That Can-Am sound!

Love the car and team! Try fewer camera and sound cuts. Linger longer on 1 veiw and mic feed. Thx!

Nothing sounds better than a Big American V8.

I have been following this car, since I read about it in Hot Rod magazine, in the 1980's. It was a story about an all out highway run, which this car destroyed all the rest of the competition. To see they have kept up with the tradition of Big Red, makes me smile.

Probably makes you want to go about 10 more times huh RJ !!!! 😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

The dust that big red was lifting off the road!, must have been like driving on teflon.

Well done you guys, wondering what is the approximate weight of Big Red ?

Well done to you all. Great effort. Respect!

GO BIG RED THE COOLEST CAR IN THE WORLD AND SHE IS FAST FAST FAST GOOD JOB RJ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big Red IS all that, but we tend to forget the meatsacks that made it all happen. Way to go TEAM Big Red!! 👍

First time racing the course an finish 5th is a awesome day 😎 🎉🎉🎉😊

Fastest Chevrolet Camaro on the road 😮🎉🎉🎉😊

Amazing! Love those hill climb races! Please, post the overall lap times too! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

❤

😊yaaaaaaaaaaaaay❤ awesome I love this car

Man. I've been in that situation talking to another guy about the plan to fix a car or trying to find a part we didn't have during a race weekend and the driver stands just within ear shot and keeps asking how long it's going to take, when do you think it'll be done, is it almost ready, how's it looking? Goddamn. Just like impetuous little children. And when it comes to anything mechanical, they can't find their asshole with both hands and a flashlight.

Impressive, looked like fun, did Pikes Peak on bike, this looked cool. Congrats

So you did make the 341 club.

Fun road to Virginia City!!!

I like big red. Had two z-28's. Chevy man

when was this race,? big red and big oly have always been my favor cars.

I want my own dyno/ wind tunnel! That’s swesome

One day I would love to see Bigred take on the Nuburgring.

Interesting that you guys hadn't made it to this iconic event yet, looking forward to see what kind of time you can put down!

Lol! It's bone stock!

I'm here to hear Big Red. 🎶 3+4+1=8 which is eternity, stood on its ear! 😎 There we have it. Go Big Red🏁🏁🏁

I have a technique I use for Rally/Hillclimb (point to point racing) where I record the first session in POV, once back in paddock I don't even get out, I replay the POV right on the dash in front of me and mimic the inputs to sus out where I was confident or not.. then I look at data. Helps me burn in the course faster because everything is fresh, and I repeat it the same. Good Luck and Be Safe and Have Fun gents!

So what was the best course time that you ran RJ.

The dirty secret of this event is that people die sometimes. My friend Carl Young who owns a Porsche shop in Las Vegas in an identically prepared Porsche 911 twin turbo blew the left rear tire mid course at 195 mph. He lost control of the car, went off the road up a small hill, 450 feet airborne then 12 end over end rolls. There was nothing left of the car except the roll cage and two critically injured occupants in their racing seats. His wife lived but Carl had shatter his left arm in 52 places and broke his neck in two places. It took two years for Carl to die and it was hard to watch. I helped pick up the debris. I was in an identical Porsche and one car ahead of Carl and we finished with an average speed of 187.6 mph. I had 3 young children at that time and decided that was my last open road race. On a race track you can have a bad day and bend some expensive equipment, but you probably won’t die in a wreck. At 200 mph in an open road race, if you have a problem you’re going to go off the road and all bets are off.

Virginia City should be a really fair place to race ! Maybe a local that knows the road but nothing like Willow Springs ! Good luck ! 😎

Glad you said 'Next time' !

And a page 12 teaser article in the November December 89 issue of Hot Rod magazine then got me involved with Silver State Classic Challenge all those years ago.

Don't worry RJ, you will be ready for your experienced team will get your beast, Big Red back to full form and ready to race, thanks for being the Baddest 69 Camaro around 🎉🎉🎉😊

I'm #1 view and comment, like Big Red! Used to race SCCA. Crap like this happened all the time. Once before a big race a buddy wanted to help set up. I told him to swap tires. He jacked the car up by the radiator. That was the end of that race.

Ditch the hood scoop. You're already having to push the air at the front of the car, use it.

I've watched this evolution since the start, a very exciting experiment to say the least. 217 is way fast and y'all can be proud, Big Red is fast and beautiful!

I raced against you guys way back in the day at the old Silver State run....the year the Porsche 959 gruppo scattered a motor down about 1/2 mile of track. I was the guy in the other red 69 Z28 with the 10k rpm small block......but my stripes were black :) I don't even remember....84-85-86 or so ? Yea, it's been awhile.

Putting narrow tires on the car would have gotten him more speed.

Has anyone run a McLaren F1 here before? It's N/A and was the worlds fastest road car for many, many years. Cheers

Man, I've driven that stretch many dozens of times over the years as part of my Spring Creek to Vegas commute. But never at speeds like that!

I wish my 69 Camaro sounded that good 😊

Good effort guys! 217 is very commendable for an NA engine! Hope to see BRC back real soon! Please!

Wow they tape all the molding on.Geeeez.

"Fastest 69 Camaro in the world". Is funny to hear, and ecen funnier to hear someone say it. "2000 horsepower", where the rest of em?😂

Nice job guys!

Big Red😌👍🏻

Legends never die! greetings from Europe

At about 1:35 is that a GMMG, Dick Harrell, F Body Camaro with a 427 C5-R power plant?

Areo is a fickle girl.

@3:50 it sounds like a P-51 Mustang.
