Shawn, the whole shop has set aside O/T to get the "Bad Ass" completely interiored to have it totally primo. Guys, bug the crap out him to get him to at least make one pass with it. It would help in making a sale on it. Anyone have a big open back account?We would love to come home emptied trailered. It would be great to have as many as possible people there to let the East coast guys know the West is alive and well with GN's. See ya all there. Mark

Reminders, etc.
Reminders:
1. Registration closes Saturday Sept. 20th.
2. All payments must be received on/by Sept. 20th (so if you register in that last week, you'll have to use PayPal).
3. Silverton Hotel releases any unregistered rooms back into the general pool at full price on Sept. 10th.
2 of the 3 organizers have become dad's this year. Although some personal priorities have changed, we're all working to make this another great event.
The last I checked (a few days ago), I'm still only seeing ~70 Supras that are planning on racing. Blue Oval Bash (aka Mustangs, etc.) haven't put together a website, so maybe we scared them with last year?
So far, we have 31 participants in classes (some people are in more than one class). However, reading various posts, it appears that it'll be much like last year with several opting for registration during the event.
Only about 6 weeks left until the event!

I definitely think the Mousewangers brought knives to a gun fight last year.. (...and they realize it now... maybe there won't be any smack talk.??) That smack talk website last year was cool, BTW....
Anyway - I get a "cannot determine IP address from web address" error message when trying to load the westcoastnats website... Ideas..???

When we asked for rooms this year, they didn't seem interested in continuing as we've done in the past. This could be a multitude of reasons, but probably because they "know" they can fill those same rooms at the full price to regular gambling guests.
Yes, Blue Diamond Rd is south of the Las Vegas Strip, so you'll be going right through the city (via I-15) directly to the track. This is only adding about 5 miles onto the trip from previous years, and now there's no highway changing (just a direct shot).

Jack, is there a room, lounge or area at the hotel where we can get together as a group sometime Friday/Saturday night?
That was a shortcomming at the Main Street hotel in past years.

I very rarely go there myself. Years ago, before it was called Silverton, it had a great Sunday morning breakfast buffet. Then I tried it about 3 years ago and it was lousy. I don't think I've been there since. I looked at their website, and didn't get any good inidication of large bars, etc. We'll just have to make do.
Hey Nick / Jack - Why don't we just have a big ass tailgate party in the parking lot..?? Do you think the Silverton folks will mind..?? It will give us an opportunity to socialize around the cars, hang out in the warm summer oven, rehydrate with carbonated pisswater (aka light beer), and maybe grill some goodies, or just have a burnout contest...

We tried a picnic/brew-ha-ha thing last year and it flopped worse than the Pontiac Aztec. At one point, it looked like we were going to be flooded with people (lots of interest), but then when the schedule changed, very few showed up.
Jon's house is kinda close to this year's hotel, but because of the above, I won't suggest it. You might think twice about the burnout contest...
It always easy to find an excuse to drink!

Can't blame me!! I was ready to pound a few..!! At any rate, I still think it would be a great idea - just need to find a "hook" to get folks out to the parking lot at the same time, that's it...!! Let the rest happen... We went for a drive up/down the strip last year, which was fun, but crowded.. (uncapped exhaust and all!)
