Vegas weekend of 8/24?
 
So apparently, by coincidence, a few members here are going to be in Vegas on the same weekend August 24th - 26th. @Fish @oso_25 @Trojan_SC

Just wanted to see if there's any others that plan on going that weekend? We didn't plan on driving our FR-S' there but if there's a sizable amount of people, I'd be interested to drive mine and meet up with the Vegas owners.

Calidrifter 08-02-2012 03:50 AM

Nah, I'll be there first weekend in October for NPPL (paintball tournament). Hope you guys have fun.

ragingSPAM 08-02-2012 04:04 AM

That weekend is Formula Drift at the LVMS. Gates open during main event day at 4pm on the 25th. Qualifiers are on the 24th.

Ill be there the 23rd-27th

Fish 08-02-2012 10:42 AM

I won't be there until Saturday morning unfortunately. If I get there early I'll probably be able to meet up with people. I may be with my friends for the rest of the trip since I'm there for their wedding weekend. Maybe we can get breakfast Sunday. I'll more than likely be up really early so I'll have nothing to do while everyone else is sleeping.

@Calidrifter - I haven't seen a paintball tournament in a long time. I remember going to watch a tournament once a while ago. Can't remember if it was NPPL or something else though. It was in Huntington beach though.

@ragingSPAM - I want to go watch that sooooo bad. Let me know how it goes. Hopefully next time I can make there.

oso_25 08-02-2012 10:57 AM

Sunday morning would be fine with me. Going to Vegas for a bachelor party. Was thinking about getting a rental car but my as of right now who knows. I'm staying at the Silverton by the way

autofashionfred 08-02-2012 11:22 AM

We will be in vegas on Saturday. We will be running the Targa Trophy Rally from LA to LV and dropping the car off at the Falken booth at formula d. Hopefully we get to meet everyone out there. We staying till Monday.

Calidrifter 08-02-2012 12:53 PM

@Fish yeah they still have them at HB. I played in that tournament earlier this year.

Neurytic 08-12-2012 09:30 PM

I believe I met some of you at AutoCon couple weeks back; @Fish . I will be heading to Vegas for FD and for First Drive on friday. I'll be taking my FRS no doubt. Anyone else down to roll out together??

oso_25 08-12-2012 11:29 PM

I will roll with you in my rental car lol

r4m3n 08-13-2012 04:31 AM

Not sure if I'm going to vegas anymore...interest within my group died off :/

Fish 08-13-2012 10:30 AM

Looks like my group may be leaving Friday after all.

SkullWorks 08-13-2012 05:15 PM

I'll be up there for FD

Ms. FR-S 08-14-2012 01:41 AM

I'll definitely be there from the 23rd to the 27th for Formula Drift. I'm not sure what car I'm going to bring, though. 2013 FR-S, 2005 GTO, or 1993 RX-7... decisions, decisions... lol

Unleashed 08-14-2012 01:54 AM

There will be quite a few of us LV86 Club members there with our FR-S's so bring the FR-S! haha


PS: you have nice cars

I'm leaning towards the FR-S, it'd be nice to show her off a bit and mingle with other FR-S owners!

...plus her AC works the best. XD

And yes, I love my cars! :wub:

You have any work done to it? Ice cold AC is always a plus for long distance summer trips

I haven't done any work yet; I just got her on Saturday. I was so excited! I took her to autocross the next day, and she was a lot of fun! On my to-do list are exhaust (I'm hoping I can grab the ISIS), an alternate set of tires, and window tinting. Hopefully I can get some of that done before Formula Drift, but most likely not since I'm prepping the RX-7 for SevenStock 15 at the end of September.

Nice! How'd she feel AutoX'ing?

Sounds like its going to be a nice clean FR-S

She felt great! Nice, tight handling; I don't think there's any need to tweak suspension, at least not yet. I want to keep all mods nice and clean looking; the FR-S is a lovely car already. If something I really think looks great and is high quality comes out in the future I will consider it, but for now I will leave her as she is :)

The Kirby 08-14-2012 03:00 AM

Hey guys. A group of us will be showing at Slammed Society/FD Vegas. If you are interested in entering your car sign up with my promo code of SSVegasKQUINTO w/ the promo code registration is is only $32. It comes with you, your car and a guest. Its actually cheaper than paying for parking and 2 people to get in.

Neurytic 08-14-2012 11:44 AM

Damnit Kirby... wish you would have said so a couple days earlier >_<. I already bought my two tickets!

Awwwww. Did you buy FD tickets?

Chauntalei 08-14-2012 01:48 PM

I just got back from a week in Vegas, and I don't know if the girlfriend will let me jet off again so quickly, but I'm still seriously considering it! The 21st is my birthday, so a weekend in Vegas sounds like a good way to celebrate!

I'm thinking about taking off to vegas when I get mine... but I'm so sketchy about leaving it in the hotel parking garage. So then I thought, "well I'll valet!" -- then I realized that was an even worse idea.

FR-S owner problems.............

Neurytic 08-14-2012 02:52 PM

Yeah I bought my FD Tickets.

Alright, so I guess I can try to organize a roll out of some sort for Friday the 24th. Considering everyone should be ending up on the I-15. What time was everyone thinking of leaving for Vegas? @Fish @oso_25 @Ms._FRS @SkullWorks @r4m3n
Perhaps we can figure a time where we could meet? I'd like to head out in the morning-ish out of Riverside.

@Unleashed: Are the LV people rolling out/parking together at FD? I wouldn't mind being a part of it.

If there is anyone else who likes to join, let me know.

@The_Kirby: Yeah I bought my tickets already >_< Besides, my car isn't really modified yet. : /

oso_25 08-14-2012 02:58 PM

I know for a fact I am not going to bring my Frs we got a rental car for the three of us that are going to Vegas. I can wait to see u guys on the road and I will be leaving OC at 11:30 or so.

AJUSA.com 08-14-2012 03:03 PM

I will be there for Targa Trophy, which ends at Formula D @ LVMS. From there we will be attending the afterparty at the Palms Hotel, with Rusko as the entertainment.

Care to join?

The Kirby 08-14-2012 03:13 PM

Dude there's 17 of us in my group rolling out of Rancho Cucamonga. LOL!

Fish 08-14-2012 03:41 PM

I won't be leaving until the evening. My buddy is getting married in the morning and we have some lunch thing around 12:30 or so. I also probably won't be taking my car since theres like 4 of us going. Won't know till the day of.

are you ridin solo ?

The Kirby 08-14-2012 04:06 PM

FYI. If you guys are driving lowered or slammed cars. Please read below regarding construction on I15


Thank you for using the web as a means of communicating your concerns with
the Department. The bridge work on I-15 toward Las Vegas was under
suspension for a couple of months, but has resumed operations as of two
weeks ago. The project is estimated for completion in January 2013.
Should you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to
contact me.

Don't think I'm going anymore since my group bailed out of it :(

Even if I did, I would be going Friday night after 7pm. But hey, if I end up going spontaneously, I'll meet up with you peeps there.

janesoreal 08-14-2012 06:21 PM

For those going to Vegas next weekend...there's this "Formula D after Dark" drive event for the Scion FR-S on Friday.

http://scionfdvegas.eventbrite.com/

Why mess with your own car when you can do it on someone elses? jk :p

Any word on group parking at Formula Drift yet? I'm really looking forward to this weekend and seeing what everyone's done with their FR-S/BRZ's.

oso_25 08-20-2012 01:04 PM

Before I forget just wanted to say good luck to everyone that's going to Vegas may we win big so we can add some nice gear to our cars or help pay some bills :)

The Kirby 08-20-2012 03:08 PM

Make sure to cheer on for Scion Racing folks!
