Laps for Charity Las Vegas NASCAR Speedway
Anyone here coming to Vegas in January to do this? Looks like it could be a real blast and the price is right. If you sign up through/with a Camaro club it's only $75 for 6 laps on the track. I signed up with the Utah club as my local club isn't having an organized participation this year. I've driven an Indy car on this track and it is a fun one.

I'm planning on being there with my granddaughter; going to do the VIP package, just don't know if I'll be bringing/driving my Camaro or my Corvette yet.

Being an organized event for charity, they keep it to a pace car limit. Between 90-115 MPH seems to be the norm. But banking on that high curve is something else. I've done it at 140 in an Indy car and I'm betting that at 115 in a Camaro is going to be pretty cool.
You can find a few cool vids on You Tube from charity runs in the past. All in all, this is just a good time to meet car people, see some cool cars and drive on a real NASCAR (and one-time Indy) track and get some brag rights. |

I'll look for you there. My granddaughter is 15 and a true car enthusiast, she's really looking forward to it.

I got my time off of work approved so I will be there. Is it better to get in with a club? I’m not a member of any. I’m a life long NASCAR fan, been to too many races to count. I’ve been on the track And on pit road a few times but never in a car, this is all new to me.

The Southern Utah All Gens Camaro Club seems happy to let folks sign up under their moniker which is right neighborly of them. That's what I did. |

I’ve actually been close to doing the Richard Petty experience a couple time but it never seems to work out for one reason or another. Ive the chance at Charlotte, Dover, and the old Disney world speedway. One of these days for sure.
