Alan, i love how you say, 'just grab a beer and walk around', instead of just saying 'just walk around' ....... i am firmly in the camp
where a beer goes good with almost every activity

Last year was our first time going for the race, stayed on the strip. Went out to the Hoover damn, which was pretty cool. We did the strip experience and it was ok, a ton of people at night. At nights I just wanted to sip on a bourbon and smoke a cigar at the blackjack table, but my wife had other ideas .We are doing the Fremont St experience this year. I hear the sight seeing will be good on Friday night for Halloween. Planning on hitting the Sphere Sunday night to see the Wizard of Oz. Bring your wallet, a lot to do, but it will cost $$. Track experience was really good, a top notch facility, easy getting in and not bad getting out.

the bourbon and cigar thing is right in my wheelhouse, ill probably get a similar response from the wife, thanks for the info!

Yes, he won a IHRA race this year.

I knew that, just pointing out that it couldn't have been him in 2000. Anybody figure it out? Kirk Kuhns?

Freemont Street has outdoor bars and it is perfectly acceptable and legal to walk around with a cocktail.

Frremont Street on Haloween is live entertainment!

I just grab a beer and walk around trying to figure out:
Who is dressed for Haloween?
Who is just wearing the normal Friday outfit?

Good Luck!

Wish I was going to be in Vegas on Haloween and the 50th Nat. Event.

My wife and I went to the Vegas 4-wide a couple of years ago. We stayed at a hotel a couple of blocks from Fremont Street.
We saw things there that I hadn’t seen before or since.
You’d get arrested here for things that went on that night.
The town we live in doesn’t have as many people as were on Fremont that night.
I can only imagine what it’s going to be like for Halloween weekend.

That’s pretty much every night of the year Alan, have fun

We have a winner! Kanenwisher left TAFC for a long time and ran his car in altered trim at Bandimere in their quick 16 program. After Bandimere closed, he put the funny car body back on and started running the occasional Chaos race along with the October Vegas race the last two years.

I think Stan just came back this year after retiring in the early '90s.

Hi Nunzio. Is it ok to ask if you plan to run the a-fuel tafc in 2026?

Hi Nunzio. Is it ok to ask if you plan to run the a-fuel tafc in 2026?

Hey Michael, thanks for asking. It is my plan to run it in '26. May be a combo of an experienced driver in it while I make hits in it toward getting licensed. Hope to tighten up my plan in the next couple months.
