The Nevada Highway
318 events are identical, differing only in the
time of year. They begin just South of Lund, at
White Pine County just north of mile marker 9,
head South through Nye County, and finish at
Lincoln County mile marker 7. The journey
traverses 90 miles of two lane highway which has
recently been repaved and is in excellent
condition, with long straights, twisty sections,
and dips, which for the faster participants, may
result in an airborne experience. Entrants
receive a set of
Course Notes
and a video tape to help them prepare for the
event. The cars are run in classes at five mile
per hour increments, from 95 mph to 180 mph,
with the class determined by the vehicle's
safety equipment, the driver's experience level
and the driver/navigator comfort level. There is
also an Unlimited Division for very experienced
drivers with full race-equipped cars. Vehicles
are started at one minute intervals and 30
second intervals, beginning with the 150 mph
class and working back to the 95 mph class. Once
the last 95 mph class vehicle clears the course,
the Unlimited Division and the higher speed
brackets over 150 are run as the final group
