The total loop will be approximately 130 miles long (depending on your travels within the State Park). That is from the start at In & Out until we get to Fiesta. After leaving the Lake Mead road there are a few stations before reaching the Fiesta. You must fill up before leaving the start as within the first 50 miles there is but one station and the next 80 (or so) has none.

Today fuel prices in Las Vegas, Nevada are 2.31 for regular to 2.51 for premium.

The course will consist of Interstate travel (some at 75 MPH legal limit) to mild country type two lane road changing to twisty two lane hilley road to a limited speed park two lane road and finally a Federal Park type two lane limited access road. Nevada roads are usually in very good repair but the first few miles on the Interstate are under construction (widening), we would suggest using care here.

You will be given a flier at the start with written instructions as to the course so if for any reason you get separated from the group you can find us. A phone number will be provided for emergencies.

I am reasonably sure that everyone understands that this is the desert and that the air temperatures will be well above 100 and the humidity well below 12% (closer to 6%). Dress accordingly, use a hat when leaving the car and above all drink lots of water (not beer, water).

Presently AJ will lead the group from the start and I will bring up the rear. Since part of the first leg of the tour is in a construction zone speed will be slow and everyone should be able to keep up or catch up.

If I did not answer your questions, bring them on

 

sounds like a fun drive Phil, looking forward to it!

 

Word has it MazdaManiac's RX8 now comes with barf bags...standard. That is all.

 

D.I.Y. - Vomit Bag Install

 

Plastic grocery bags will be available at the start

 

I'm leading this? I don't remember seeing any posted 75 mph speed limits. I did see a lot of wide open canyon straight aways and some nice twisties through THE VALLEY OF FIRE! (insert echo here).

 

You must have been looking for girls (again) while going down 15. It changes to 75 just after the speedway. Watch all your girl friends with AJ You must have a memory loss also.

 

Phil: did you make a decision yet on the choices we presented yesterday?


(for those of you who MUST know...mail order bride)

 

Yes I did, I chose the blonde with blue eyes from Singapore I will PM you shortly.

 

ooh good choice sir; she was a hottie

 

bump!


SoCal guys: I'll most likely be posting the caravan info tonight for those interested.

 

I would assume that 12 guys would be interested. Only 17 more days until the party starts.

 

the CA guys have been M.I.A. lately, I sent them all PM's a few weeks ago and only a few bothered to respond.

Either way, the party must go on...

 

What? Who? Wheres mine?

 

Every time I look you have an arm full of the cuties - I'm the old man that needs to rely on mail order

 

haha I'm lazy, just remind me what time you're expected to hit barstow? Also we need a meeting spot there...

 

i need a break from my 10+ hour days at school

if i can get ahead of the work load, i'll make this meet.

 

You would be welcome. Get caught up at school

 

"What Ever Happens In Vegas" Meet


Due to popular demand and threats, the Vegas group is having the second annual "What Ever Happens In Vegas" meet. We were requested to have it a little earlier this year and picking a date has been a nightmare. It is open to all Mazda cars but especially the RX8 and attendees will be welcome from Arizona, California , Nevada and Utah.(actually from anywhere you wish to come from) (To see picks from last year go to Post 28 and click on: Vegas / SoCal Meet https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.ph...=1#post2598922 - 2008 Vegas / SoCal https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=153676Panoramic Picture by A.

Thanks for the update Phil!!

First, I wanted to say that I'm happy to report that I will for sure be able to attend this event. I had some complications with $$ which might have prevented me from attending but I was holding out till the last minute to make the decision. So, the party is back on for me so I'm really looking forward to coming out.

I met a few people last year at this event and I'm looking forward to meeting a lot more. This thing is shaping up to be quite a huge event.

While Charles Hill, myself, MazdaManaic and Easy_E1 are going to be there to hang out, I wanted to let everyone know that if you happen to have any parts requests or purchases I'm sure we can drag the parts with us to Vegas.

I know Phil will have some new goodies on his RX8!

Otherwise, I'm looking forward to an awesome weekend of twisty action, rotary action and of course for those who know...BBBEEEEERRRRRR!!!

 

I just wanted to "clean up" Phil's update for those of us who use an RX-8Club skin that makes the post above illegible and to add some useful information and links (most of which are now "in-line").




Schedule of EventsQuestions in your local area can be answered by one of the following:

If you would like a great price on a room at the Candlewood Suites, please see Dominion's post #19 in this thread.

Additionally, the following hotels are offering rooms at rates comparable to the Candlewood (Dominion):

Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel
Royal Vacation Suites
El Cortez Hotel and Casino

And for just a little more, there are rooms at the Las Vegas Hilton available for $70. The Hilton has an excellent garage, easy access, is closer to the In & Out and, well, ITS THE HILTON! Elvis practically lived there.

 

Nice work MM. It was hard to see his post with the "37-Dark Style" haha

16 Days and counting!!

 

I'm not going to be able to go now. Thanks to the government I have some special requirements and can't leave the state now. They have me on a tight leash, have to call this number EVERYDAY no matter what and if they call my 'color' I have to go pee in a cup by 530 that day. Weekends, holidays it doesn't matter. Also have to go to AA meetings and group counseling once a week. This stuff is costing me a **** ton of money. All this for having a less the an eighth of an ounce of weed.

I will be there next year for sure but I just got rear ended by 'the man'

 

Utah guys are droping fast. I hate to hear that you can't make it.

 

I'm going to see if my attorney can do something about this but I don't know how long it will take.
