Well I just booked my flight and room as I've watched the price go up for the last 2 weeks and didn't want them to go up again this week. I'm flying out wed. afternoon and flying back home on monday evening. I hope the weather is warm as I'm tired of the cold here in southern Illinois. Hope to meet up with some of you there.

Oh man.....I would be so amped up if I was you           

 Yea, I hear what your saying about the price going up and down...Was definitely the same deal when I booked in 08........even within the same day I saw my particular flight fluctuate by almost $200  ......I waited till the very last minute, till I could no longer wait no more, and that day they went back down to the lowest I saw the whole time looking.
Sometimes it pays to wait 
 Anyhoo, hope you have a safe trip Jeff.....and please take a ton of pics for us lonely saps hanging back this year

I just started a thread on Classic Cuda and Chally`s galore about this, and then I found this....go figure. Sorry people for doubling up. I`am going also and am very pumped to say the least. Hope to meet alot of new friends. I`am coming down on the morning of the 26 until the evening of the 30. Should be awesome

Anyone who is going to be in Vegas later this month for Mopars at the Strip,can join Hotchkis and Keisler on Friday and Saturday for the first ever MATS autocross.


This is the perfect opportunity to try your hand (and gas/brake footwork) on a safe, low speed track. The planned 20 second course will be safe to run with any vehicle, and no helmets or previous experience are necessary.


The course is free to all MATS attendees, and instruction will be provided. If you still feel too shy to run your own car, 11-time national autocross champion Mary Pozzi will be on hand to offer demo rides in the Hotchkis and Keisler project Mopars.

Feel free to PM me with questions.

I am bringing my camera so I will be sure to get some pics. 

[bb71challenger]

Cool. I plan to go next year. Have a great time, take lots of pics and have a safe trip to and from.

It was a 4 hour drive there.  I set the cruise on 80 and I didnt' slow down once. Left at 5:30 and rolled in at 9:30.   The drive back was another story.  I left at 3:15.  The 15 was a parking lot. It took a little over 2 hours to make it to the border 40 miles away.  There were actually cars driving across the desert parallel to the freeway thinking it would be faster.   I swung off the 15 through the Mojave state park and hit the 44.  That was clear sailing until I hit the 15 again. Then it was more gridlock until I hit south of Riverside.  I got home at 11:45 for a 8.5 hour trip!

It was a blast!  There were some awesome cars and some great racing.  The weather was perfect as well.  What a cool place. I will definetly go next year!

I took around 400 photos.  I will upload some when I get a chance.
