Silver State is also a very well run event
Welcome party, parade thru town, car show
and then the run.. also a lot of fun between the
vette and Pantera owners
Some pretty cool cars show up to this event
It was on my bucket list so I did do it but more than
likely not again... not enough turns etc for me
They used to be run on the same weekend... but I think
they were a week apart last year.. not sure about now

If one were to go through the hassle of towing a car out west, it would seem that the VA City Hillclimb and Silver State would be two events to do together?
Any thoughts on the Silver State?

Virginia City Hillclimb
Ferrari and Shelby club event
First day is practice... Roughly 5-7 runs up the hill. Second day is the timed runs. 4-5 runs
The goal is to be under 4 minutes
Record is by the former owner of Spector air cleaners in an F40
Really cool guy that I have talked to several times. He was. 3 min 8 seconds I believe
5.1 miles approx 22 turns and going up over 1000 feet in elevation
Speeds up to 125 mph no guard rails
and big drop offs Very challenging and kind of like having your car on a 4 minute dyno
Very dangerous as they have killed many on the hill They say it takes about 4 years of running it to really learn the road
In an old mining town that has cool saloons where everyone dresses up like cowboys and wears real guns
Again my favorite event Sort of a mini Pikes Peak. I have only done it once as too many other things going on but am going to try again this year as I am not getting any younger
Very close to Reno Nevada and near our buddy Julian. He posted a U tube video of me taking off Go to u tube and Virginia city Hillclimb Pantera. It should come up

It seems like the event gives you a lot of interesting seat time which is important for the time/$$$ outlay.
I also like the mix of driving events between the AX and open track.
Tell us about the Virginia City Hillclimb also please.

Very well run event. Long day on Saturday. Great people and really tough completion. Many purpose built cars. I was thinking of running in Vegas but trying to get my other car (firebird ) ready for the season
A well prepped Pantera could do well
Tires are a key. You need the best 200 rated tires which are really like a Dot road race tire. Brakes are critical for the stop box. My Pantera was 12 th in that sector 3 years back at the Sema final
Will be to another soon.
Second best event I have done
Virginia City Hillclimb is the best ever

Bob, tell us more about your Optima Street car event experiences.
I've been trying to convince Ron that we need to build something for that event.

If you really want to run your car in Vegas you can enter the
Optima Ultimate Street car qualifier.. it is April 15-17
For $750 you can run as many stop boxes you can on
half of Saturday -15-20 if you hurry.. then go over to the autocross
track and run that for another 15-20 times.. go on a cruise that
evening to show the car is street worthy .. then on Sunday run the
track in 3-4 sessions... lots of time to beat on that Pantera
testing brakes, clutch and tires to the limit
And my comment on the proper use of the back screen is
to run your 4" straight 180 headers thru it.. then there will
be a lot of flow going outward only... trust me:)
