We are planning on being there as it will be the roll out of our Commander (1921) as Avid Offroad Racing...the build is going well, picking it up from H-Town Perf on the 22nd...then bringing it back to Tucson for the remainder of the build. We will be putting on the Turnkey UTV LT suspension here, finishing up the build and start the testing... whole lot of work ahead of us and not much time. Sounds like a whole lot of new, never raced rigs will be there for their first race race.. hope it doesn't turn into a Garage Sale!

1915 will be there for sure. Hopefully our titanium spring retainers last more than 8 miles this time. Our motor is bigger but not a 1000 yet. We made a couple changes to get more top end for this race and hopfully it will pay off.
Where does everyone stay for the race? We leave after the quads so it will be early and the start line is 95 miles north of Vegas (tech and reg).

1932 Baja Bobsled will be there.
JX-Mike. I think the start is going to be at the Alamo truck stop...yes/no? If so Mesquite is no closer than Aliente Station host hotel...maybe further.
I am debating whether to drag my toy hauler over and staying the night at the truck stop. Hmmmm...

You're probably right Matt...that's why our "logistical engineer (Bill)" always makes sure that we're in the right place...otherwise, we'd probably be at the wrong starting line, in the wrong city, possibly in the wrong state.

Haha...I need a 'logistical engineer' too!
I just read on the BITD website that the host hotel Aliente Station is full. Plan B.
Also I would assume that Cory S and Lasher will be there. Plus Bill Morris from Bakersfield is racing the SF250 in his RZR 4 (-2) this weekend, but said he is also shooting for the SS300. With luck we should have 15 or so.

As the absolute newbies here, we are asking the same questions...my thought too, was just after tech and drivers meeting..to drive out and park at the Start/finish (same place right?) guess we have some time to figure out the details..
and yes I will get Hotlz pic of his Commander off my avatar as soon as we have some decent pics of our own Commander...
I/A
there are some other hotels in the area texas station casino and santa fe station casion's they are not as close but i would go with santa fe with there parking area is much better
i will be leaving vegas at 4am to make the start and have time to relax before the start it is a 2 lane hiway to alamo there is a good truck stop when you turn off the 15 it is a loves teavel plaza they seem to always have good gas/diesel prices and big areas to swing trucks and trailers in

I just booked two rooms in Alamo The hotel is the alamo in
Alamo Inn (775) 725-3371 367 N Us Highway 93, Alamo, NV
The rooms have three beds and they are less than $60 each night. Hopefully this is closer to the starting line. Having never been there, we will see.
Just sent in my pre-registration. I called and reserved the rooms with the guy at the front but the manager was out so he did not take my Visa. I called back to give it to the manager and they told me they have been sold out for two months. Oh well, I was excited for a while. Looks like we are going to be camping at the start line so we don't have to get up too early.
Hopefully we draw something better than 11. This is going to be a long one.

I think I am going the camping route also.
I don't know if starting position is going to be all that important at this race. A lot of the fast 2/1600 guys request a rear start in Baja races. It takes 'position physically vs position on time' out of the equation if you take 'er to the front. But having said that I am going to get my entry in for the drawing ASAP.
I heard Lucas does a wicked BBQ!
The camping/ trailer route is best, and there is a large area near the starting line, and a truck stop. Last year we were suprised how long the drive was from Vegas, and you do not want to do that early in the am. Will make for a long day and no sleep!
