Lots of excitement for this event, but with it not being at an actual track, I'm hoping they still hold the race on dirt........ it'll be all good regardless, but just sayin'.

...or wake up married to a random girl named Candy-
I was listening to a podcast and he jokingly said "I'm a good man, I give almost 50% of my paycheck to charity. Except when she isn't working I give it to Candy"

Finally a vintage race I can drive to. Hotel booked. The entry form isn't clear but I emailed Associated and its $150 PER class with a 5 class max.
They told you this in an email?
Would be nice of them to clarify as the page literally says at the top: "Maximum Purchase: 1 unit"
So essentially if that is true we would need to submit a separate 'order' for each entry I assume?
Also, I am also assuming each $150 entry gives you the "Reservation and discount" on the limited edition kit?
Meaning, if I pay for five entries, you can buy five kits.
One kit per entrant regardless of how many entries you paid for would be a bit ridiculous given the inflated registration fee.
Lastly, clarification on track layout and surface type would be cool as well. Again the assumption would be carpet, but who knows

Same with the buffet tickets, since they are $50 and your race fee gets you a buffet ticket, it would seem like they need to rethink the charges

I have never been to Vegas. The only time I’ve wanted to go was for Shot Show but after hearing some not so good stories I decided to pass. Now this, thus makes me want to go again! I wish I could afford it!

I've been to Vegas twice between the early to mid '00s, and stayed at the Bellagio both times. Since at least the pandemic, I've only heard and read negative stories about it as well. I guess a lot has changed, and not for the better.
The best part of both trips was the Maverick helicopter tour to the Grand Canyon. Shooting a Colt M16 machine gun was pretty cool as well.

I know - not the easiest of sign up systems. I emailed their customer service and that is what they told me - yes, you have to repeat the whole process for each class you want to enter. I didn't ask if you get one t shirt for each class
The Facebook post on the Associated page said the track will be old school dirt so that's great news.

That's the part they might not have thought through, do people signing up for 5 classes get 5 shirts, 5 $50 buffet tickets, and 5 abilities to purchase the promo kit they will have? Seems odd that it's being done this way
