It would be awesome to get more board members out to OLoA and the Silver State. SSCC is even set up for a Team competition as it is and I know that there are a couple of board sponsors that would be all over something like that. On fact the invitation has been there for a while... Just no takers. With more cars getting finished though, maybe it will happen - hope so!

I'd be down to try the Silver State. I never looked into it much. Was just checking out their website after reading your posts. Looks like they do the event twice a year. May and September. I probably wouldn't be ready for May given that it's April and I don't have a running car. September is the same weekend as Buttonwillow.

When are you next doing the Silver State James?

I was going to run the Silver State but was turned off by cost and 1st year speed limitation. I'd still like to do it one day. Maybe in a different car at a much higher speed.

I'm going to run in September - assuming everything holds together until then... That will probably be the last event for the OLC for a while. We'll probably run 135 or 140 depending on how the car feels.

The first year speed deal is what it is... a starting point. It's a cool event and probably one of the few true "grassroots" events out there. Yeah it's competitive but when you have an entire town taken over by car guys it's something to be a part of - at least once.

I thought about it in the Porsche I had but honestly that car was too smooth and uneventful at very high speeds. I really think doing 100+ in our cars would be so much more rewarding, exhilarating and impressive.

I think it was a Stacey David show recently that profiled the week and you could totally tell how cool it was how the town was taken over. Reminded me of what it appears to be like at the 341 Hill Climb too.

testing... (ok - posing - they don't call him Hollywood for nothing)

nothing like the PCH when you want to put a couple of hundred miles on the hotrod!

... I was disappointed that he didn't wear his driving suit....

Well at $495 to run 90 miles you are getting more seat time bang for your buck than say an RTTC event :p
