How many of you guys are planning on going ?
Whats the best days to go over for ?

Thanks in Advance!

Steve D, fancy a road trip ;) :D haha!

Adele

I'll be going for sure, it's a great weekend! I wont be taking my GTV though, as just found out that there wont be a show on Fremont Street on Saturday >:(

I'll be going- who called shotgun?

I'll be going. I'm not sure if I'm driving or flying but I'm going for sure. I guess the show that used to be on fremont street has been moved somewhere else.

ME

:D
(please)

Haha, Richie's in the trunk then!

Happy Days ;)

Steve, when you going over what dates ?

:)

Dates for Vegas?  I don't plan that far in advance.

Weekend of October 3-5.

There is still a SAturday show, it just moved to a nice new mall by the airport. Maybe someone from Vegas can weigh in?

Woohoo, Flights booked 2nd to the 16th got my helmet and suitcases ready :D

Here's a link to the Saturday show info...

We'll be at the track making some runs Saturday night as well as the main event on Sunday

Thanks Mike i'll take a look :)

Just checked the flight prices, not as expensive as i thought. anything on the weekend after? ;D

We got them for £350 with Virgin Direct, were off the Mammouth the weekend after :)

Just had a search and found the Hot Rod Reunion at bakersfield 10-12th ;D

If you want Hot Rod overload and a face full of nitro fumes, the Hot Rod reunion is IT!

Better check into tickets now tho.

famosoraceway.com

just found flights for £252 return via mineapolis(sp), think i'm going to have to book ;D

I decided that 4 of us will be stuffing into the GTV, after all ::) Split gas and a room 4 ways, sounds like cheap funn to mee :)

I'm just a little nervous about leaving it in a parking garage :-\

ashleys 356 outlaw will make a showing. possible attempt at that 10sec barrier.

Rollin' slow and steady with a 69' Deluxe from Los Angeles  8) 

Damn thats renegade.  I'll be there with Team Bad Behavior I think we are taking the coach.

anyone from the uk want to go and share car/room costs ;D

Ben,

When are you landing in LA ?

Adele

I can't wait brother!!!!!  ;D

Man, I'd like to go, my VW enthusiasm needs a shot in the arm given the limited number of events I've been to this year... Bug In 33 was definitely worth it, as was the Woodburn, Oregon Bug Run, but I'm needing to get my fix.  Don't know if I can afford a trip to Vegas right now, though... :'(

Hi Adele, haven't booked it yet but i'm planning on flying on friday 3rd(am flight) and driving as close to vegas as possible, i'll probably be awake at 4am on saturday so i'll probably arrive in vegas around 6 or 7 ;D

If you've got room in your suitcase for me, I'm there. :)

19 Days...Not that i am counting.... Much.  :-X

try hotwire ;)
you'll get a suite/room for less than $40 a night , and a car for less than $15 a day

Thanks for that Ian, although the car prices don't include the CDW, good for rooms though, plus i think i might've found a big hairy gearbox builder to go with ;D

maybe if you use your creditcard to pay , they cover the collision damage waiver ??

try carhire3000

12 days until we fly out, 13 until Vegas :D

I heard your bus will be working Taxi duty ;)

booked my flights yesterday ;D

i was lookin at flights yesterday to fly to oc today ........  very , very cheap :D

airfrance had a cheap return through lax .

i will be booking maybe tommorrow for next week .

I booked with american airlines, £355return :o

I'll be driving out friday with two of my brothers. We'll be taking my WRX due to the high gas prices, so if you see me, say "HI"!

Here's what my WRX looks like:

Talked to my sister today who lives about 20 mins. from the track and she told me there was 60% chance of rain Oct. 5th... Man I hope the forecast changes during the week.

I was talking to Cindy the other day and mentioned "Wouldn't it be just hilarious if it rained Vegas weekend?" She looked at me with a scowl!

Weather.com is calling for sunny skies and high 80s as of midnight tonight (Sep27)

We'll be leaving right after work on Thursday, and roll through the night for the 400 mile tow. Should be there Friday morning in very early AM

well that was nice to see....it says 20% chance now sunny and 86.   Game On!!!

Lots of english in town so you never know :D,we havent had a race meet this year it didnt rain at :o  See you there

cheers richie

so all is ready? i hope there is some coverage we can follow on the net to see if i need to rescedule my holidays to come and fix your car.  ;D really would like to be there and see it, but even a teacher has to work from time to time. good luck and have fun. btw i have heard that american 9 seconds are longer as european ones...  :o

We will be lucky if we leave by 5pm Friday... 4 hour drive... maybe we'll make Findlays?

Pod this weekend was Sunny and pretty warm! Im hoping i can pack the weather to bring with me just in case!

:)

Adele

Our 'street' cars are OK in the wet.  ;D

be careful you lot.... too many english and there normally a war !

 ;D 2 sleeps to go!!  ;D ;D

Just working through my list of parts to order now  ;D ;D

yeah yeah keep rubbing it in.

You enjoy yourselfs

Any of you who come from the other side of the big water, be sure to stop and introduce yourself either at our pit space or in the lanes. Just don't be too put out if I can't talk after we've strapped in for our run! I'll try and catch up with you later in that case.

Adele, we may need some of that sunny weather. Looks like scattered thunderstorms on Saturday, but still sunny for Sundays show.

woo hoo, leave in the morning, still not sunk in yet, no doubt it will when I can't sleep on the flight over ;D

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Sorry to rub it in Frank  ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D

Mike I hope we get a chance to meet up and I hope Adele does pack the sun!!

Oil is draining out of the GTV as I type this, gotta check the valves in the ayem, give her a wash and vacuum tomorrow, and we'll be good-to-go ;D

Hey Mike,

I did try and get over but Susy and i seemed to have our backsides glued to our seats waiting in line to be called all day !!  ::)

Well done on the Win i did manage to get down and see the final :)

Adele

Thanks Adele!

I saw Susy there at the motorhome when I was talking to Mike. I reckon we'll meet another day. I hope you enjoyed yourself aside from the waiting.
