BHSCC (Black Hills Sports Car Club) is currently getting Needles Hwy closed for an open road race. We are taking applications, there are only 50 spots open for this event. Rules and regulations will be held up on our sight. We are working with Custer State Park, South Dakota DOT, and Custer County Chamber of Commerce. We are in the works of getting the web-site up. We should have this up soon.
Location:
The road course is located in Custer, South Dakota at Custer State Park. The course is 7.59 miles long and has over 84 turns. We should have enough time in the day to allow three runs. That's a total of OVER 22 miles of racing fun. If you are interested in attending please email [email protected]. Please have the subject as "Race the Needles." The teching and rules are very strict, we reserve the right to turn down any racer/car we see not fit for this event.Costs:400.00 per car/50.00 for Navigator/10.00 for spectator.
Again you can email me at [email protected] subject "Race the Needles."When: Saturday, April 25th, 2009 race day. We will do this rain or dry, but NO SNOW. There will be a drivers safety meeting on the 24th of April at Silvan Lake.

Phone: We WILL NOT be handing these out to anyone.I or my crew will contact you to ask further questions. Please be as descriptive as possible. In the case that the event is cancelled your money WILL BE refunded.
I have only on little video of the type of road it is. I am sure you all have questions, but I can tell you this road is one of the best. This video is when it is crappy. It will NOT be sandy, but it could be wet it just depends.

sounds very fun! but where is said video???

NSFW-language. Keep in mind the road will be in much better shape come raceday. all corners will be swept to ensure no gravel remains.

I would be down for this. However, with the distance I would have to travel and the actual cost to run, I'll just go spend a day at BIR for racing fun(cheaper, safer, and more seat time).
If anyone from up here is going, I will be willing to tag along and be a "co-driver"
Looks like a fun road to play on. If I ever make it down to that area I will have to find it. Where is it located?

If it is asphalt or another other paved surface, I think SDDOT needs to think about how much sand they are dropping on roads.You are correct, this road should be a blast and again I want to stress that we will be sweeping every corner before the event. There will be no gravel/sand in sight!

idk for that kind of money, id rather drive to BIR and race all day and do as many laps as i want!

Yes it would be a totally different thing. But, its a public road that we can go drive on for free when ever we want.

You are right it is a public road. I you attempted to drive this road while it's open to the public like you would at this event you would likely hurt someone and/or end up with a big ticket. This is a legal event with proper insurance, hence the entrance fee.
