It does have a cloaking device....lol... Or at least that's what Anthony and Chris tried to tell me after Anthony drove my car off the cliff.. They both told me "that branch is supposed to be sticking out of car".... They said it would make for a good picture.... Boy were they right....

anthony this is the post on vegasrotary

OK guys its toy drive time again!!! We have been doing this for quite a few years now, no reason to break the tradition. I was thinking that this Sunday, November 25th, would be a good day for us to meet up and head down to the toy drive. It is being held at Nevada Power on West Sahara this year. The last day to do it is the 29th so I figured we would do it a few days early.

Think back to when you were younger, and how much you loved Christmas, and how bad it would have been to not get anything. You don't have to break the bank just buy a brand new toy in the original package or a new bike, dont forget they also need helmets and pads, and bring it down.

Lets say meet at the Walmart on Charleston and Decatur at 9:30 am Sunday morning, November 25th. Plan to roll out by 10:15 am, to Nevada Power. Hang out for a while, take some pictures and then whatever from there. I'll have to get out or there kinda quick though because I am moving that day. This is posted on Vegasrotary,Nv240sx.org, Flat4.com, 702FJcrew.net, and soon on Vegasdrift. So look for any of those types of cars to meet with.

Over on Vegasrotary.com there is talk about a AutoX set up at the track (www.lvms.com) but this is what it comes down to.

If its the same lot we used to use for autocross out at the speedway...

They want $3500/day plus $75/hr for 8 hours minimum of their medical personnel. And then we have to pay $8.50 per car for sanction & insurance.

And then theres the club insurance, any needed lighting, supplies, etc...

They found that charging entry fees of $40 for members and $50 for non club members for a field of 100ish cars to not be profitable.
Anyone doing anything this weekend? Fri & Sat? I'm flying out to SoCal on Sunday.

Hello everybody. It's been a while and just want to say Happy Thanksgiving to you all and i've never met you guys yet, but it feels like I did already. I was busy with family and my wife's family coming here from California (Bay Area). Anyway, if I have a chance, i'll be there and meet you guys someday. Happy holidays.

yep and that is the reason we (lvrscca) no longer runs at the speedway. It was a nice long course, not the best pavement, but was fun to drive. in respect to the price they want to charge us we pay less than $1000 for the prim lot and also paid less than $1000 for the boulder city lot.


anthony i like the second hdr and the first one with the numbers on the car.
