Whoever can get the best Casino rates needs to get on the horn now, we will probably need several rooms at least. Usually places like Mirage and TI give decent rack rates to groups..

Should be a great weekend..How many people in So Cal will be going and willing to caravan Friday morning to Vegas from Speed Gallery in Studio City????
I am going with Dan and Co. for sure. I will be driving my TT, so I wont be able to carpool anyone. Hope we make it to the shootout, if you guys hang with me you might end up at the Crazy Horse and Drai's until 7 am in a drunken blackout. Havent ever been to Vegas w/o getting f--ked up Bad Santa style...

BTW, the Hard Rock Hotel is the BEST hotel to stay in by far. All of us single guys will have the time of our lives there, for the married men you might have to have your hands tied to your sides.

Hey guys... just a suggestion;

If you are going to create an activity and post it as a sticky on the forum, it would be nice if you would post some updates so we can make plans.

As it is... I'm not hearing any significant feedback that gives me much confidence this event is going to be pulled off. If it isn't... please post. If it is... again; please post some specifics.

Joe West

Shank,

I have not spoken to Tim in a few weeks, however last I heard this was a 996tt/GT2 event only. You might contact him through their website.

I heard it's still on but some new details have just come up that I think most of us were not aware of.

For example. I just heard the cost is $4000 per car and that the hotel they are trying to put us in is Motel Like!!! I also heard they changed tire sponsors and those tires don't fit the specs for the porsches.

So I am very curious as to understand what is going on here. I would like to get a breakdown of this $4K cost. For those who are to be entered, I would like each of you to push that we stay at a nicer hotel and discuss why such hefty entry fees. When I was told about it, this was never brought up.

Does anyone else have any other news?
