Nevada Open Road Challenge

[Chris67SS]

NORC is in two weeks!! I'm running my 67 Impala SS in the Grand Touring division. Shooting for an average speed of 125 mph over 90 miles of highway 318 in Nevada. I hoping to see some classic American muscle cars there besides mine. Anybody else going?

Chris,
I went there about 8 years back.. would have to look
at my second place plate for the date

Big Pantera thing back in the day... if there is a Black
Pantera there then more than likely it is Madawg.. burned his car
to the ground many years back crossing the finish line
Rebuilt and raced it many years after

Have fun.. be safe
Also smile for the cameras as I just received an email
from them that Discovery is going to be filming there
for their new program MegaSpeed

Just got back from the Nevada Open Road Challenge!! Great time! Great people! Got two out of three awards. Car show, most unique vehicle (not sure how to take that). King of The Road, hitting four checkpoints on time (results pending due to dumb luck). Anyway, I had a rookie navigator and with the excitement came confusion he got a little lost, missed the start, speed trap and the last 20 miles had me cycling between 115 and 140 mph several times. I missed my time by about four seconds. Oh well, now he knows what its all about and I expect to get within a second next September. Rained every day but race day. About 150 entrants. Fastest average speed of the day was 202 mph, a retired NASCAR Monte Carlo. Corvette, Camaro and Mustang heavy, anybody can buy a car and go fast. The real cars were of course my 67 Impala SS 125 class, 72 Charger 150 class, 67 Charger 115 class, 77 Mustang II 140 class, 70 Dart 110 class and a hand-full of 60s Mustangs. The Pantera boys usually show up for the September event. Come on guys, get your muscle cars ready and I'll see you in September! Check it out..... SSCC.us

Just got back from Texas. A bunch of panteras there
for our national gathering. Good to hear you had a great
time , won some awards and more importantly came
home safe. Competition is tough as many have been doing it
for many years. To get as close as 4 seconds on your first time
is great. Keep at it and have fun
