Opinions and interest in a Vegas meet?

[cadillac531]

There has been some interest in getting a meet together here in Vegas, and I wanted to start a thread here to see what interest there may be in having something in Vegas this year.

I was thinking about the following things:

--Drag Racing at The Strip. We can hook up with the Vegas Vettes on one of their drag race nights.

--Road Racing at either the ZMax track at LVMS or at Spring Mountain; wherever we could get a good price for track usage, perhaps hook up with another club that may be putting on a track day.

--Corvette show with one of the other Corvette clubs here in Vegas.

--An evening cruise on the Las Vegas Strip from end to end. (It's always fun to turn the attention of tourists from the Bellagio Fountains to the street )

--If the "Welcome to Vegas" sign isn't too busy we can get in there for some pics. They've remodeled the area to add it's own parking lot. It's pretty busy there most times...so this would be a hit and miss kind of thing.

--EATING!!!!! We've got some good eateries here that are off the strip, and we can do some caravanning to some of them.

--There's Red Rock we can cruise through, and the Valley of Fire....anyone remember the last time we went through Valley of Fire???? 110 in a 35 zone.

Thoughts?

I'd pay a decent cover charge to hit up up Spring Mountain again.

I am not a road racer but would defiantly come if we are going to the drag strip.

You know I've been a long time advocate of making LV a western national event. Our members in the west half need to be involved in the Registry with an event that's feasible for them to attend.
BTW, I'm always good with Spring Mountain.

Depending on the Month, I might take the 2 day Journey.

My son, & I were in the first two groups to use the new course last September. Word then was that section, classroom & garage is to become the CTS area & Corvette will go back to where it was, after the dealer C7 training is finished (Mar?14). The new section, 1.1 miles, 11 turns, is exciting & very fast.

Example: uphill pretty much like it looks, about 70mph & not someplace you would want to exit the track on the outside.

The one thing about Spring Mtn. is that there is a lot of room for runoff and not many opportunities to run into a wall or tire barrier (unless you lose it on the straightaway). There's some pucker factor as even the shortest sections can still have you up to 100mph, but you get used to it by the time you have half worn a set of tires and got tired of spending money on gas.
