Bilek Racing Silver State "300" results |
|
|
We apologize for not posting the results. There was a computer error when associating the points table with the results, it was not picking up the correct points table. We did not want to post results with incorrect points. Everything is looking good right now and they should be posted tonight. They will be the correct results with the correct points. Just to insure your confidence they have been checked and double checked, they are correct. Thank you for your patience, I know this has been very frustrating. |

2009 TSCO "Vegas to Reno" Rumors |
|
|
We are getting calls in the office about the 2009 TSCO "Vegas to Reno" event. We would like to put an end to these rumors, the event will NOT cost $7500.00, I don't know where this came from. The entry fee will no way be close to $7500. We are just in the very beginning planning stages of the event and we do not have any details. We are still trying to make town and motel contacts, we do not even have those solidifed. There are no specific details right now so there should be no rumors. We know the towns we are planning to go through have limited rooms and this will be a big RV event. People loved "Camp Adventure" at the last NV1000 event and we want to create that atmosphere again. Please wait for details, we will pass them along as soon as we have information! For years people have been asking for a multi-day event and a 1000-mile race, so why not take the best of two worlds and combine the greatest race we have, the TSCO "Vegas to Reno" event and make it a 1000-mile, multi-day event. We are just trying to give our racers what they want. We know off-road racing is an expensive sport and we will try to keep the costs down. By giving you a year's notice you can plan for time off and try to budget for a long race. We want the 2009 TSCO "Vegas to Reno" to be a great event for you!

Revision to CT Rule Book - Class 7200 Width Rule Revisioin |
|
|
Class 7200 Width Rule Final Revision 3/19/08 There has been much confusion about how we are going to measure the track width. After a full investigation we have come to a final conclusion. Please click "read more" to read the letter that was sent to every Class 7200 participant to read the final decision.
REVISED SPECIAL NOTE as of 3/3/08 I am very sorry, I made a mistake and I am going to again revise the rule. After additional review and numerous phone calls I have decided to NOT allow Superchargers in any class, including Class 7200. I am only allowing Turbochargers on Diesel-powered vehicles, the same rule as it's always been (SCR 33). I apologize for any inconvenience or expense this may have caused.
No Longer Effective - this is the Incorrect Special Note: Due to speaking with numerous professional engine builders Best In The Desert decided NOT to allow Turbochargers & Superchargers in Class 1400 & Class 1500. However, factory installed or aftermarket turbochargers are permitted on diesel-powered vehicles in all classes. This rule in the Car/Truck rule book has been revised as of 2/22/08.
Attention Class 7200 Participants Starting at the Terrible's "250" at Primm, Tech Inspection, be prepared to have your race vehicles track width measured at both pre-race tech and at a post-race tech. The rule is track width limited to 85". Best In The Desert Tech Crew is going to be very strict on this rule. Special Note: No superchargers or turbochargers allowed in Class 7200, except diesel-powered vehicles are allowed a turbocharger. |
