I'm thinking about trying to enter the 2016 Big Bend open road race. I got my 2014 Z51 last June and will do level 2 at Spring Mountain in a week.
General comments about the race? Appropriate speed class?
Thanks!

I've run BBORR many times; missed this year unfortunately. It's a blast! OP, the best thing you can do is read the detailed rules available at bborr.com. There are limits on what speed class you can run the first year no matter how well equipped your car is, and there are limits based on the car and its equipment regardless of how extensive your racing experience is.
Oh, and take it from me, if you want to run it you should fax your application on Jan 1 as the field fills up very quickly. Then make hotel reservations since the choices are pretty limited in Ft. Stockton.
