Default Big Bend Open Road Race?

Anyone going? It looks pretty legit, no speed limit on open roads...

It was good 2 years ago. Last year some cows got out and some people only got to make one run.

I wouldn't say no speed limit, but plenty fast. As a first timer you won't go over 140 unless you have a license from another sanctioning body that they accept.

Unless the driver has significant time on a road course, a first timer should probably enter the slowest class with the 140 tech speed (115 average maybe).

Here is a short clip of my turd a few years ago.

Won't be going this year but am planning to next year.

2003 Winner: 2003 #8, 96 Camaro SS 21:34.982 @ 164.018 21:15.998 @ 166.458
Last year my buddies did it in a 'Vette: mph Score (Delta time) 0.003 +mph (0:00.068-t) San Antonio, TX, 96 Corvette, Target Speed 100.000 (35:24.000 +/-.011) [35:23.932 @ 100.003]
It's amazing that in a 59 mile run they can time trial at within .003 mph of the target average speed.

Like posted above only 140 max your first time out . The faster classes are lots of $$$. I'm wating for my son to reach 16 then I'll let him navaigate.
