If I don get my car inspected in Las Vegas on Thursday, what are the chances of finding specialized parts, racing gear, or tires in Ely, if I can pass tech there on Saturday?
Not very good. There are parts stores and a tire shop in Ely and they are always ready to help our participants out, but the things you may need are more likely to be found in Las Vegas. Bringing along a few spares, such as belts, hoses, brake pads or tires goes a long way, if only for peace of mind. I heard you will not be able to event if you get a speeding ticket on Highway 318 within 90 days of the event. That’s true. It is part of Nevada’s requirements for the permit and the highway patrol will notify the event officials. Also, remember we are guests in town, so save the squealing tires for the starting line.
