Paul I agree it was run very well and we had a good time last year as well. Really enjoyed the racer BBQ by PMR and hosted at the Theobald family pits. Many thanks to everyone that made the BBQ/event such a success. Looking forward to this years race.

I would like to add a few points of clarification for those who have posed questions regarding the upcoming Stk/SS Combo at Vegas March 17-19.

1. Tickets are available via TheFoat.com with a $300 entry fee. It is $320 if you purchase at the gate. Although we really need as many pre-entries as possible so the Theobolds can gather as many hot dogs as they will need.....but I caution you that the Foat has a strict no refund policy. If you pre-enter and suffer breakage or just a fit of depression after your KC Chiefs lose the Super Bowl you will not get your money back.

2. Although the Foat is very strict about their no-refund policy I also know that Phil Painter with Muscle Cars at the Strip is a thoughtful, racer friendly guy with our best interests in mind and I am confident if you have a legit issue he will work with you if you reach out to him.

3. The Thursday gate is open on Thursday until 8PM giving us plenty of time to travel on Thursday and still get inside before the closure.

4. There WILL be a cleanup run Saturday morning for late arrivals. After that we will go straight into elims on Saturday with the intent to complete the event on Saturday.

5. And finally, the issue with the most contention is the subject of heads up runs. The opinions seem to be equally divided among racers who favor heads up vs. those who would choose not to have to hop up their stuff only to get back to bracket mode in time for the next round. I kind of agree that on a one day race that could present a challenge.

It's going to be a lot of fun......lots of great fellowship among fierce competitors, and a pile of cash and stuff to make it worth your while.

See y'all there.

On that note I'll wait till at least after Phoenix Divisional before entering. The division 7 season sure is busy this spring. I'm ready except slicks. Kicking myself for not taking care of it before season ended. I hope Hoosier is at the division race in Phoenix.

Anyone in the LV area have space for a rig between this race and the Divisional? 26' enclosed trailer.

Truck and trailer or just 26 Trailer?

We do have room at our secure shop for the trailer for sure = But I would
have to ask Jon about the Truck if you need to drop it as well.

Thanks Larry I like to roll off the trailer ready to go.

Just spent 520.00 on batteries and 210.00 on push lock hose. It never stops. I'm getting ready for my best losing package. I'm the king of it as I have won it 3 times.
