If anyone is in town, come out to the kicker air bash. I am not sure the details, but it will be Wed. or Thurs. night. I believe it will be in the Palms parking lot again this year.

Was planning on attending this year since Ford is the official automotive supplier this year but alas...I'll be cruising the Caribbean seas for 10 days during SEMA.
Don't worry though,I'll have a fancy tropical drink while I lay on the beach and think of you guys...:lol:

I will be staying at the Hilton Saturday to Saturday. The Farm truck has to go in the Meguiars booth on Saturday the 31st. The Chassisworks camaro will be outside for Chassisworks.
We will be looking for entertainment after the show most nights during the show. We have heard about a few parties and things will come togther for some nights during the show. But usually most of us go out to dinner one night during the week of the show. Just don't let who ever picked last years Italian anywhere near the selection committee.... HAHA

We noticed that going on last year as we were heading to the P2 go-cart racing facility. Looked like it was a pretty cool setup they had there at the Palms. We were gonna try and swing back by there but wasn't sure if it was an open event or not.
P2 is a fun time too btw.

John, yeah its open to the public. There are bands, freestyle motorcross, a bunch of cool vendors, a few cars, a pit bike race. I was there last year when Pastrana jumped off the Palms. Quite a few motorcross guys were there last year. MTV crew was there filming Nitro Circus.
Pole position would be a killer idea to meet up, race, hang out. http://www.polepositionraceway.com/vegas/ For those of you not familiar these go karts are awesome!! Every once in awhile we go and race at the one here in OKC. Lots of fun.

Pole Position would be really cool. Last year we had picked up some of the GoPro cameras at the show. That night P2 let us mount them to our go-carts :D . Pretty cool.
Last year some of the vendors, etc, had some sort of multi lap/driver deal going one night. Lasted a while so they must have rented the entire place for a few hours. I can try and get details. Maybe we should try and get some race up where Lat-G and some of the other forums' members line up against the vendors here :lateral: .

The FM3 staff would be up for a night of kart racing and then whatever comes next! We usually hook up at least one night with Scott and the Lat-G guys and stay out til Scott starts to wobble!! Fun stuff!

OK. Leave to Frank to pull out all the stops and mention go-cart racing with the big dogs. This means we'd need rules :rofl: . HA! My donation to the cause would go up though if I get to race on track with these guys :lateral: .
I've also read enough about MaryP on here that I'd want to be on her team :thumbsup: .

How about you bring them for Beers not Kart racing.
You and I have a size / weight penalty! I am out there running 29s certain no human could go faster and those guys are running 4 seconds faster, LOL!
I life long friend of mine is very close to Tommy Kendall, Paul Tracy, Jimmy Vassar. Those guys all race together. I will tell you who is fast, Motorcycle builder Jesse Rooke. He not a big guy, real light, and a former kart racer, and the fastest of the bunch. Thing is in those groups, these things "Just happen". I think Boilermaker was in on a trip with Vassar and Rooke. Boilermaker is no lightweight either.
I my friend Mike is in town, we will get someone there.
As for beers, we need to do that first, LOL!

Looks like it is $9k minimum for exclusive rental of entire facility. That's a lotta jack :yes: .
Last year we just did 3 quick races and went through $80 or so I think. So... for that much track time I'd think it would still be a good deal even if it costs us $150 a person. Probably need a better count of who might really be interested to see if it is feasible to do a rental or more informal thing. That or some good corporate sponsors :lol:

You wouldn't want the whole facility, Just a group booking, just work out how many people and for how many races, and of course a Cup to the winner.

Not that anyone give .02 -- but I'll be there (the Bellagio) arriving the 2nd and then staying thru Friday so I can go out over the hump to the dump - Pahrump (been there before so don't try to convince me that it's paradise...LOL). I want to see the Optima battery thing.
I'm going to drive my big azzzzz truck down... so I'll leave on the the 1st... and head out of Pahrump after the shootout -- unless you guys can convince me to join you for dinner or something... and then I'd stay over and head home on Sunday....
So far I don't have a ticket for the show... but I should be able to handle that. Since I just decided to go about an hour ago!
TODD -- Prepare to get ready!! :rofl:

When I did the Spring Mountain thing a couple years ago - one of my buddies asked the hotel clerk, "So other than gambling - what's the big industry in Pahrump?" As dead pan as she could, she says, "Hookers"... She was about 70 if she was a day... and this answer came just matter of fact. You could have put a bath towel in Johns mouth it was open so wide.
Okay - so you've been in Pahrump! First - those aren't "real casinos" -- they're more like the indian joints we have up here.... and second -- no hookers for me ever! But even if I was so inclined - I sure as heck wouldn't be looking for one THERE!!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA <the smell of burning rubber - no pun intended>

"Miller bar" is on the Strip side of the Famingo. On the corner. So if you can see across the street and see the Bellagio you're in the right place.
