Mopars at the Strip
April 1-3, 2005
Las Vegas Motor Speedway
http://www.moparsatthestrip.com
3 days of drag racing - truck-only class available with $75 entry fee, $250 1st place payoff, typically pays out to semi-finals (top 4 finishers). The first two days are open test n tune, the third is E.T. brackets.
3 days of car show - multiple truck categories are available, $50 entry fee. Enjoy seeing everything happening at the event while possibly winning a trophy plaque for your efforts.
General Admission (advanced registration): $20 for one day, $40 for the 3-day weekend.
Every year there has been a lot of exhibitors at the show, such as the HEMI Under Glass race car, the McDonald's trio of Mopar drag cars, HEMI dragsters, etc. This year will also include the mobile Dodge exhibition display with factory reps on hand to answer questions about their product.
Some other event extras:
4x4 poker run for off-roaders
Burnout contest (free entry)
Truck dyno king pulloff
Mopar Street Challenge (the total Mopar package contest)
Multiple Magazines on hand
Fri/Sat cruises to The Cannery hotel - the event participants get to park in a special section of the parking lot, quite often people will hang around outside just chatting with the other owners and the public, it always attracts quite a crowd.
Free live band Fri/Sat night at The Cannery hotel - a special section of the hotel is reserved for event participants, which includes a bar and catered food (the food/drink isn't free, but you don't have to buy it to enjoy the band). The band which is playing this year is a nationally recognized act, if you went to see them in concert you'd probably pay as much as the event's entry fee.
Unfortunately there is so much going on at the event this year that the organizers cannot offer a group registration discount. Pre-registration is available at http://www.moparsatthestrip.com, and a thread has been created at http://www.dakota-durango.com/forum in the events area if people have any further questions.
