The Nevada Open Road Challenge 4-day annual event near Ely starts May 16! This
racing challenge is a two-way event, totalling 119.78 miles on a closed section
of Nevada State Highway 318.  The 4-day event is packed full of gearhead
activities and an awards banquet after-party held in the charming, rustic
mining town of Ely, Nevada.

For over three decades, driving enthusiasts from around the world have
gathered on the third Sunday of May in the Nevada high desert for one of the
truly unique automotive events. Drivers traverse 120 miles of closed, two-lane
public highway, comprised of long fast straights, sweeping corners, blind dips,
and even carving through a twisty canyon. The current course record stands at
219.6430 mph average speed, as recognized by the Guinness Book of World
Records. 

The best part is, if you’ve got the nerve, a little cash, and a fast ride,
you too can join them to run as fast as you can, legally, down a public
highway.  For more information, visit https://elynevada.net/event/nevada-open-road-challenge-2021/
