Just to spark some excitement here... BOTD is less than 2 months away and I thought I would share some of the events that are tentatively planned...yes, that means it can change...so dont hold me 100% to this! We have sold old events, mixed in with some new events, along with a KILLER new venue...with incredible food!

Here is the basic schedule... remember, you are free to participate in whatever events you want, or you can just hit the roads all day...up to you! But in my opinion... BOTD is more about the people than the cars at this point!

The top winners at 11pm will get to select from a group of great prizes! The person with the most dragon bucks at the end of the night will be the Vegas Night Champion! Best of all ... there is NO buy in! Everyone can play.. as long as you are registered!

The scavenger hunt sounds like fun!

 

I'm stoked ... gotta go revive the Convo thread.

 

sounds like fun. i really need to register.

 

Who wants to miss these events!!! You better register (even though registration is really over, I will take a few more)!

 

Outta curiousity, does the rafting really take until four p.m. to get through? Just curious...tryin' to plan a few other things to cram into the trip...

 

That scavenger hunt day leaves no real time for Dragon runs. I loved the day we did the Dragon, lunched, then did the Skyway. 7 hours for the scavenger hunt plus time to set teams, rules, etc seems like a lot.

 

^Well it looks like saturday we will be doing dragon runs/Skyway. There will be times friday as well to do some Dragon runs. And he did say there will be lots of fun and driving in the scavenger hunt..so maybe we will have to find something on the dragon!

 

i can not agree more. i do have a limited attention span so if get too bored with on the scavenger hunt i might find myself just driving wherever the road takes me. i just have one question... who's coming with me?

 

^I guess me since you didn't know...you're on our scavenger hunt team! Duh! Seriously, though, rafting...anyone remember how long it took last year?

 

rafting takes about 4-5 hours and our reservation is for 11:30am, so we have to be there by 10:30 or so and leave the village by 9:30.

 

Thanks Geez, that's a long time in the water! It's gonna be COOOLLLLDDD!!

 

^^^ Yeah well, you don't have to go through that initial "man shock" when the 40 degree water hits you
