SR 305 provides one of the straightest, smoothest and most ideal road surfaces in the world for HPV records. The 4,619ft (1,408m) altitude road provides riders a 5 mile acceleration zone, enabling them to reach their maximum velocity before being timed over a 200 meter distance. The section of the road used for this event was newly refinished in 2009, with a smooth surface specially prepared for human powered vehicle racing by the Nevada Department of Transportation, using a Nevada Department of Tourism Grant from the US government.

Please note: The WHPSC is adopting an additional safety requirement for all vehicles:

"A retention means sufficient to hold the rider in the vehicle during a 360 degree roll is required, commencing at WHPSC 2019."

While this is not an official IHPVA rule at this time, it is an additional requirement by the WHPSC.
We also encourage teams to include in their design a roll-bar or similar structure to protect the rider in the event of roll-over.
