Anyone up for the Spectre 341 Challenge?
Spectre 341 Challenge
The event, held on a 5.2-mile stretch of twisty mountain road near Virginia City, Nevada, allows anyone with a street legal car, a fresh set of tires, $341 dollars for an entry fee, and an unhealthy amount of bravery to run the course as many times as they want in two days. And that's the beauty of the 341 Challenge. The event is pretty much open to whoever wants to enter, no matter the budget

Oh okay, wow I thought it was longer ago than that. The pre-race briefing in the morning of the race definitely sends chills down your spine. They talk about how they started the race last year at 10:30 and a guy went first and had a passenger with his first time on the track. At 10:36 they had 2 people dead. I have a video of me just driving the circuit, it's pretty tricky.

This guy from auto week magazine interviewed me (spectre performance let him use that cts v wagon for the event, shows how high up he is) but I couldn't find his review.i was the youngest driver and I think the only german sedan.
