LVMS Outside Road

I was wondering if there was any video of the LVMS track we will be running this week. I was also curious if the track is in the super speedway. LVMS.com doesn't seem to have any info and the track map from SB doesn't correspond with the infield map at http://lvms.com/seating_chart.html.

Who will be there?

Re: LVMS Outside Road

outfield road course used to be run, don't know if that is still the case

PDF track map

view from google earth

You can try Dom Bastien for video, he loaned me incar 2 years ago, I don't believe I still have copies.

Team Juicy Stuff / Links tab above has track maps for future reference.

Re: LVMS Outside Road

Thanks Doug,

I have the track map from the SB site but wasn't able to figure out where it was in relation to the speedway. The LVMS site has no info and looked around TJR - not much there either. It must be the stepchild of LVMS.

Thanks again and if anyone else has any info I would appreciate.

Re: LVMS Outside Road

Duke, I merged your thread with Gary's, same video need.

I will be talking to Mike Marino later today, I'll ask him what he has. I know Dom has some but he hasn't been logging on here much lately.

It is outside the oval on the other side of the street and actually closest to the back entrance to the speedway copmplex. The track is kind of like a couple miles of marginal asphalt on the moon; black and brown are the only 2 colors. Hope that it isn't windy, as sand is an issue. There are basically no facilities other than restrooms at this track, so it is a far less than ideal place for the family to hang out for the day.

Re: LVMS Outside Road

I know there was a video online of this just after the last time we went there... I have googled it until google told me to stop!

Re: LVMS Outside Road

Did someone say gambling and hookers?

One more question, why is it that I can get better pictures of area 51 then the track?
From Youtube.com

“area 51” video results 1 - 20 of about 7,620
vs.
“LVMS outside track” video results 1 - 1 of about 1
“Las Vegas outside track” video results 1 - 2 of about 2

Hmm, maybe there is a conspiracy

Re: LVMS Outside Road

Hmmm... Wally said hookers and Sid said drugs.

As far as the "track" at Vegas, might as well be Area 51. Feels like it when you're there. It's God-forsaken. A mutated kart track in the middle of the desert. Not up to usual Skippy standards. IMO they should lose it.

One clip I got from Bobo was a Port-O-Can almost being blown over by the high winds on an early lapping day. It was ugly, as were many of the pass attempts entering corners with constricting track width.....

On a positive note, you get to watch fighter jets take off/landing at nearby AFB.

Re: LVMS Outside Road

Not just ANY fighters.. the Air Force Thinderbirds.... They usually put on a great "show" almost every day..

http://thunderbirds.airforce.com/200...irds/Home.html

Besides that, everyone is absolutely right. It's like racing on a moonscape.. The track was fun enough, especially since every lap can be different because of blowing sand.. This pic is a good clue... thats start/finish in the background. I don't know if the "chicane" was as entertaining as in 06, when we flipped 3 cars there, ( including the computer car), over the weekend, including the first rollover, on the very FIRST lap of the FIRST session on track for the whole week. An "A" for effort on that one.. LOL...

Last pic is from the Josh Rehm memorial that year..Hard to believe it's been 2 years already..
