Racing in the Silver State Classic - Stacey David's Gearz Full Episode S3 E4

Silver State Classic Road Race & MIG Welder
If there is one thing that every gearhead dreams of doing, it’s getting their car out on the open road and opening it up to see how fast it will go. Of course, there are a few things like speed limits, tickets, and jail time that keep people from doing this sort of thing. But, wouldn’t it be great if it was possible to do it just once? Well it is... and today Stacey shows you where as we showcase the last real outlaw race in the country… the Silver State Classic road race. If you have a car, and the desire to drive it fast, then there is 90 miles of wide open, two-lane highway in Nevada calling your name! Then it’s back to the GEARZ shop where Stacey addresses one of the most versatile tools you can have in your shop… the MIG welder.

My daughter and I were course workers this year (2022), and had a real good time. We definitely will go back and the racers and folks running the race were very appreciative of our coming there to help.

Ive wanted to do this race for 15 years...i kinda 'participated' a few years ago by sending one of my spare big blocks in a racers rig that broke down on the way thru OR to Ely, NV.
I hope to go eventually. 😎

[@PatandDoopypoopy]

💯 agree. It's on my racing bucket list.

[@glenbjack]

Bucket list!!!!! Thank you for allowing the word! idk if I would have found it about this.

I welded for 20 years with Lincoln and Miller welders. The Millers gave me nothing but trouble. I bought the Lincoln from my Boss when I retired and it's in my garage now, still working like new.
The Auto Set feature on the 170 and 190 models we used, never did work right. Luckily the labeled instructions detailing recommended settings inside the door made it irrelevant.

You said it spot on 'it doesn't matter what you drive '
This year the 95 MPH class winner was a Honda Insight

Probably my favorite race. Run what you brung, all comers, ("See that road? Drive as fast as you can") balls out speed. Unrefined. Pure. I really want to run it in my beater hot rod truck someday. Just to say I did. It's on the bucket list. (Fun fact: The staties stalk this race like wolves around a lost lamb. Slow there. Slow out.)

Can confirm that they will impound your car and you will spend some time in jail! 😂😂😂😂

[@Aint_no_senators_son]

Expired tag and insurance? Gee thanks for loaning me a car, K&N. 🤣

Hey Stacey when are you going to come back and try again. This time don't get a ticket and get DQed before the final day.
