I like the "Jones'en" quip. Growing up in the 60s, I can relate to that.

Does anyone know what teams are going to be in vegas?

Historically speaking, the first test session in Vegas (this year it is the 16-19 ... next weekend) has been sparsely attended. Usually no pro stockers, and only a few fuelers and alkyhol cars. Also, mostly 330ft squirts. I have not seen a posted list anywhere of teams scheduled to attend.

I will likely only attend 1 day since tickets are $19 for not much action.

It's really a shame, that first one used to be pretty good. We were down there for Hights rookie year, and Force unloaded a 4.80 @ 320 Friday morning first shot. They were running 70's like they were giving them away. Hight went 330+ also. All the Force and All DSR FCs were there, as well as many others.
Then last year, NHRA pulled their "sanction" or whatever from it, and it went downhill.

Really??

Not doubting you but my understanding was that this was a closed private session.

You are correct, the one at PBIR is not open to the public.

...the one at PBIR is not open to the public.

I've never cared for that approach, but I guess they have their reasons.

 

[vegasnitro]

You are correct, the one at PBIR is not open to the public.

It has been the dirty little secret of Vegas testing too ... on weekends when it is open to the public, we get to pay to watch the squirts, then on Mondays and Tuesdays when the track is closed to the public, they fire off the full pulls with a greater regularity ...

Pam and I flying out Thurs night and I might go out there depending on whats going on.

Looking for low to mid 60's

Last I heard, Snake NOT going to be there at the first test. Something about a driver change and having to redo all the cars.......

There is no nitro blast off here in Las Vegas. That weekend has been given to the PSCA (Pacific Street Car Assoc.) There may be some teams testing but most are going to Firebird. I race here and that's what I was told. BUT AS WE KNOW THINGS CAN CHANGE!! So who knows? Bob
