May Madness 2003

[Joseph Donnelly]

This event has attendees from all over the country and Canada--please see the registration information in the Southwest forum. It will be held May 7-10 in Las Vegas, NV.



Among other things, this year we expect to have most if not all of the high horsepower Rams playing on the dyno for everyone's enjoyment

 

[Gary - K7GLD]

Joe, is there any available daily program of events directly involved with MM, including places, times and such - and including locations/addresses for those activities not right at Arizona Charlies? Maybe including conference rooms for seminars and vendors, as well as their time schedules?

 

[Snow man]

Joe, where do most guys stay locally? Ive never been there. Im trying to book a flight,no way i can drive its to far. Id love to go though. Any help would be appreciated

 

[willyslover]

sitting here thinking about the 80* weather as I watch the damn snow falling, will have to plow soon... AH the warm temps and some weed whacker margaritas. . and a good round of bench race lies

 

[BPINE]

A list of the FUN events is always posted at BPINES trailer, which includes tearing apart any truck we can get our hands on to see what makes it tic and an endless supply of Margaritas!!! Last year I can't remember going to bed before about 3:30 am and we were even serenaded by a passing violinist after midnight.

There doesn't seem to be as many organized activities as there were when money was supplied by others but we still seem to have as much fun.

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

Gary, take a look at the thread on the Southwest forum for what's happening. Almost everything is at Arizona Charlie's, and they gave us a good group rate. Almost everyone will stay there, in the hotel or the RV park (closer to the margaritas ).

Basically Wednesday is registration and tour of J&S Diesel, the Bosch pump shop. Wedn and Thu evenings we will have build your own cold cut sandwiches for dinner like before, at the Az Charlie RV park admin building and the pool adjacent. Thu and Fri are at the Speedway, dynoing at Silver State, and drag racing Friday night. Sat is at Az Charlies, vendor talks at the admin building, vendor booths in the covered parking garage, show n shine at the top level of the garage (in the sun, as requested). Banquet and awards ceremony 7pm Sat at Sam's Town, Town Hall C.

 

[Gary - K7GLD]

Joe, where is the speedway, Silver State and J&S Diesel in relation to AC's, and also Sam's town? Maybe some addresses?



Gotta remember, some us are old coots, with a lousy sense of direction - and unless all these places are right next door to AC's, I like to print out detailed maps so I don't get lost. . It's been 50 years since I lived in Henderson, and I suspect it's changed a bit since then...



I suppose most all this info will be provided once we get there, but a little advance preparation is a GOOD thing!



In case you hadn't noticed, I'm a chronic worrier...

 

[BPINE]

Gary Worry no more you just get yourself to Arizona Charlie's an we will take care of the rest, you will be in the right spot at the right time, trust me Last year they gave out maps to all locations and it worked out fine.

 

[HeberRam]

Maps!!!!

Blaire. . Make sure I get a map in my goodie bag to where your trailer will be!!!

[Joseph Donnelly]

Don't worry. Silver State is at the Speedway which is off exit 54 of I-15, just north of town. The speedway is the only thing at the exit other than a few remaining, very hardy jackrabbits J&S is off Trop(icana) which is x37. AzC's is on Boulder highway, east of I-15. You could invest in a Rand McNally at KMart or WalMart and look at the map of Vegas. Otherwise just follow the line of Rams



Hey Blair, do you really want me to set out a space for you and give EVERYONE a map to it



Yeah! Margaritas! Oo.

 

[Gary - K7GLD]

"You could invest in a Rand McNally at KMart or WalMart and look at the map of Vegas. "



After paying for the new truck, I can't AFFORD luxuries like roadmaps!



Sounds like it's all well covered, and as long as I'm not behind one of those 700 HP smoke bellowing fellas, we should be OK - I sure don't wanna be the butt of one of those smoke stories, and want to keep my truck WHITE!

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

WHAAAT? 700 hp monsters will be there. Sickly is cringing in fear. :{



The rest of us can't wait Oo.

 

[willyslover]

Blair... what supplies other than tequila should one bring to help to contribute to the weed whacker margarita supplies... [for those that will be their and don't know]... ... don't get down to Costco often now so need to plan ahead

 

[Cliffman]

Forget bombing the trucks Blair, this is going to be your full time job. Gary, you just better bring a whole lot. It's margarita time baby Oo. Oo. Oo.

 

[willyslover]

See~

 

[Jack fr MO]

BTW

Arizona Charlie's is across the street from a Big RV repair shop at least it was in 2001 and they replaced our AC on short notice.

 

[BPINE]

Everyone bring tequila I will supply the rest to complete the DULLYS.



You are to much Cliff !!!! Oo.

[Joseph Donnelly]

Gary, I am getting a few normal sized shirts made for you and the select few who are man enough to wear them They will cost a couple bucks more, but by popular demand we can't have you out there without a shirt
