that 90% of the people on this board don't even know what that race is.

What did they have to say about their experence? Was it good or bad? Was it worth doing? I'm gonna guess yes.

I guess that I fall into the 10%. That race attracts some serious hardware in the top classes.

Biggest thing is overheating. If you do it, post results!

I think there was a girl in Nor cal LSX who did it. Was in a lower speed category. She enjoyed it and was going to do it the next year when I talked to her last.

I believe there was a sn95 that was featured twice in 5.0 and he was shooting for 200+mph. I believe he got it and then some.

I'm definitely going to do it. I was wondering if anyone else wanted to race also. My speed catagory depends on if I change my rear gears back to stock or higher. I have plenty of power.

As a first timer your speed category will be between 95 and 110 mph with a top speed limit of 124.

You really might want to do an open track day or something first.

SteveL: from what I've read I thought first timer top speed was 150mph but I could be wrong. If it's limited to 124mph that's really all the better because my car is geared pretty low.
9cobra7: are their any track events coming up soon? I agree that I should participate in an ppm track event prior to the BIG RACE. It will help me prepare for tech inspections and all the safety requirments. Good idea...

How would there be an open event for the silver state classic? This is not an auto x event???
I would suggest that any car that has low gears and a stock cooling system wont make it. The race is based on an avg mph. So if you're going through a slow section and you're in a 124mph class you have to make up the difference.
Good luck and have fun!

Just read through the site & as SteveL mentioned you're limited to a max avg speed category of 110 & max top speed of 124. Touring class also only requires OEM seat belts & doesn't require a cage. Sweeeettt

There is always track events going on with many different groups. I'm probably going to another event Feb. 6th Sat. with Trackmasters. Check there website, they have many events and are well organized and a good group for beginners or experienced drivers. It's going to be a Sears Point my favorite track.
