You are correct on the price. I had booked a trip through Southwest, and the whole round trip air, hotel,rental car, everything was $385.00 a person Now they want basically that much just for airfare. Thanks for trying G_bob!!

I'm out now!!! A 5 figure tax surprise has taken my mats budget, and budget for getting ready to go. Adding to it, I don't fit in any class, and with another car underway, I'd better tighten up and stay on the porch for a while. I may still fly down and watch though.
I can only hope my tax dollars will help some disenfranchised unwed mother pump out a few more fatherless little Obamites. I'll sleep so much better knowing my dollars weren't poured down the black hole of real business. Besides I'd just have wasted that money buying goods and services from American companies anyhow.
Dang I was hoping to check out the Cuda, sorry to hear the bad news. Down with the IRS!

Sooooo..... Does anyone want to meet up? Are there any plans? 
Is there any place at the track we can hang out?
How about at night, what is everyone doing? 
Yeah usually everyone goes to the Cannery Casino at night and they usually have a musical guest to entertain us.
There might be some other concerts in the area as well, Vegas is a rockin town.

Usually they have had a car show on the back
street (closed off) behind the Cannery Hotel
on Friday night and on Saturday night they
have some kind of concert at the Hotel along
with selling food and drinks.
A few years ago they brought into the patio
all (or most) of the SS/AH cars on Friday
night.

Darren,There is a reason I dont even look at my taxes til after March. Been paying through the nose for a few years. Got to love 5 figure tax bills and 5 figure SEP payments that dwindle away these days in April, priceless.. Damn you guys and the 6am breakfast thing. I dont think I will EVER make it before everyone is ready to leave

Ted you know I make it every year, just not til the rest of you are done and ready to leave...I think we need to petition them to start the racing later in the day. It is Vegas after all, not like there in nothing to do away form the track.
