Default Silver State Classic Challenge

I'm running the Lightning in this years Silver State Classic Challenge and leave Wednesday for Las Vegas. This event has been a bucket list item for many years.

Bob - the Team Pantera guys wanted me to say hello, Asa Jay Laughton and Dennis Antenucci said you need to come back to SSCC.

Thanks guys and I will provide an update after the event.

All first timers must run in Touring and I'm running the 110 MPH Class. Goal is to average 110 MPH over the 90 mile course with a do not exceed speed of 124 MPH.

Thursday is rookie qualifying class at SpeedVegas, Friday is the 1/2 Mile High Noon Shootout and Sunday is the main event. More info here https://www.sscc.us/default.aspx

We had a fantastic time and will be back next year to run the 125 MPH class. This is an event that everyone should do at least once as the veterans were very helpful and a cool bunch of folks.
