Very cool vid.
I have been thinking about doing the Big bend open road race for a long time. Before my buddy Joey passed away from cancer 6 months ago he would always tell me Rick! We've got to do the BBORR its the ultimate. I'll been your navigator. So as I was browsing verious road race vids I came accross this. The only video I could find of a ZR-1 road racing. Enjoy. I sure did.

Re: Very cool vid.
It would definitely test your suspension at high speeds. Let's say you enter the 155 mph class at big bend. Its 58 miles each way. You have to stay within plus or minus 10 mph of your 155 class. You fall below 145mph or go above 160mph your disqualified. So if your average ends up right on target then you'll eat that 58 miles up in about 37 minutes. Then regroup and go back the other direction and do it again. And they stress the point to keep in mind that the unlimited class average speed is 172mph with top speeds that reach 218mph. Don't out class yourself to the point that your struggling to maintain.
Its isn't cheap either. If you don't have a racing license then you pay $200 to take their class. Then another $800 to enter 155-165 mph class. That's $1,000 right off the bat. Then a fire suit and a few other safety things. In the unlimited class you have to have a full roll cage. Basically the faster you want to go the more expensive it gets. But man it looks like a ton of fun and im gonna start making plans to do this. May not be this year or next but some time soon when all my ducks are in a row. |

Ricky - hook up with Ted Zaleski - he's just down the road from you.
