Sleep? Sleep?? Sleep????
What's Sleep, it's Vegas, Man !
Duh!

Like the sign on the Auto doors said "Keep moving, don't stop"

No matter what time you get there, we'll make room for you at the bar.

I get the feeling this ear is going to be a continuation of last year.

Hey! Hey!!

MotoringPhotography will be @ AMVIV 3.

The man's name is David Bunting, check it out;
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=60259

He did a great layout of Eamon's MINI.

I'm thinking about getting him to do my classic Mini this year, was just have too much fun last year.

I'll be at the rest stop just south of Tracy on the I-5 at 10 AM Thursday if any Bay Area or Sacto folks want to rendezvous. Figure on pulling into Vegas around 6:30 PM, including breaks and lunch.

Bring yourself and your favorite MINI companion to the Las Vegas Speedway on Saturday. Join us in a Phil Wicks Driving Academy event and watch the MINI Challenge.

Regards,
Speedway Sid

I am really thinking about going from the east bay but have not booked any thing yet. I am going to wait until next week.

Would you say it was worth the trip?

How many are going on Thursday and who would be the 'run' organizer?

1. Would I be investing my very valuable time otherwise?

2. Unknown. You can get up at zero dark thirty and join the other Type A's at East Bay MINI in Pleasanton at 0730 or join me at the Tracy rest stop at 10 or just make your own way down and pick up MINIs along the way.

3. Organizer, schmorganizer. I'll bring a couple radios and that's it.

I don't know if I can meet up with everyone because I have to work on Thursday... but if anyone is driving thursday night/evening let me know. I'd rather follow a MINI!

Worth the trip! Especially if you've never been to AMVIV before.

At least 5 so far from the Bay Area.

I figure the same route as last year and meet up with MidCal 9am in Fresno.
Route will be posted soon. Here and on norcalminis.com

Sounds great and like I would have to be an idiot to miss it.

Will watch for further information.
