Whos runnin this year?
If you want to get 5 runs out of an afternoon this is the event to run at.
track is usally really sticky for the big boys. (not like test and tune) no water tracking FWDs either.
I hope the GSs dont take the bracket racing win again. My TR is down but ill still be there with my kid.

FYI
I was there Apr 21 for PDD. They shut the track down after 2 runs due to sand blowing on the track.
The gravel pit has stockpiled a ~6ft berm along the west (upwind) side of the return road. They tried soaking it with a water truck but the strong breeze and sun dried it right back out.
Most of the runs were single file. left lane than right lane.
I wasnt affected even though my Grand Prix ran a new PB at 13:48, but the 12.5 guys were shutting down at 1/2 track.

You will have NO complaints with Vegas. If you do then you've got other things to worry about.

less weight in the rear vs a regal, etc , etc

with the 150mm turbo, and 300 lb inj,
