Once in a Lifetime Opportunity!

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity,for someone who is willing to ride at speeds well past the double digits of the posted freeway speeds. I am entered in the silverstate and am willing to offer[to the RIGHT] person the chance to sit in the right seat and help with keeping me on the speed class average I [and you] have chosen.BUT you will need to have a 2 layer driving suit gloves shoes and a 'horsecollar' plus a SA2000 helmet.And that is just to pass tech and also pay your own way on expenses 150 nav fee,hotel room and food.but I will pay the main entry fee 800.00 bucks and supply the vehicle plus have the times worked out.As well as one hell of a great time!
This is a great way to get introduced into the highest form of amateur racing as well as the most extreme form of it. event dates are from 9/14-9/17.email me if you are intesrest and can do it at Ruslow@yahoo.com

PS plan on sustained speeds of 160 plus for 10-15 minutes on a 2 lane hiway so don't think it will be easy.

Do you know Brad Haskett?
He is a co-worker and has won F-Body a couple of times in these type events.

I have had the opportunity to ride with him but it has too big of an investment for me to do.

I think he is going to bring a late model set up for road course racing this
year.

Sounds like fun! I used to Navigate in time. speed, distance rallies up here in New England but we were not allowed to exceed the speed limits. 160 is fast!

A friend of mine competed in the Silverstate years ago. Based on his stories, I highly recommend this to anyone who can go!
