Have
you ever wanted to drive flat out down a winding state highway, safely, with
the Highway Patrols help? Of course, you have - everyone has; and now you
can do all that and much much more.
Open
Road Racing is the event to experience it all. An open road race event is
much more than the race itself. It’s the total overall experience that has
something for everyone. The socializing at night at the hotel is wonderful.
You
will be reminded of the old days of road racing, with communities welcoming
you with lunches and dinners in the park. The entire town turns out to watch
the racers parade. The One Mile Shootout (a standing start solo drag race
over a 1 mile course), is bragged to be one of the most exciting runs in the
country.
A
typical Open Road Race, approximately 118 miles in length, is run in 2 legs
of about 59 miles each. You then stop at the halfway point for breakfast,
and then a 59 mile return run. The highway has been closed and safely
monitored by the Highway Patrol. You drive what ever the highway throws at
you – there are lots of sweeping curves, tight curves, and long straights,
and through all of this, you need to maintain the average speed that you
have selected.
Open Road Racing is run like a rally with max speeds (for the unlimited
class) of 200 MPH, you get to pick your class, from 80 to unlimited,
depending on driver experience and safety equipment. The experience is just
as much fun and challenge for the 90 mph class as for the 140 mph class.
Our
own LSCC “Open Road Race Team” (all members welcome), is so good that other
racers hate to see us show up. We kick butt!! LSCC conducts rookie training
(that everyone comes to for the fun) and will help you in any way to make
sure it is a fun, safe, and exciting event for you & yours.
Open Road Racing has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for various
community organizations in the towns where the races occur..
This is a family event, so if you like a
challenge, love the thrill of speed, want to race as safely as possible,
come on out this year - be there or be square.
