Silver State Classic Challenge
The Silver State Classic Challenge, called the fastest road race in the world by Guiness,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Fastest Open Road Race )〕 is an authorized Open Road Racing event that is run on a stretch of State Route 318 in Nevada, which is closed for the occasion. The event has been run since 1988, and was the venue for the highest speed achieved on a public highway, when Charles "Chuck" Shafer and Gary Bockman averaged in May 2000,〔(Silver State reprint of Guinness Book of Records )〕 in a Chrysler LeBaron ARCA race car. Although high-speed race cars receive much of the publicity, the majority of participants take part in mainstream street cars at average speeds ranging from . These cars run the gamut from sports cars such as Corvettes and Mustangs to sedans such as Infiniti G35s, Mercedes wagons, and even Saturns.
==History==
The event was first run on September 25, 1988, primarily as a showcase for vintage cars. With the assistance of the White Pine Chamber of Commerce and the Nevada Department of Transportation, a stretch of State Route 318 was closed for the day, and approximately fifty cars took part. The following year, Big Red set the record of was set by a 19‑year‑old driver named R. J. Gottlieb, driving a race-prepared Donovan big-block powered 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z-28. This run was well documented in a ''Hot Rod'' article that year. In the years that followed, the organization became increasingly professional, with rules for safety, car preparation and driver experience becoming more stringent.
An additional event has been run each May since 1991, called the Nevada Open Road Challenge. This follows the same format and rules as the Silver State Classic Challenge, but cooler weather can lead to higher speeds for the fastest cars.
