The race is held inside the casino (in the Ball Room) Kids are welcome to attend and race but are not permitted in the gaming area. There is a stage that is used for the drivers stand and a nice big track is setup. There are lots of great people to talk with and get help from. They have a raffle drawing that you are entered into when you register for the classes, one per class.

This is a great race to attend and one I would recommend you attend it you can.

info updated above with new infomaton.

updated info above.  :)

we are getting pretty close to this race now.   I wanted to start posting some info. 

Rooms at the Roadway Inn are $59 a night for a room with 2 queen beds.   this is where we have stayed the last few years.

Riverton Wyoming hotels, Rodeway Inn & Suites hotel in Riverton WY | Riverton hotels (http://www.rodewayinn.com/hotel-riverton-wyoming-WY090)

I'm still trying to get some info on the new Hotel that is being build at the casino.   I'll post up as soon as I have the info.

I called the Casino and they said the hotel should be done around mid January. I asked about pricing and they really dont have it yet but expect around $89 or so. I asked about group rates and they said they will have them but the price is unknown right now.

I think it would be worth a bit more to not have to pack our stuff out to the car two nights in a row if possible.

Will keep you informed as I find out more information.

We need to get the T-shirts going!!

I finally got a answer from the casino on the rooms.  Rooms at the casino will be $129 Friday and Saturday. Sunday the rooms are $109.  They are kind of pricey ???.  Let me know if anyone is interested.  I need to give them a room count.

Casino room update!  If we can get 10 rooms reserved, they will be only $80 per night!  Let me know ASAP!  I think we're up to three! :)

we are racing tomorrow,  so I'll take to everyone about it then.   thanks.

OK,  we are close to the room # needed, so keep that in mind.     we need to talk about plans for driving, rooms, etc. 

I talk with Shuman and she is going to come and race as well.   Cygen will also be coming and racing.  Meilin will be going with us as well.   I think if we take the Van we can squeeze in a few more people if they want to go with us. 

Rooms,   with the 4 of us we'll need to get our own room.   Russ you might want to talk to Nino about possibly sharing a room or Chad and Luke. 

I would assume that Nino and Cady will be wanting thier own room (I know I would  :-*) and 3 guys in 1 room with 2 beds just doesnt work (sorry Chad  :flex:) .So unless someone else from here is going and want to split a room and maybe a ride I think I might have to sit this one out.

I don't think so,   I'm sure something can be worked out...  silly, silly Russ.    I'm going to contact Jace and see if he is interested in going again.  Maybe you could split the Room with him.

I also talked with Nino and he is fine with splitting a Room.   the Roadway had those suites with a separate room that would be perfect.   

Shannon sent this to me yesterday,   we need to finalize plan soon on what everyone is going to do.  We can talk on Thursday.

we can split! no need for a separate room. just bring ear plugs!! haha I kidd I kidd

Funny!! Ear plugs and an Eye mask!!  :eek: :eek: :eek:

Actually I was going to tell you the same thing, but for a different reason zzzzzzzz.
I am going to book a room in the Casino. For $80 I am fine getting my own room if you guys would rather get your own room. I'll leave it up to you.

O, are we going to be staying at the casino?

 :oops
No I think we are all staying at the Roadway now. Chad booked a 3 bedroom suite for Him, Luke and me yesterday. Its pretty cheap like $50 a night for a regular room. We were planning on discussing all this tonight. Are you and Cady coming to race?

Nino will be there,  Cady is going to come if she gets done in time to make it,   She has 2 games they are dancing at tonight.

Looking forward to racing with all you guys in a few weeks!!

we'll have a decent group coming from Salt Lake,   We always have a great time racing with everyone.    Looking forward to this one for sure.   See everyone in a just over 2 weeks.

   :censored: :censored: :censored:  well it looks like i'm not going to make it  :censored: :censored:  I really hate my job...   


   currently looking for a new job


   

So the guy still won't cover for you huh!   That really sucks. I. Was really hoping that he would fold under some pressure.

here is the track we will be running in Wyoming.

Cool.

I think I will have room to take track with me. Possibly alot.

me too,  I think we'll be taking the Van if Chad Rides with us.   I also got a text from Ben,  there is a small chance he might be able to make the race as well.

Actually I was thinking I would take my Van and have myself, Chad, Nino, Cady, and possibly Ben if he can make it ride with me. If its just the 4 of us we will have extra room for track and if its 5 then we will have a little less room for track. That way we could get up there and back with just two vehicles, your van and mine. This is one of the things I wanted to talk about on Thursday.

That would actually work out really good.   for both making sure we have room for everyone and all gear.    Shannon is getting a tile count for me so I'll know what I need to bring for track but I do know I'll need to bring some.   I've also got a long HDMI cable so we can utilize the big screen TV's that are in the room.

here is a progress shot of my Mclaren body for Wyoming.   I did this all last night.  it's not perfect but looks pretty good.  I till have a few details to do on it and then clear it.    :D

That looks really cool. I might peel all the stickers off mine and paint it too. But probably not before Wyoming.I did do a new pan body though.

Done!   turned out great.
