Silver State Classic Challenge Open Road Race 2011

This is one of a handful of open road race events in the country and this year it's a landmark event for Lincoln enthusiasts. We participated last year and after all the trophies were presented the MC announced the drawing for the car to be on this year's T-shirt. You guessed it; it was our Lincoln: Cheryl's '97 Town Car. So if you want one of these T-shirts go to the site below and click on merchandise. This is unlikely to happen again.

We'll be there this year with "Old Blue" if all goes well. Come join us for the fun. Drive what you bring; just about anything with four wheels.

Confirmation letter received, car inspected, fluids checked, race gear packed. We leave Wednesday for Las Vegas. The "Race car" failed muster once again and the Town Car fills in. We may not be fast but we'll be comfortable.

May the Road rise to meet you,
May the Wind be always at your back.......

Finally got it together.
#1. A very fast car in the foreground; a very comfortable car in the background.
#2. Cats and dogs.
#3. The brothers Ciancitta's cars. The 1937 Ford F-1 that regularly exceeds 170 MPH and the Rambler American nearly as fast.

OBTW our time error of 0.6295 seconds was only good enough for a second place.
