Yes, we will be meeting Friday night. Where, who knows yet. But I'm sure a place will be picked the closer we get to the date......

Mike H., are you going?

ness, let me know your arrival time and I can pick you up at the airport.

All, did not manage to go to the races this weekend so I have not been able to find out much about the cost of the track, if anyone is interested:
Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch (http://www.springmountainmotorsports.com/) 800-391-6891
Part of the track seems to be available for those dates.

I have not had any feedback on the proposed agenda. I will keep working on. More details to follow soon.

Jordi,
My criteria, for the trip itinerary for the UPM are as follows:

1. Pelican/Porsche nuts gather

2. Beer and plenty of cars to look at.

3. A nice drive or two somewhere out of town and a pot of money to bribe the highway partol if needed.

4. A nice dinner with the whole gang maybe Sunday evening.

A Better Ride than up to MT Charleston would be, going up Charelston Ave past Red Rock Canyon and out to Blue Diamond,,then on to Pahrump. I think its more scenic......

Don't worry tabs, I'm trying to convince Leland and his wife to stay at my place.

The drive to Pahrump is a great idea ... I'm just afraid that some people will not make it back .. too much temptation in that town (and I'm not talking about the race track)

Choices on buffets are clear; either Wynn or Bellagio (or both)

Whoops, By that comment I guess my email didn't go through. We thank you very much, Jordi but the room is already bought and paid for.
However, I will take you up on a quick ride in that beast of yours!

I can't tell if Tabs is being sarcastic or not. Is there something I should know about this hotel?

Yes Kim. Unfortunately that is what it means. I had hoped and believed it would work out fine. The best laid plans.......

I am very uncomfortable with the thought of this Pelican community being loose in Las Vegas without a mature chaperone. Because of my unavailability, I may alert the local authorities.

Just find out that for the 25 and 26 of March a group called 'Lapping Days' (no, I'm not making this out, see www.lappingdays.com) has some space available for other drivers. The people at the Las Vegas PCA says that the group is safe to drive with.

Kettle... pot... what do you mean Red?
