The drive through the "Valley of Fire" looks fun.

I do the drive at least once per month.... only bummer is they are REALLY strict about speed (in state park).... one you leave VOF and head into the federal park - you can go much faster

No aerokit, not enough powered wheels, has a silly hole in the roof, missing a spoke on the steering wheel, and is pricey for a track toy.

I pretty much figured that you'd be the guy in the beige Prius driving at 25 mph in front of us.

Update: T-Shirt design is coming along well!!! Right now, I'm calling it PorschePallooza, since that was the first name. B3's flyer calls it RennRun.

What name do you guys want for it?

^^^My graphic was originally called "PorschePallooza 2017", because I remembered the title of this thread. I can easily change it in the graphic if ya'll want to. Kalash called it "RennRun" in his email to me.

Won't find one of those POSes in our stable

996, e90, 958

Virginia will also be happy to confirm that "slow" and "speed limit" are not things I'm familiar with

We got stuck with a rental Prius once out in SFO. And they call the Cayenne a Pig? Good god that thing was a POS that couldn't get out of it's own way!

IkoIko911, can you please speak to the C&C people about giving us a separate section on Saturday?

I am talking to karting places right now about pricing and catering. LV Mini Grand Prix is $1,500/hour ($800/hour during weekday) for track rental on Sunday + catering. I will have a full pricing from their GM some time early next week. Pole Position karting is $3,000/hour + catering, which I think is way too much.

Mike, please use "RennRun 2017" on the shirts. For reasoning, you can PM me.

Ok, here is the proposed Sunday itinerary:

Time Sunday
10:00-11:30 Meet at Peppermill Restaurant at 2985 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 for breakfast.
12:00-14:30 Karting at Las Vegas Mini Grand Prix track at 1401 N Rainbow Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89108. $46/two hour wristband.
15:00-16:30 Free time for participants to explore, take pictures, or mingle, get changed, shop etc.
17:00-24:00+ Meet for drinks, food and final "goodbyes" at Hofbräuhaus at 4510 Paradise Road, Las Vegas, NV 89169.
24:00+ Sleep or drive home time for the remaining attendees.

G911, please update the first page with the Sunday's itinerary and latest attendees list.

For karting, the cheapest option right now is for us to show up for the LVMGP and buy the $46 two hour unlimited rides band and drive race with each other and other guests. If we rent the track on Sunday, assuming we get total of 25 people then it still comes out to $120/person+food.

Attached are the pricing sheets from LVMGP.
