there is a slight chance I could arrange for us to do "parade laps" at Spring Mountain - at safe speed behind a pace car... this was a kind offer - but that's a long drive down there and back for only parade laps.

Cars and Coffee would be willing to set-up a special area for our group - I know the guy that runs it and can easily arrange for this.

the drive we have planned for after C&C will be great!

I'm surprised that insurance is the thing preventing a track rental. It's not hard or that expensive to rent a track for the day in Michigan. A couple thousand, gets you the track, flaggers, and ems on site

I'm really close to being a definite maybe.

If I go, we can meet up on the 15 east of LA and caravan it from there. If JayG attends, he can join us too. Of course, he may want to make a move on you.

Assuming JayG doesn't look much like Selma Hayek?? Caravan would be good so you could keep him the hell away from me!!

Caravan sounds great.

I hope to leave early Friday AM to beat the rush.

We ain't in Kansas, Toto. I think earlier someone looked into it and it was about $20K for a day in Vegas. Something on that order or cost. Who here has that info.?

The cart track at Las Vegas Speedway looks fun. I wonder how much that is to rent for a few hours or half a day.

It says the track is configurable. I suggest a figure 8 configuration. The middle intersection makes things much more interesting.

I am super excited! I can't wait to put some names and faces together. Although based off the video Some Russian guy posted from his trip, we might have seen enough of certain faces!

Are you sure you will be able to keep up?
