The following are the qualifying rules for contestants
desiring to contest and hold this Worlds Record. These
requirements are in addition to all of the requirements and
rules governing the running of the Silver State Classic Challenge
Series of Open Road Events.
1. Participant drivers must be at least
21 years of age and must have run and successfully completed
this event at least one time previously at a target speed
of 150 miles per hour or greater and be entered in the Unlimited
Division. Applicable racing experience will be considered
to waive the previous SSCC competition experience requirement.
2. Vehicles must be adequately prepared and
pass the technical inspection of SSCC for the Unlimited Division
of competition. All vehicles competing for this Worlds
Record must be powered by internal combustion engines running
pump fuel. The addition of octane performance boosters and
nitrous oxide gas is permitted. Turbo chargers and superchargers
are also permitted. All vehicles must also be closed wheel
and have the appearance of a production automobile or truck.
3. The Record will be held by the driver
who completes the 90 mile course in the shortest possible
time and will reflect both the time and average speed. Record
attempts may only be made on State Route #318 and only during
the Nevada Open Road Challenge or Silver State Classic Challenge
events. Any attempts to practice for these events at greater
than the posted speed limits at any other time or on any other
public highway in the State of Nevada will result in disqualification
for contenders, and loss of the title for record holders.
4. All participants in the events of SSCC
entered in the Unlimited Division are automatically considered
competitors for the Worlds Record. Anyone running in
any lower speed division does not qualify to compete for the
record and will not be considered.
5. All holders of the Public Highway Land
Speed Record will be listed on two perpetual trophies, one
in the Capital Building of the State of Nevada in Carson City,
and the other to be maintained at the SSCC Office in Las Vegas,
Nevada.
