Im still debating whether or not to take twisty 58 all the way to Buttonwillow or just take 46 (which is 20-some miles longer) each would end up being the same driving time.

46:


58:

I say leave at 3:00 am just to be safe. You're covering a lot of road and chances are you'll be slowed down by at least one or two traffic incidents.

If you arrive early, there's a few food places in Barstow and you can NAP in the car while the Calvary arrives.

damn it, we just lost another one! Newcastle won't be able to make it.
I was so looking forward to the "BEEEERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!" chants with him and Flashwing.

Oh well, at least now I don't have to chase him down on the streets of Vegas before he stumbles into a cop and gets arrested.



"What Ever Happens In Vegas" Meet



"WHAT EVER HAPPENS IN VEGAS" ANNUAL 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. Mair)




Date of the Meet: June 19, 20 & 21 2009

If you would like a great price on a room, please see Dominion's post #19 in this thread:" I want to help!
I can get a killer price. Let me know now before we get to full. Summer is a big deal in Vegas and anything with a pool and jacuzzi tends to get packed!!!I work for a all suite hotel. I can get you guys a kick *** rate of $39.00 for a room with a queen bed work desk and kitchenette OR for $59.00 a room with a queen and a sofa sleeper large work desk and kitchenette. Thats a sweet deal cuz the $39 is normally $89.99 and the $59.00 is normally $119.99. There is only one way to get this rate. Through me. Its a clean place and parking is good for your 8's. I know cuz last year no one had any issues and I park my 8 there everyday. If you guys want I can cone off parking up front. Just let me know.
Let me know if you want a room via pm. I will hold however many rooms you guys need under my name with out a credit card! when you show up to check in you will need a credit car or debit card. If you dont show just shoot me a pm and let me know your not coming. No big deal. I'm not going to charge you if you cancel. Other places will.Oh and dress for summer temps in the 100's lol yea its going to be hot
Regards,
-Gilbert
"
or contact Phil's 8, Jedi54 or Easy E_1. Dominion also points out that the temperature in June will be mildly hot so dress or lack there of, accordingly (especially all female attendees)





Schedule of Events:
Friday June 19th, a caravan from Arizona is being organized by Easy_E1 Please contact him for information.

Friday June 19th, a caravan from California is being organized by Jedi. Please contact him for information.

Friday June 19th the caravan from Utah will meet for breakfast and hopefully get on the road by 11am. Contact 04RX8gr or RaleighRX8 for more information.

Friday June 19th @ 5pm till 9pm: General meet in the parking lot of In & Out on West Sahara about 1 mile west of I15 (normal local meeting spot). Directions: Exist I 15 @ Sahara West, travel west on West Sahara for approximately one mile to In & Out 2900 West Sahara *Fuel available within 1/8 mile of In & Out: 7/11 is 1/16 mile east of In & Out, Chevron 1/8 mile west of In & Out also has a car wash, Rebel 1/8 mile west of In & Out.

Prior to the start of the Saturday scenic tour you will need to have a full tank of fuel. The area we are going to has extremely limited fuel access. The total tour is about 130 miles

Friday June 19th @9pm until ?:At 9pm sharp we will be leaving the lot and going to Dicks at the Excalibur for food and drink. http://tinyurl.com/ar5ycr Travel map from In & Out: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour...9&ie=UTF8&z=14


Saturday morning June 20th @ 10am till 2pm (aprox): We will again meet at the In & Out parking lot on Sahara for a scenic drive to and around Lake Mead culminating in a no host lunch at the Henderson Fiesta Hotel & Casino. There is a buffet (up stares) and a Denny's inside for your pleasure. I suggest that you bring a few bottles of water with you as it will be warm and very little humidity.

PLEASE NOTE:The economy in Nevada has effected our drive. Part of our run is thru a State Park (Valley of Fire) and when I originally layed out the course you did not have an entrance fee to drive thru the park. Now the State is short of money and they are collecting even to drive thru. The fee is $6.00. AJ, Armin and I have looked at alternative access roads and have come to the conclusion that due to the twistys getting to the park and the actual beauty of the park that we are still going to use this road. Unfortunately this will require a $6.00 outlay per car.I hope that this does not effect anyones enjoyment of the scenic tour

Saturday evening June 20th @ 7pm until ??: No host get together at the Hof Brau for good times and some good BS. Last year this was a very popular get together.

Sunday: Nothing planned but the trip home.

This is probably good news, the weather has been extremely cool for this time of year and the future weather for the dates of the meet are supposed to be the same.

Normally we are in the low 100s this time of year but we have only briefly done that so far. Projected weather for the meet weekend is 90 to 95 degrees F with calm winds and lots of sun. What do I keep hearing about global warming???
