[DeTomaso] Vegas track time

[LSJ]

It seems like the event gives you a lot of interesting seat time which is important for the time/$$$ outlay.
I also like the mix of driving events between the AX and open track. 

Tell us about the Virginia City Hillclimb also please.

Very well run event.  Long day on Saturday.   Great people and really tough completion. Many purpose built cars.   I was thinking of running in Vegas but trying to get my other car (firebird ) ready for the seasonA well prepped Pantera could do wellTires are a key.  You need the best 200 rated tires which are really like a Dot road race tire. Brakes are critical for the stop box.  My Pantera was 12 th in that sector 3 years back at the Sema finalWill be to another soon. Second best event I have doneVirginia City Hillclimb is the best ever

Bob, tell us more about your Optima Street car event experiences.
I've been trying to convince Ron that we need to build something for that event.

  If you really want to run your car in Vegas you can enter the
  Optima Ultimate Street car qualifier.. it is April 15-17
  For $750 you can run as many stop boxes you can on
  half of Saturday -15-20 if you hurry.. then go over to the autocross
  track and run that for another 15-20 times.. go on a cruise that
  evening to show the car is street worthy .. then on Sunday run the
  track in 3-4 sessions... lots of time to beat on that Pantera
  testing brakes, clutch and tires to the limit
  And my comment on the proper use of the back screen is
  to run your 4" straight 180 headers thru it.. then there will
  be a lot of flow going outward only... trust me:)
