October 6, 7 & 8, 2005

The fourth race in the BITD Silver State Series is the notorious Vegas to Reno , a 500 plus mile race starting in Las Vegas , NV and ending in Reno , NV . To date, there are only 29 quads pre-entered in the race, down from the 48 entries at the Parker 250, the first race of the year. Entries are slowly dwindling as the season progresses, a trend we see every year when quad teams drop out due to low class point scores. However, we could end up seeing a lot of last minute entries at Contingency on Thursday.

Pro Class top five teams are neck and neck in series points going into this race:

1 st : Jimmy Stephensen 216 pts.

2 nd : Wayne Matlock 212 pts.

3 rd : Josh Frederick 209 pts.

4 th : Greg Row 209 pts.

5 th : Shaun Moore 207 pts.

The Sportsman Class (a combo of the Experts and Amateurs) top five teams in the series so far are:

1 st : David McCarroll 245 pts.

2 nd : Brett Callen 239 pts.

3 rd : Mike Powada 225 pts.

4 th : Eric Pealstrom 218 pts.

5 th : Richard Youngblood 214 pts.

The results of the Nevada 1000 put a lot of top contenders out of the running for the series class championship, with a whopping 131pts awarded to the first place Expert, Gregory Price; and a 125pts to first place Pro, Wayne Matlock. A similar point system has been used in the past for Vegas to Reno , with teams getting a huge 30 point bonus just for crossing the finish line.

Having two major events like Nevada 1000 and a Vegas to Reno in the same race season is keeping us all guessing who will be the 2005 Champions!

I'll be updating you with all the news from Contingency Row at the Gold Coast Casino in sunny Las Vegas , so keep checking back here for the latest details.
