description Silver State Classic Challenge Overview
The Silver State Classic Challenge is an open-road motorsport event held on a closed section of Nevada State Route 318. The course extends for about 90 miles across rural Nevada, and entrants compete in classes organized around target speeds rather than a conventional side-by-side circuit race. Because the road is temporarily closed for the event, specially prepared street cars and race cars can be driven at speeds that would not be permitted on the highway during ordinary public use.
