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-2021/2025
