Today we got word of a new motorsport event that will go down this summer near Virginia City, Nevada.

The Spectre 341 Challenge is a hillclimb event being put on Spectre Performance in the spirit of the old Virginia City Hillclimb. This no-holds barred run down a closed mountain road is open to everything from pro-touring muscle cars to tuner cars. They must, however, be street-registered vehicles.

More details are on the way, but it's sounding like quite the event and we are planning on making the trip up to Nevada to check it out.

For now, you can find more, including the rules and entry info on the official event website.

Interesting. I wonder if this event is replacing the Virginia City Hillclimb? I ran this race in a 2001 Mitsubishi Evolution VII RS back in 2004.
