Well then it's gonna be the mustang. Hhmmmm... Maybe I should just use the truck it'll be way cheaper and I'd be saving the wear and tear on my mustang so when I do it the second time I can be in a way faster bracket.

Yeah, you could bring the truck. I was watching a video of the parade through Ely last year & saw a Z71 Silverado lol so you'll be fine in the truck.

The silver state is in May as for the race in Texas I'm not sure when that's held but it's just way to far for me to travel.

I don't think you or your car are ready for the race. Weren't you the first time road racer talking about your 650rwhp mustang gt and taking it to the track. You will have overheating problems with the blower setup and you should probably get your car on the road track first to see if you and it are ready before you kill yourself trying to go 150mph in an under prepared car.

I would love to do this, but 4.30 gears are not compatible with these types of races, lol.

How many open track events do you have in your history? From your other posts you seem to not have a lot of experience road racing (which isn't bad). I just don't think you understand what is needed to safely compete in that kind of race at 150mph. I can almost guarantee you that your cars setup isn't right and your car doesn't have the proper aero, cooling, oiling, or brakes for this kind of event. Not to mention the safety gear to pass the intensive tech. A silver state classic 1999 cobra was for sale a little while back with full cage, alcon brakes, 3 sets of ccws, drysump, diff cooler, full undertray, wing, splitter, not to mention tons of other goodies. He was running between 150-170.

Relax people, first timers are limited to the 110mph class and CANNOT go over 124mph during the entire 90 mile stretch of the race. I'll be there with my four door front wheel drive family sedan
