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. |
