Exciting news for Factory Five customers and enthusiasts! David Tabor says, “Greg (@rsnake on The Factory Five Forum) and I are gearing up for the Nevada Open Road Challenge once again, taking place from May 15th – 18th, 2025.
We’re expecting another fantastic turnout with a third Factory Five joining us from San Diego – @lewma (another forum member) will be participating.
After the success of the Silver State Classic Challenge (SSCC) in September 2024, we’re ready to take on the Nevada Open Road Challenge again. Last year, we had four Factory Five Type 65s and a blast on the 90-mile, one-way stretch between Lund and Hiko, Nevada.”
What is the Nevada Open Road Challenge?
The Nevada Open Road Challenge is a 60-mile, two-way event that takes place every May, with speeds ranging from 95 mph to 180 mph. Competitors can join in either as a driver or with an optional navigator, and the event splits participants by speed classes and timing methods (hand-timing or computer/GPS). The goal? To complete the distance in the fastest time while staying within your chosen speed class. It’s a true test of precision, skill, and guts!
Last year’s event saw some impressive performances:
- Greg (150 mph average)
- Patrick (145 mph average, 1st place)
- Dave (135 mph average, 2nd place)
- John (95 mph, 3rd place, traveled all the way from Virginia!)
