What Happens in Vegas 4 Pics - Jedi Edition
 
14 Attachment(s)
Another epic weekend in Vegas has come to an end but fortunately what Happens in Vegas doesn't STAY in Vegas! ;)



I arrived in Vegas a few days early so FastRX8 and I decided it would be a great idea to go ziplining just outside of Vegas. My initial reaction to this plan was, "Oh great, I drive all this way just to kill myself before we even get to the car meet."



Ziplining at Bootleg Canyon was a BLAST! I was a bit apprehensive at first but after the first run, I highly recommend checking this place out. www.bcflightlines.com

FastRX8 securing my GoPro in order to film the shenanigans. We were really hoping to have a helmet so we could just stick it to the top but apparently they don't offer helmets.
Reasoning: if the zipline snaps, the helmet isn't going to help you... :eek:

I believe we did 4 or 5 runs in order to get to the bottom of Bootleg Canyon and then we were greeted by a pretty cool sunset.

We have some great footage off the GoPro that I'll upload later tonight including a blooper video you guys HAVE to see...

Friday afternoon, chilling on the balcony and who do I see???
Atilla and Scremn8 invading our place! (I heard the cars far before I ever saw them)

Anyone else see any new mods on Atilla's car??? :rock: (and I don't mean the blue tape...)

this one is for the Ladies... :uhh:

After that Atilla, Sephyobsessed, Scremn8, FastRX8, Kwescott, Snowfl8k and I all headed out to Hoover Dam!
We had a few hours to kill before the official start of the WHiV meet so we figured this would be an interesting trip. Just ask Atilla how much he LOVED that parking structure! :scared:


This is some fancy new bridge that just recently was completed:

the ground felt like it was shaking and it was because of the sheer amount of water flowing through this massive pipe.

Don't worry, if you're dying we'll wheel you out of here with this...

It's the middle of the day but apparently even Sephy has a 'lil Cap'n in her!

MAN DOWN!!!
Scremn8's car decided it no longer wanted to shift gears so BHR is working on it to see if we can somehow remedy the problem.

MAYBE, just MAYBE if we all stand around the car, that'll help...

Sunday Afternoon we were invited to a BBQ at Rotary Evolution, a local shop in Las Vegas and what would a rotary meet at a shop be without someone making a GRAND enterance like only a Rotary owner can!

At this point I completely forgot I had my camera on me so I'm hoping someone else has pics of the BBQ because I was too busy enjoying the food and great company.



Last bit of pictures!
Atilla left Vegas shortly after I did and we were fortunate enough to meet up in Barstow so here's a few pics of his car on the freeway

Thanks for the pics. I've been looking for the WHIV pics. I couldn't make it this year, but hope to next year.

Rotary-RX8 05-25-2011 04:49 PM

For some reason first time i looked at the thread.. only half the pics showed lol. I reopened it and all the pics were there.

Looks like you guys had fun !

Congratz on the award Jorge :) :cool:

Jedi54 05-25-2011 04:54 PM

Rotary-RX8: I originally only posted a handful then had to go back and edit the 'saved' posts and add all the image link.
I was distracted halfway through so that's what took so long.

oh, and thanks! I was quite honored as there were some great looking cars there.

what happened to scremn's car?

It fell down, went boom.
well, not really...


When we went to drive it Saturday morning he couldn't get the car into gear or out of it's current gear. The car was limped out of the parking structure out to the parking lot.
We thought it might be the clutch pedal; CRH and Easy worked on it but that wasn't the culprit.

It was then determined that the pilot bearing was most likely gone. :(
As a parting gift from Vegas, Scremn8 got this little piece of paper

shadycrew31 05-25-2011 05:38 PM

Ohhh that sucks...

well at least hes got a new clutch and a new engine!

Looks good, I will try and post pics tonight. These pics remind me that running 2-3 times week is not enough to overcome the tortillas :lol:
