Las Vegas Car Clubs Sixth Annual Rally
- Thread starter nsxalot
- Start date
Dood, that's not even where I was going or what I was saying. Sheesh! Lighten up. I'm all for a fun, charitable meet where enthusiasts get to know other enthusiasts. My "concern" was that I got nothing to indicate that this was going to be just that. With all of these car clubs meeting, I just couldn't figure out how this was going to be a rubbing of elbows meet. I've seen the Norm Baker parking lot. It's tiny. One Honda car club would pack it to the nines. And I bet the Porsches, F-cars, Lambos etc would all get prime location over our NSXs. So again, my "concern" was that we would get shoved to the back, we would pay our money, and then be told to go on our way to make room for the Bentley's. That's all. All I suggested was that we had a "backup" plan in case that happened. If it turned out that it was a great time, then fine, no harm. If it turns our my concerns are true, then at least we have a back up plan. What's the big deal with that? Way to jump all over your fellow club member.

Another valid point...Tom, you go give those other car guys a big smiling face. Brian, work on a back-up plan. Paul, bring out the Mosler and run over all them F-cars. Chris, pass out more of our club shirts to those P-car owners. I'll...oh well, can't we all get along?
Best Regards,
Danny

Hi Chris,
Entry into the car show per car: $55
Hanging out at an import car show with your fellow NSX Club of Las Vegas members and a cooler full of drinks: priceless
Show starts at 4pm so I think participants will start setting up at noon. Anyone else?
Danny
Sorry if I was a little heavy on the sarcasm Brian, the "dump your cash and drive around town with a stupid map event" just hit me the wrong way. Thanks for your explanation. I'll see you Saturday; peace. :smile:
Here are some photos from the 6th annual “Rally in the Valley “event. This was a non-profit charitable event hosted by Norm Baker Motor Co. to benefit the Diabetes Foundation. It was a 100 mile scavenger hunt style rally, with automotive trivia questions to answer as you and your navigator decipher clues to the next stop!
At the finish point, there was a gaggle of bikini clad models waiting to pose with our cars, and plenty of time to chat with the other car guys (and gals). A late lunch at the Loews Lake Las Vegas Resort finished off a great afternoon! Many thanks to everyone who contributed to making this event happen!
Here are a few photos, despite the fact that I forgot my camera (DOH!!). Chris gave me his camera to use for the car shots, but then took over the photo chores when it came time to get a few shots of the leggy models! This is a departure from our usual routine of photographing our own cars in different settings. We hope you like the photos. :smile:
These are the “life is tough in the valley “ photos; so named because a colleague at work walked up when I was resizing the photos with bikini clad girls, and said “life is tough for you Tom.” :biggrin: I was telling him about the photo-shoot, and that the girls were leaving hand and butt prints on the cars. After a short pause, he says “I need to make more money; I want a car that gets butt prints on the hood.” Then he walked away. :biggrin: :biggrin:
This fellow started the rally with us, but no one knows what happened to him after the first check-point. I hope he’s ok… :biggrin:

Thanks for the posting Tom. It looks like one more great club gathering!
I was watching Billy Johnson race at VIR that day. Billy had a car problem in the fourth hour of a six-hour race that moved him from secound place to back six laps. Still, I enjoyed the race.

Yes, I agree. Answering 100 questions while driving and navigating to the check-points was a bit daunting. I think I got most of the car questions, but I got slammed on the TV/movie trivia; like who played Daisy Duke in the 1952 version of "The Dukes of Hazard?"

Yea I know you would have enjoyed the photo portion! :biggrin: I can also understand why you bailed though; this rally would have been a pain without a navigator. It took our full concentration to answer the questions, drive, and navigate. We would have enjoyed your joining us for lunch also!

You’re welcome! Sorry to hear about Billy's bad luck at VIR. It's always tough when something like that happens when you are running in a podium position!
