We attended both years with two cars, it was a blast
and one of the run races I have been to in last 60 years!

Lots of activities and things to do all the time. Car Show/Slalom/
Concert/Swap Meet/ Barbecue/More! First year Jon even got to the Finals
in his Superstocker and had a big time payout unlike most of the races we attend.

It is fun to be the featured show and center of attraction for the Fans = for a change!

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

I would love to run this race if anyone has a car available in the area..

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

I'm debating on running this race, in a bracket class.

Good luck with the Combo Class, hope you get the 50 cars! What has been the car count in the past years?

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

Over 50 racers showed up for the first 2. Normally the weather is doable if not great. There is a lot of money to win. Last year numerous folks besides Phil put up some cash prizes. Like my dear friend John Irving said. Car shows, swapmeet, plenty of activities. Plus it's Vegas if you are traveling.

My son whose Business is Boulder City Trailers put up
$1,000 in the name of his business (Not Contingent). In return a couple of
Stock/SS people ended up generously buying trailers from him.

A Win/Win for everyone! Plus, he brought home a good
chunk of the $10,000.00 purse.

Absolutely one of the best times we have ever had at a Racetrack.

We may have a couple of rental Stock/SS cars available
for that race.

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

That's interesting! Any details you care to share? I think you would be selective on who rents. ;)

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

If interested PM us.

Preferences to people that we know.

We really hope that it will draw at least 50 guys
this year so that we can keep it going. Opportunities
for places to race Stock/SS for any decent money are
dreadfully limited out here.

The payoffs at this race are excellent, but every round
is a tough one!

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

Thanks John!

I'll talk with you this weekend about it, if you are racing.

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

Today at the track for some racing. Jimmy DeFrank was here making a few passes. Few other folks getting ready for next weekend. High in the 60s.

Justin Lamb was also here testing and spanked Jon
in Pro.

Jon was .030 and one off and was not even close
to Justin.

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

I'm going to get my feet wet in Stock at this event. Thanks, GTX John for the opportunity. :D

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

I sent my application to the Glendora office to add a Stock number to my membership. This was done last Tues. & sent overnight. It has been in limbo & found out today it's lost.

I'm calling Glendora tomorrow to see if I can get my number over the phone.

GTX John, I'll give you a call tomorrow if I can't get the number.

B King :(

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

You will be fine without a NHRA stock number I'm pretty sure.

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

Not according to Jr., they booted 2 racers last year for not have their Stock number.

Let me know on the members # thing, I was coming out of retirement for this race!
My nephew is a little busy so thought I would come and support!
No longer an N member

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

We are looking forward to seeing you again Scott!

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

I am not sure if you need a number?
I am not sure that my son is correct (Never trust
anyone under 60).
It would be Phil that could say for certain I believe.
I am currently in LA tomorrow and could perhaps go
to NHRA (Just a few blocks away and pay for number
for anyone to expedite getting a number assigned.

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

They should be able to send you a temporary license through email that will work until you can get your actual license card. I have had to race off of a temporary license through email a couple of times. You will just have to call the division office to get that email.

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

Just ask them today to e-mail the temp license. Or take John up on the offer. I have had a pkg. now stuck at the Upland office of USPS (regional mail facility since the 18th), marked received, but waiting for package acceptance that was purchased in Ontario, CA 15 days ago...something about someone firing almost all of the mail handlers. Nothing is moving through that facility at this time.

Luckily it can be done online/phone/fax, and they will e-mail the temp lic./numbers.

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

Thanks everyone for the help!

Finally got it worked out with NHRA, not really their fault.

B King/1700/STY/781L & soon to have another. :)

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

Scott,

I'm unsure if the # thing is needed or not! I got it to be on the safe side.

B King :)

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025

BE THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

Roll Call!

Who is going to support this great race and take a swing for a $10,000 payday?

It would awesome if we could round up some prizes to help support. If you?re unable to join maybe dig in and help show everyone you want to keep Class Racing going in the West.

I?ll throw $100 in for best losing package first round.
Also $100 to the car with the best Wheelie performance the whole event. We will need to find a judge.
$50 to the qualifier that lands on the bottom of the top half. Qualifying off index so be prepared for possible weighing..

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

Should be a nice weekend, weather wise. Best of luck for those able to attend. I put up $500.00 myself last year for my late wife. I won a 50.00 gift certificate I could never use.Like all sports,keeps you coming back when you do well. I would have to borrow a car. Time for the next generation to enjoy!

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

I'm pre-entered into the race & looking forward to my debut in a Stock Eliminator car! :D

Thanks to my family & friends for their personal words of encouragement & of course thanks to GTX JOHN for allowing me to drive one of his race vehicles!

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

I am pre-entered. But, the strangest things always pop up at the worst of times. Switching from wheels/tires (to get the car on the trailer in Phx. (I noticed the outer CV boot was split on pass. side slickest grease ever invented on the inner side of the wheel, none on the fender well equals none on the track ....thank the lord, but the boot still had a
lot of grease in it). Cleaned it all up, broke out the Super glue and brakekleen, and welded the cracked area temp to get it back to Vegas, ordered the boot kit before leaving the track on e-bay from Ontario, CA.

That is the package stuck in the Post Office in Upland, CA. Picked up another outer boot before going back up to Vegas on Saturday AM. Planned on rebooting the outer Saturday morning at Storage in Vegas 6:00 AM (ooops, ck'd schedule late we race at 9:00, not 11, no Jr's today, rebooting work changed to Saturday night instead, was no longer leaking so good to go as temp repair is safe),. 034, .032 T.T. lights (not going to be enough today with this group, pushed harder...too hard red 1st rnd., repair underway early, and including a great dinner, and an 11:30 P.M. nearly midnight run to get this 1 of 2 Auto Zone stores open 24 hrs a day, that actually had an inner boot in Stock (and worked all night to get it cleaned up properly, stretched over the inner end all the way to the outer end of a 4 foot axle, greased, banded, and reinstalled without waking up pit area partners, 2 coffee runs to warm up a bit, and a Petro Shower and clothes change as the glorious sun
rise came forth (TY here for the loan John and Jon Irving of your Battery Operated Impact Driver, it saved me in the pits), saved the noise making button up of the fastners until the 1st engine fire-up, but got it all done before the 1st time trial of the day Sunday at 9:00 AM Sportsman call (though with not enough time after the tightening of everything and really no way to accurately align the front end in the pits and knowing the front right did not fully get back into alignment perfectly slightly toed out, so much warm up coffee though I was consistently, red,
-.032, (with a tie rod adjustment between
the 2 T.T. passes to attempt to correct the toe out condition) -.034 (2 major changes after zero sleep lower air pressure in front slicks to increase rollout, laze the tree and...junk .111 out again 1st rnd....one too many changes, too much coffee and no sleep.

I am home safe, car is mechanically fixed (appointment for full alignment scheduled for Thursday at 11:00 in Vegas, so it will be right for MATS. A lousy weekend as far as the continued race results column, but the unscheduled racing repair, will not interfere with the scheduled upgrade drop off after MATS or the actual racing on non-refundable entries. And the March/April calender of race dates is still full!

The little stuff (that really is bigger stuff), you don't count on happening you cannot schedule for! You just deal with it the best you can as it crops up.

I would not trade the hard work for anything in the world right now...steel tempers steel, steel sharpens steel.

Sunday AM Sasha was right behind me in the lanes for first rnd. (And I told her to tell that Hoefer guy to quit beating up on his wife), as I was taking apart the car Saturday they both reached the finals I heard on the radio she cut a perfect .000, and...sadly she was a little too fast to the stripe (I know that feeling Sasha). He's not only good, he is lucky too!

Dear Lord...I need some of that luck. Please? See you guys there. I hope we have a good turnout...looks like possible chance of some rain Thursday, and cooler temps in store again.

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

Have my entry, started loading up today, first race of the year for me. Family was sick just before Firebird double and had to canceled the trip.

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

When we got down to 3 cars, Sasha put down a .01 to
end my day!

I think the two of them may actually be Robots!
They are just consistently THAT darn good.
We are hoping she finds time to run one of our
Stockers this year.

Re: Muscle Cars At The Strip- LVMS 2025
 

Ill be there watching and listening you guys go at it. Will be there with the heads up(comp)car. Best of luck to all running this weekend in the the $10K race.
