I wish I lived in NV, not just for that, though. Maybe next year. My vacations this year are already spoken for. But that looks like an absolute blast. 9 mile straights! Nuff said.

 

Thats It I need to get a trailer for the car and a comfortable tow truck.. Anyone know how well a Range Rover Sport S/C tows..?

 

I didn't know a ranger could tow...J'k

Why so dan far away, CT has open highway!!! O wait its all cracked up with goop put in it. **** NE weather and harsh road salts,sands,and plows

 

I gotta find a way to do that! My hands were sweating just watching the videos.

 

Check this site out. I do it twice a year.

Im in South Lake Tahoe right now, but no stang
Flew in to do some skiing which starts tomorrow!

 

That would be crazy fun! Too bad you need a 5 point harness to go over 124...

 

Looks like fun!!!!!!!!!

 

nevada gets really hot, especially in the summer. i wonder how my stang would manage, especially while pushing to the the limit.

 

I'm sure it would be fine, at 110mph there would be PLENTY of air coming into the engine, it should stay cool even with the a/c on!

 

yeah with the stupid hood fluttering like crazy for the whole race, but that would be worth it

 

Was near 90 here in chicago when I ran mine at the road course, and the temp guage was climbing to 3/4 hot.

 

A road course would be different than a long stretch of 100+mph though. Road course would entail lots of high rpm's and lots of WOT. Not to mention slower speeds and less air getting into the engine. Cruising at 100+ in 5th would only require about 1/4 throttle, and the rpm's wouldn't be terribly high.

 

Was doing over 100 a few times on the track
its a 3.5 miles 21 turn course.
5th gear? whats that for, lol.

 

Yeah, it would be interesting, but I'm sure the Stang would be fine. When you get into trouble would be lower gears at high rpms. Anyway, I'm seriously considering doing this, making a vacation out of it. That would be an incredible 4 days! Fast cars, desert, speed, car show, cool people, no "man" to hold you down....I'm getting all hot and bothered already!!
