Raptor Roundup in Vegas!

[AndyR]

How about we meet off Craig Rd around 7:15 for a 7:30 departure??? There's a couple gas stations and mini marts right there on the East side of the FWY...

Got a specific address that we can punch into the Nav?

Thanks Brian for your suggestion. Please pick a place (a store, whatever) and provide the street address.

Here's a Google map link. You can pick a place on the map now that Google's putting business names on there.

Dan are you transforming into "Magnatron" for this trip.....?

Also, on a serious note does the range we are going allow .308? I did not see that mentioned.

Thanks.

Ok, I'm now in official 'get ready for the Roundup' mode :mrgreen:

The 9500ix, Blendmount & Invisicord are installed. Just need to throw the usual stuff in the back of the bed, pack gear/cameras and wait for o'dark 30 tomorrow AM.

I should be in Vegas in the early afternoon. If folks want to hook up to do the downtown Fremont area, shoot me a PM or email me at: akroach2000 at yahoo dot com

There's a Pilot Travel Center at the 3600 block of E Craig Road (NW corner of Craig/Pecos) lot's of parking easy access to fwy.


Tim I thought you sold your Raptor for one of those new Indian trucks so you could have legit diesel stacks in the bed...nice to know we'll have you here until they start shipping those bad boys to the US

Well according to that poster for the Roundup that Dan posted, the event goes until 3pm. 8-10am is for Raptor owners only and then from 10-3, it's open to the general public. That's cool that we get the even all to ourselves for the whole morning. Then it's a run over to Nellis Dunes for Raptor owners later on. I'm looking to get into town around 3pm tomorrow.

Hey guys, I think you've assumed this by now but just to be clear, we won't be meeting up with you for a caravan. We'll just meet you at the event. Circumstance has us leaving San Jose around 6pm. We wont pull into Vegas till around 3 or 4am. I plan to grab a couple hour nap at the Cortez, then get to the track for an 8:15 run. Joy runs at 10. After that, depending on what's going on, we might try to catch another couple hours of sleep before joining you guys for a afternoon/evening desert run? We'll just take it as it comes.

Gonna be a great time! But its also gonna be quite a haul for us, in a very short period of time. Don't take it personal if we're a bit cranky :mrgreen:

At least you and Joy Joy get to go. :sad: Me and old Black won't be making it ... BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE MY TRUCK YET!!!! (damn. Did I say that out loud??? <G>) Seriously, I am jealous, but am really glad everyone is getting to go. You will have a blast... have a moment of silence for Falcon and old Black. Screw that... have a beer for us! <G>

Someday... I will see y'all!

I did, but now I am suing those ****ers due to breach of contract. Was going to get the 2.6L and everything.

I actually found Duggers Tugger on craigslist for sale and bought that and will be bringing that to the Ford Raptor event.

Anybody got a winch in case I go off the road? heheheh
