Next week is the annual Big Bend Open Road race in Ft. Stockton, Texas. 118 miles on a closed public highway and you get to pick your speed. Classes start @ 85 MPH and go to 160. The idea is to come as close to your target speed as possible and often it's within 0.001 of a MPH. Above that is the Unlimited Division where it's WFO the whole way and the fastest car wins. 200 MPH speeds are common.
It's a perfect road for the Vette if you can dodge the roadkill and buzzards. Last year we clipped a bunny rabbit @ 140 and tore hell out of the front splitter. Check out the article in the June issue of Vette Magazine. We're entered in the 125 MPH class, so wish us luck.
This was AFTER a 15 mile drive back into town.
