Vegas-Socal GTG

[lowellhigh79]

Let's start finalizing the Vegas-Socal GTG date for May 5 with the Dali driving event. Please plan for 3 days. Start off on Friday evening dinner/social/clubbing? Saturday caravan to Pahrump after lunch to connect with those already at the Dali event (hopefully most will already be there driving!), return in afternoon in a caravan, dinner/social etc. Sunday (?). Please sign on and any suggestions for things to do are appreciated!

Will be there:

Nice! Good thinking on setting up the Vegas GTG at the same time as the Dali event. I'm going to be going to the Dali event for sure, but is the Vegas GTG on for sure. Perhaps we should start another thread for us SoCal folks so we can caravan up there.....

This will be a great three day event! I'm in for the May 5th trackday as well. :smile:

Helo,

My wife an I were talking about making a trip to Vegas with another Primer (Big-D). I'll contact Dennis and keep watching this thread and hope that work or a family event does not get in the way our making the Trip.

We're staying at the Fairfield Suites South, best deal I could find and easy drive to the track. Looking forward to the weekend!

For those of us that are not going to track event, we should arrange for some other activity. Any suggestions?

You can come out to the track and ride with other members or lose you $$ at the tables :biggrin:

For those of you thinking of joining us on the track, please keep in mind that deciding to go the week of the event because you just heard that your pal was going may not work out for you. If you add the balance of the Legend guys that want to hit the track to the total already signed up, and then factor in that I sent out a reminder to about 300 people today, those last 18 spots may go before you get around to doing the sign up thing. It happens to me all the time since I am so easily distracted. :biggrin:

the May 5th event info is posted here.

Of course any number of people are welcome to hang out and go for rides, only those who want to put their cars on the track need to register..

if you guys want to put up a page with the all the 4-5-6 event information, have whomever is in charge of it send it to me - hopefully before May 7th.....

It is kind of a canyon drive from Vegas to Pahrump. May be you can take an alternative route to get more fun out of driving to Pahrump.

See you there James.

I know a very nice two and a half hour drive,without any stops. You will want to stop to admire the mountains and desert, though. Gorgeous country.

Leave LV going north on US-95 toward Reno for 30 minutes, 70 or 75 mph road, to the Lee canyon turn off, Nv-156. Turn left. This road rises from 4,000 ft to 8,500 ft in about 20 minutes. (It usually has the least amount of Nv.Highway Patrol vehicles.) This road ends at the closed ski area.The last 3 miles is a winding alpine road.

After that you would go south to Kyle Canyon (10 min), Nv 158 to Nv. 157 (back toward Las Vegas). This is the most winding part of the drive, taking you from to 8,000 ft to 9,000ft then back to 7,000ft.

At Nv.157 there are two lodges to get some food or drink. The drive back toward LV and US-95 (20 min) has more people and cars.

Then you can then go back to the hotel or go to the track. The track will add an hour of joyful driving. (US-95, I-215 then to RT at Charleston Blvd.) The drive goes past Red Rock Canyon with stunning red and white sandstone cliffs, and a nice 55 MPH winding road.

This takes you to Nv.160 (Rt) which goes through Mt. Springs Summit ,5000 ft.,then down to the track just outside of Pahrump.This is also a nice drive.

Drivers need to watch out for pedestrians, bicyclists, deer, and horses.
