double troubleWhat's up with LVMS?
I checked the LVMS website and there is no test n tune or bracket racing schedule shown for the remainder of 2023. Anyone out there know what is going on there?
I'm sure the national and division races will happen but bracket racing? Anyone?
I'm not in a bad mood, I just look that way.........

B KINGDan,
I don't know where you were looking, but the schedule is par for the course during this time of the season. Below is the link, scroll down to Sept.

fivecentcharlieAverage daytime temp in Vegas July/August - 108 degrees. On all that asphalt/concrete, it probably jumps up another 10 degrees.
The street legal deals don't really get going until about 10PM, if they are typical of other tracks that I've seen run those events.

Al AlguirePretty typical under current management. We use to race at night and more often under Blairs management. Seems we keep getting fewer and fewer races each year anymore. With the antonymous testing "courses" taking over some of the facility and trailers taking even more it makes a guy wonder. I think they would be happy with the Nationals, Divisionals, Fling and EDC and call it good honestly.

Thanks Mike!
Looks like a good race for the West coast.
I was worried the dates were going to conflict with previous made plans with friends back East.
Scroll down a little for the flyer.

No idea on LVMS track rental. I don't see a TnT until Sept. along with the points races. The stuff you are seeing in July & August are street legal deals.

Couldn't be much worse than Irwindale out here .....Only $3000 for 6 hours ....I told them I just wanted to do some 60' squirts, then back up and make any changes behind the line.....I explained their return road isn't dragster friendly so no full passes

I would be intersted in a group rental at Bakersfield. It is also a bit more than Irwindale is but if we get a few guys woudl be worth it. Been a few years since I have been to a rental at Bakersfield but seem to recall $5k ish...
