I dont know yet, i dont have any room reservations or anything setup...

Whaaaat?? I don't understand.. How could you miss this one.. It sounds like it could be the last Laughlin short race.. due to the flat land where the pits/short course is is being sold off after Jan. (rumor)

Yes I did, and I replyed to you.. It was though the Delphi site.. how do you want to work things?? I came across a ADD diff, so I will need the Manual long tube and axle.. Do you have any other stuff for a manual hub set up?

you'll need to be there thursday night also if you want to make the Laughlin Leap.. 1/8 mile run at a 12 foot high jump.. saawweeeet!! I don't know what hotel we've got.. I've got friends in the Edge water, the Ramada, and the Flamingo. i'll end up somewhere. Race-dezert.com does a beer buy on thurdsday night at the Ramada for every one.. Throw in a few bucks, and drink more than you should and stagger back to your room.. almost all of the Hotels are with in walking distance. :xbeer3:

I think a call tag would be easier for you.. all you'll have to do is box it up and wait for UPS to show up with a sticker.. keep me posted.. and thanks again.

Thursday will be alot of sitting around till about 5 or 6:00. then the pit crew comp, and the leap start. Friday will be contigency, and pre-running all day and more sitting around. Saturday, and Sunday will be racing all day from sun up to sun down. We'll head home on Monday, and be back to work on tuesday. The night life is awsome.. the cho-cho @ the ramada, the Loosers lounge at the Flamingo, and The Boiler room at the river boat. Good times..

Fire Guys are getting a few, but I'm sure they will all be spoken for.. Getting you into the pits will be easy, just jump in the back of someones truck as they are going though the gate. If you don't mind leaving your truck in the parking lot..

Well we made it back.. met a whole bunch of new people, a bunch of old friend, had a great time. The Fire guys truck didn't have such a good weekend.. Left door and bedside damage on Sat, and a Blown Motor on Sunday.. Finally met a few people off this board. Grumpy showed from AZ, a couple from CA, I ran into Cory for a second in the parking lot, (never to be seen again!) I met another member (forgot his name) from Henderson.. good times!! Grumpy, get those pictures up!!

sadly, the ones from Sat didn't turn out too well. haven't looked at the ones from Sun yet. had a blast at least until Kingman coming home on Sunday.
backing up at gas station and BOZO pulls right behind me from street in such a way that I didn't even see him and I hit him. Now my F'ed up insurance won't even consider the fact that he is partly to blame too. Even the cop wrote it up tha he pulled in right behind me and no one was citited.

I might just email you the pics

That was probably Steve. He is from Henderson, has a white Tacoma on 33" Claws.

I actually passed you going the opposite direction on I15 last Thursday on the North side of Vegas around 1pm. Doubt you saw me, you were probably on your way towards Laughlin.

It was a white extra cab with tube pre-runner bumpers, and tube upper a-arms, not long travel. Had 33 BFG's (if I remember right).
