I haven't raced with WERA in years and have never raced Vegas. I am planning to join you guys for some fun in Vegas in February, so I'm looking for the skinny. Accommodations / camping / facilities? Food / can I bring my portable Weber grill? Pit layout / parking suggestions? Is the entrance to the track obvious? Where is registration / tech? Gearing for a V3 XS-650? I don't know. What else should I be asking? p
Accommodations / camping / facilities? You can camp at the track for no charge. Food / can I bring my portable Weber grill? Yes Pit layout / parking suggestions? Pits are wide open, setup wherever you like. On the pit wall to see the action down the straight or away a bit for a little less noise. Is the entrance to the track obvious? It is on the outside of the Nascar track. Heading North on I-15, I exit Speedway, turn right, go down about 1 mile over 2 speed bumps and turn right again, this runs you along the side of the Nascar track. Go about 1 mile and entrance is on the right. You should see a Z Max sign. Where is registration / tech? By the timing/scoring tower.
Thanks. Wife will be joining, so may go for a hotel down by Nellis. Lost all my gear when my gear bag fell out of the trailer on the way to Chuckwalla a couple weeks ago, so if anybody found a set of classic bumble bee style Yamaha leathers on I-10 they're mine.
Did you sort out your gear situation? i have a spare size 46 Berik/motogp suit if you need, same for L size gloves and 10.5-11 sz boots. ill also be out there, never been, but looking to have a great time!
I have a spare (although slightly small) set of leathers, & spare gloves. Still need to pick up boots and a helmet. I hope to have it all sorted out by then, but if you wouldn't mind bringing your spare boots... If you see me in the pits, stop by and say hello. What I look like on race day: http://www.meetup.com/Arizona-Cafe-Racers/photos/1929731/#32540511 It's all about having a great time at my age! p
Bummer about the gearbag. I also have some spare leathers and boots you could borrow. What is your size?
thanks guys. just from pdx not too many choices.. see you guys there friday. Hoping for some great racing!
You guys rock. Like I said, should have it sorted by then, but just in case: I'm 6'1", 165 pounds, medium helmet, and 11 boots.
Got new boots, & back protector, and helmet will be here in a couple days. Also have old spare leathers, so I'm set for gear! Thanks for the offers guys. p
Anyone see the forecast? Sunday showing rain.. :up::up::up: you guys DO race in the rain dont you?? Your not like those pussy AFM racers of mine that have a brick and if 4 drops hit the brick in 15 mins they shut it down..
Huh? It's a week away, no forecast is accurate yet. And yes, we do race in the rain, the track in Vegas is fine when wet.
That is a special breed of racer, as far as I can tell, they are only grown in the bay area, quite unusual.
Dont know what forecast you are looking at but Weather Channel says 0% Saturday and only 20% late Sunday - that does not sound like rain to me.......
