Hey!! I'm going too, but not till Nov 2010 for the next SEMA show, I've never been yet
I'd like to see it all (truck related) or even a NasCar race if there one that weekend.
Just making the plans now

Sounds like a Valentines trip.

I'll look around and see what events are happening. There will be a Super Chevy Show, but that will be in March.

I want to go out to the speedway and check it out. Do you guys know if there's stuff always on there? If there's nothing on can a guy still check it out or is it closed up.

It's not a Valentines trip it's a get the f%$# out of here trip, but I like the way you think. Maybe it could be a valentines/anniversary/whatever other day trip.

Smokejohnson · 01-06-2010, 09:09 PM

I think it should be open to some extent, there's a gift shop there along with sprint track, stock car track, drag track... check the Las Vegas Speedway web site for the events.

If you're into stock car racing even just a little bit, you really should do the Richard Petty Driving Experience (http://www.1800bepetty.com/home.aspx), even just the 3-lap ride-along. Did it last year with the guided tour of their shop and it was a *blast* !! I only did the 3-lap ride-along, but even that is a lot of fun. Definitely want to do the self-driving experience next, and go from there. Their shuttle bus will pick you up/drop you off at the Luxor and another hotel, definitely recommended given the traffic (they were working on the interstate last spring and traffic southbound from the track was a bit of a nightmare).

We're heading to Vegas Feb 7-11, unfortunately I'm gonna miss the events happening a couple weeks later. Ah well, next time.

Have a good trip!

(thanks for the vendor referrals, 4ofakind, we might have to check them out!)

Smoke,

Are you still coming NASCAR Weekend? That is FEB 26-28. Lots going on at the Speedway then of course but traffic in and out is murder. Every Sat morning from 8-11 am they have Cars and Coffee. Feb 2 it will be @ the Sansone Park Place shopping center (215 & eastern) 9500 S. Eastern Ave. I don't know if they have it @ the same place each week. Every Sun morning they have Classic Cars and Coffee from 8-10 am @ Boulder Station Hotel & Casino atop the upper floor of the parking garage.

The Speedway is pretty much always open. They have various things happening from time to time like was mentioned. They have a few shops (custom, offroad, and race) that are cool to visit; not to mention the driving schools. Too bad you are not coming in March. Mar 19-21 is the Super Chevy Show. Mar 26-28 is the Mopars @ the Strip.

Hope this helps.

Mal
