When is the Silver State 300?

The Silver State 300 is held every April near Tonopah, Nevada. It's a key mid-season points race in the BITD National Desert Cup championship.

How does altitude affect desert racing?

At 5,000+ feet, engines lose power due to thinner air. Turbocharged UTVs and forced-induction trucks are less affected, but naturally aspirated vehicles need altitude-compensating fuel systems. Cooling is also critical as radiators are less efficient at altitude.

Can you build a vehicle for the Silver State 300 from Las Vegas?

Yes! Our Las Vegas shop is the closest major race fabrication facility to Tonopah. We build and prep vehicles for the Silver State 300 and transport them to the race start.

What Makes the Silver State 300 Unique

Unlike races near Las Vegas or Parker, the Silver State 300 takes place in Nevada's high desert near Tonopah — at elevations exceeding 5,000 feet. The thinner air affects engine performance, the terrain is rockier and more technical, and the remoteness of the course means your vehicle must be bulletproof. Dust, altitude, and temperature swings from hot days to cold nights create challenges that flat-desert races don't. Vehicles need robust cooling systems, altitude-compensating fueling, and suspension tuned for rocky terrain.

Building for the Silver State 300

Our Silver State 300 builds focus on reliability and protection. Every vehicle gets reinforced skid plates and belly armor for the rocky course, upgraded cooling systems to compensate for altitude, BITD-spec roll cages with gussets and proper bracing, long-travel suspension tuned for technical terrain (not just high-speed flats), and race communication and GPS tracking systems. We build for UTV, truck, and buggy classes, and we can retrofit existing race vehicles for the unique demands of high-desert racing.
