DP #24 Drooze, Mandie & Pop shooting for Vegas

Good Luck guys and stay safe.

I wish you all good luck too! Furthermore, I also hope that with those new Nevada towing restrictions, that you didn't have any problems getting into the state. The more I read about that mess on another thread, the more I love my mid-size Colorado & open trailer to pull my Cavalier around with. Fortunately even if I upgrade to the 5.3V8 option in either the extended or crew-cabs, my GCWR will be less than 10,000lbs!

Be safe (DRINK LOTS OF MOUNTAIN DEW DURING YOUR TRAVELS), have fun, and I hope Drooze goes some rounds too!!!

Mandie, Welcome to the Zoo. Since you guys are going to be in Vegas with no event to run, have you guys considered "recharging your batteries there". You've heard the saying what happens in Vegas...Probably didn't happen to Drooze. I just ran my PC Milers, and it says that from Vegas it is 1235 miles to Dallas. There is a points meet there also next Friday to Sunday ,would be Apr 23 thru Apr 25. Once you guys get rested there in Vegas it is 1835 Miles back to Indy. Just a suggestion, ask the powers to be there to say in Vegas until about Monday and then take your time and get to Dallas about Wed P.M. or Thursday. Probably a Test and Tune day there on Thursday? Don't know if the big MOPAR hitters from La. will be there , but I would think that some of them are. Just a suggestion instead of another mad dash back Indy. Myron Stutes Columbus,Ohio X 3195 Stock

Thanks for the suggestion Myron...

Just talked to the road warriors, and they are still about 3 hours out of vegas....and Drooze thought he just had a flat tire.... Not that it will make much difference now... But if he has one, it will delay getting him and Mandie to a decent dinner after all of their fast food and gas station hot dogs....

So......... we will see if we can tech in tomorrow and maybe fall into a less than loaded field... Will make the call and see if than can happen... If not, Oh well, we will dump the nearly comatose Drooze into a a little red wagon and drag him around the pits on Saturday just to show that he really does exist..

Are you Kidding me ,Drooze drove all the way to vegas and isn't going to get there in time to make a Qualifying run.Dude if you aren't on the Qualifying sheet your not racing.

When he could have waited a week and run the Indy points meet.

Thats a long drive to not get to race.

All I can say is WOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!

We rolled the dice..... and it doesnt look like it will work out.

Maybe we were too anxious to get the new engine combo out... but so be it...

We will run somewhere some day and it will all be worth it. (actually we did qualify in Atlanta, and then blew up the next qua;ifying round...) so technically we have run, but a National Event was the plan. And we took our best shot...

And he had to get here to pick me up. I have been here two weeks and if he doesnt get here soon to take me home, we wont have any racing money...

If you guys leave on Sunday morning you should be able to get to Indy in time for the Division 3 lid lifter, which will have about 100 to 130 Stockers. Good luck. Mike

Check with the Tower , They do run a Test n Tune on Monday sometimes, It used to be
they allowed the Sportsman guys to pay the money and run with the Pro test session,
not sure if they still do it but you were able to get about 4 to 5 Hits.
