By 1991, Big Red’s star power was beyond doubt. In May, Dan and RJ brought it out again for the Nevada Open Road Challenge — the spring installment of the Silver State Classic. For RJ, the race was a no brainer, since it’s exactly the same race as the SSCC his father Dan had helped to start. By now the story was more than just some fearless kid in a Camaro, but the Camaro itself. It was a monster of a car, but a strangely accessible one that drew spectators away from the Ferraris and Corvettes in the pre-race car show. Fans, however, didn’t come out that mild spring day to see Big Red shine in the sun at a car show. While the day before had been windy and even had a little late snow, on race day it was dry and clear. RJ uneventfully pushed that 800-horsepower engine to a top speed of 208 mph, with an average speed of 189.25 mph for the 92-mile race. Even though the road was rougher this year and speeds were down from previous attempts, it was a relatively smooth ride, and fast enough for RJ to again take home the firstplace trophy in the unlimited class. That September, All Chevy ran a three-page spread on Big Red, and two months later she was featured in Turbo & Hi-Tech Performance magazine.
