Be seeing the whole group in a few days. I figure that my 8 will take the Friday night meet with no problem but I'm not sure if I want to try for using it on Saturday. It still has to make the trip to Phoenix.

I think its going to be fine.
You've been driving it for some time this way, so its not likely that it will just "cut loose" if you take it easy.

This is where I go:

Self Serve Car Wash

Might seem "out there", but it quiet and cheap and all of the machinery works.
Its sort of on the way for the Arizona folks.

There are some self-wash places closer to where we are staying, but here is a link from the Resort to where MM pointed you.

FYI, the address to the resort is;
8601 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV

If only.
I actually find that I show up in Vegas much cleaner when I get there slowly.

Bugs and rocks bounce at 70 MPH.
They explode at 100!

What day are you going? The Friday meet is at 7pm.
Also, Jedi and I are only going to a self-wash for the water.
We're BYOZ for the washing. (Bring Your Own Zaino)

Not really. Since you're going w/ 2 other cars, have them drive in front, side-by-side and you drive down the center of the 15 splitting the lanes.
That way, they block all the dirt and bugs.

Lol. True that.

Easy and CRH are meeting at my house at 1:30. From there, we shoot up to the north side to pick up Niki from work.
So, we should be shooting past Lake Pleasant around 2:30.
