Between this, Silver State, and Sun Valley I need to get out to an event like this. Seems amazing.
See you April at silver state Ed
My buddy Terry's place is next door to Peter Cetera's house in Sun Valley- it's a fantastic area. Mentioned setting up a US-191 run to some of the guys, go south-north, Mexico to Canada
Yo Ed!
My self and a Friend drove this race in April 2022 it was a blast!! did the 110 mph class in a Caddie CTSV with a few mods, you really need to do it!!
You would really like big bend, I have a seat for you in my c5 z06 if you want to do the race in October. Seats bolted to the floor so you’ll fit just fine
Lived in Texas all my life and been a gearhead for decades. Never heard of this in my life and now I feel like I’ve been missing out bad!
Next race is in October, make it happen!
@@dougmasters3875April 24-27 is the spring race!
SAAAME
@@jguerra0117 Yeah, but it's full.
@@dougmasters3875someone can be a co-driver no problem some people are probably looking still
I had a coworker who ran the Big Bend race in his modified Corvette. He was clocked at one point going 161 mph.
😂 161 is slow
The 130 toll road here in Texas stretches from Seguin on the south side at I-10, and goes north to Georgetown at I-35. This is the toll road that goes past the Circuit of the Americas! The southern half of this toll road has a speed limit of 85 mph while the northern half has a speed limit of 80 mph. Those speed limits are merely suggestions though!
On numerous times I’ve had the cruise control set to 95 mph and was passed!
I know right where that's at.
I've crossed that a few times on a motorycle.
You don't even look at the speedometer, you just look at how fast the miles are turning over. Lol
My truck was bouncing off the governor the whole stretch..ha
Speed limits are merely suggestions in all of Texas lmao
Last time I was on it, I had my cruise set at 100 and got passed by an f350 with a loaded horse trailer.
@@DeepwaterjewPoor horses musta been wobbly legged and deaf when they got where they were going!
We’re reviving our old unlimited class Camaro that we raced at this Big Bend Open Road Race in the past. Glad to see this kind of racing get some airtime on RUclips. It’s a blast whether you’re in a lower class doing 100 mph or unlimited nearing 200.
I see my grandpas ZO6 in one of the pics. Thats pretty awesome!
My dad and I ran this race for years. We won the 135 class in 2007 and the 140 mph class in 2012 with a 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2. Our total error on 118 miles on the 2012 run was 3 feet by compensating for tire growth. Great road and a super fun time.
The event in Neb is generally full and you have to have been a participant in the past to get in. They drive some pretty crazy roads in the sandhills and have some stretches that allow you to go 150+ mph.
The Sandhills Open Road Challenge(SORC) is awesome. I've never driven, but I have been there to watch and check it out. So much fun and a great atmosphere. The sandhills are beautiful to drive through but the roads can get tight.
i just went drove from houston to arlington round trip over the weekend. i can confirm there are no speed limits
Lol some would think there are no speed limits on the highways around Dallas.
What speed limits? Everyone from Dallas to Huston passes me after I’m a little above the posted suggestions 🫠😂😂
@@monti-man8207felony speeding or get ran over pretty much out here
What car would you choose with no speed limits on the open roads of Texas?
Realistically? C6 ZR1. Unrealistic? LFA
We're registered in April with a 59 Rambler. Veteran 24 Hours of Lemons car with Mustang SN95 drivetrain and suspension.
Doge viper to live childhood dream probably
Ideally - Porsche 911 - they can sit at those speeds all day long and do that comfortably ;)
I have competed at BBORR in.... a 2012 MazdaSpeed3, a 2013 F150, a retired Busch Series Stock Car, a 1972 240Z, and a 2012 Mini Cooper S. I have competed in 13 BBORR events, I have 9 podiums, 7 firsts, 2 seconds, and twice been the overall winner with most accurate time of anyone in any class. I retired from driving in October having met my goal of a podium in every class 125 and lower, sadly never got to run the 85 class before it was dropped. I will navi for my dad in April 2024 in a 2007 Dodge Magnum in the 110 class.
As a bmw owner I confirm this on and off message for cylinder misfires 😂😂
You caught the back end of my Charger Hellcat @ the 7:01 mark, lol. Wish I would have been able to meet you at the event this past October - sounds like someone I would have had a great time sitting around, drinking a beer & listening to stories with! BBORR is such a great event - both the people who put it on & the local communities do an outstanding job hosting it. Good Times!
A college buddy of mine lived on a road that this race ran through. His dad built up a faaaast 7.3 4 door dually to run in it.
SORC in Arnold Nebraska is another good one. Sandhills are seriously underrated for fun driving roads
Great job, Chris! 👍🏁
First heard about these events when I was a kid (teenager) about 25+ years ago during a Discover Channel docu (Extreme Machines?? I think). Always wanted to do one, bit far away from The Netherlands, maybe one day!
That lending scheme in the advertisement is BS, that pre-computed interest used to be known as rule of 78. So say you borrow $10,000, and then the next day you pay $5,000, when your first payment date comes, you still owe the same amount, you are still paying on the interest that was pre-computed, so the bottom line is, there is no benefit to early payment whatsoever., However, there is benefit too early payoff, so at that point the interest stops. it is a very crooked way to lend, almost all places like one main financial or mariner use it so not saying this particular place is so bad, just that warning about what they act is such a great thing is anything but.
This bloke tells a good story, see if he's got any more in him!
Chris Hays is a badass! ABG!
As someone who grew up racing the roads of the Texas Hill Country, I can’t imagine needing a map or course notes, but then again I could only reach a maximum speed of about 120 mph, but mostly drove about 85-90 mph because I wasn’t driving modern sports cars. What’s needed more than anything else is someone warning you of the wildlife in the road… deer, turkey, hogs, and more. I definitely need to look into this. It would be nice to do it again without needing to worry about speeding tickets. 😂
Thanks for sharing your story.
Just ran this for the first time in April, as a rookie you are limited to the 110 mph class. i have the northbound leg dashcam footage on my page.
I live in Oakland, CA and oddly enough Mexico is a block away from me.
Montana we got up to 173 in a camaro late night on ten miles of strait road good ol chapman's bench
I lived in Fort Stockton, Texas (the starting line) when they started doing this race. It was always a fantastic event!
Check out the Sandhills Open Road Challenge that gets hosted every year. It’s a 55 mile high speed paved road rally that also has a flying mile challenge where you are only limited to the top speed of your vehicle. It’s been happening since 2001, I believe.
Great vid! Entering the BBORR has always been my dream. Still it’s a time trail, rally …. I find it hard to call it a race or street racing.
I lived in Sanderson TX for a few years and they had this ever year it was pretty cool
I'm playing EA sports WRC and they have an event called regularity rally. In this event you have to maintain a specified average speed you reach the checkpoint at a certain time and you get a penalty for arriving too early for too late. I thought that was a cool event in the game and here they are doing it in real life on city streets! Awesome world we live in
I met an older gentleman in Gail TX with a Z06 that told me about this in 2020.
I've been trying to go ever since.
118 mile no speed limit Road race. Or as Fernando Alonso would call that, lunchtime.
As an owner of a heavily modified BMW I can attest to having cleared a limp mode cylinder deactivation code while flying down the freeway, on multiple occasions. 🤘🏽
Watch out for the run off of that strip, there are flowers there for a reason
Would be a lot of fun! Wish they had something like that up here.
great story! would of loved it if they had an event like that in Northern usa! or in Canada
SORC is in Nebraska.
#ABG, Chris.
I imagine doing it in that NA Miata was an absolute blast! 😃
Huh. This would be a cool road trip. May try road tripping and running this with my Jaguar F-Pace in Oct. Kind of sad it would be limited to 125 for my first event but still a great time.
I have wanted to go open road racing ever since I read the first article about Big Red. I finally have a car again that can do it and I want to do it this year in the fall or next year.
if only there were roads like these in florida 💔
um I95? I got passed on the right by a cop while I was doing 95 in the left lane
@@THESLlCK u not wrong but i live on the other side of florida 😂 tampa
@@weloveyouuaj Yea I'm sorry dawg it's over for you
In Northeim australia the Highways have no speed limit .like the Autobahn
I would LOVE this...
Something about going 145mph in the Middle of Nowhere, Texas❤️
What a great story.
Nice name
Any chance there's something like this near michigan? Or only out west?
Watched the entire thing waiting to see the viper in the thumbnail and it was only about a miata 😂😂
Sounds fun
Where and when does the one in Nebraska take place? I’ve never heard of it
Big Bend Octane Fest!
Finally, the moment all those math word problems in school have a practical real-world use.
i didnt know this was a thing Im going to have to do this some day
This dudes dad is awesome bwahahaha
wonder if anyone dealt with cooling issues thats a hell of a test
I apologize for my ignorance but what would this sort of event be called so I can research it as I would love to compete. Thank you in advance for any help. Wonderful oratory of your experience. Thank you for sharing it with us all.
Open Road Racing
@@dougmasters3875
Thank you
85? That car is slow af. 85 is cruising speed in my city.
Sounds like the M5 had dirty VANOS solenoids. A quick clean would have gotten it through the race without missfires.
Miata Is Always The Answer!
I live in Big Bend this event is legit
I wonder if you can do this race on my motorcycle 😝
I've now found what I want to do
If gxxr Brah is in trouble none of amyone who speeds is safe
Hey editor, the audio is a bit on the quiet side.
We could use these events in the East coast. Also
#miataisalwaystheanswer
This is weird; every Time Speed Distance rally ive ever heard of was "at normal road speeds". I always thought well whats the point? I can drive at normal road speeds on any road any time I want; whats the point of the rally?
Sounds like i need to take my civic on a road trip and see how fast the vtec will take me
Whare in nebraska
Do they allow motorcycles?
Whew that intro is annoying. I've probably only heard it a few thousand times, but I don't need to hear it anymore. Think of the shear number of hours are wasted by people hearing the intro again for the nth time. Just get rid of it altogether, you already have the logo on the bottom right the whole time.
AGREEDDDDDDD!!!!
Whew, you can shut the front door.
@@izzyplusplusplus1004 How many times have you heard it?
@@jacksonsmith5490 How many times did you watch any other show and complain about the intro?
@@izzyplusplusplus1004 A lot. Often they spare us going forward.
So, first we go to mexico, right...?
Nowhere near Chicago, of course. lol figures
Hello commenters
What a bullcrap... i drive a couple of km to the next Autobahn and when i see a no speed limit sign, i can press my pedal to the asphalt. Of course i have to obey all rules of the street and when traffic is dense i will have to brake a lot... but noone can stop me from going as fast as my old vehicle will do😂
No speed limit in Texas.
US Freedom, Hold our beers. 😁😂🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Here to boooooooost the Algo
A GTR hit 223 last october.
I thought we drove as fast as we wanted all the time.
*there were hard feelings he just let you off the hook 😂
What are your thoughts on that Canadian realtor selling property to include a Porsche GT3? 5 year vs 30 year car payment. Probably there are restrictions for selling early.
There ain't no such thing as a speed limit in Texas 😂
On the 130 toll road that leads from Seguin to just north of Georgetown, the speed limit on the southern half is 85 mph and 80 mph on the northern half. I’ve set the cruise control to 95 mph and still routinely get passed!
My driving record proves that statement incorrect.
Go to Montana they literally don't have speed limits in some places
Nobody drives the posted speed limit around the Houston area
Thats definitely not an M5 😂
If u wanna go fast in Texas just make sure a dually hauling a horse trailer don’t pass ya
Good find Ed, the real winner here is the ol' man, still out here chirpin' gears, snappin' necks and cashin' checks. In his seventies and just bifurcating the law, snapping it in twain.
Are the brothers allowed to beat their dad? Or will that cause family war?
So far, it’s about a 50/50 split on trophies with my brothers. Lots of side bets.
@@Gambler500Florida Glad to hear it’s friendly and competitive!
Next time pull over , You were a danger to your other competitors. Your head wasn't in the race, and that not good for anyone. But i do believe in no harm, no foul.
In hindsight you are correct. This kind of malfunction was new to us, so I made a judgement call. Next time we will become spectators.
Noooooo we have enough yankees here already dont expose us lol 😂 JK y'all come and visit
Texas is a sh*t show for speed. The state highway speed limit is 75. Everyone drives 90+ is actually terrifying.
The 130 toll road from Seguin to just north of Georgetown has a speed limit of 85 for the southern half, and 80 for the northern half. I’ve set the cruise control for 95 mph and have gotten passed on several occasions.
I30 east out of Dallas is often cruise control at 105 mph to stay with the flow
@@jeffreyjones3616cool story
Same thing in Atlanta. 😉
Meh, doing 90+ while lane splitting on the freeway is nothing on a sports bike...
This was a boring episode
Video volume is too low , I have my phones volume maxed and can barely hear it
Sounds like a you problem since I can hear just fine
Call me crazy, but it doesn’t sound like fun at all… trying to hit some “perfect” time… where one second off gets you 2nd place… it isn’t a “race” at that point, or even a fun drive.
What does the title have to do with anything! Thumbs down

Geezzz, got away with one here. Pretty carless conduct if ya askin me. Hopefully they learned a lesson so they don't kill anyone with their silly antics. I don't think i'd be so open to share my jackass behavior on VinWiki. Jus sayin.
Boring
Cool video. You lost me at "BMW mechanically sound".
Owned a few , they are rolling nightmares. Never again.
I remember a guy telling us "BMW is the worst car ever made" ?
Let's get cooking.
Disagree, I have a 328i and it’s been mechanical sound. Now electronics are something else.
