Re: wich races are at the vegas area???

Two closest races to Vegas would be the race in Buttonwillow, CA (300 mi) and Inde Motorsports Park in Wilcox, AZ (500 mi).  Sears Point/Sonoma, CA and Thunderhill/Willows, CA are a bit farther but have airports in the general area that you can fly into from Vegas.  All 4 tracks have large airports with flights from Las Vegas that are roughly within an hour's drive.  You might take note of the weather/temperature for each area around the time of the race as some have temperatures that may be a bit outside your comfort zone.  Note that Thunderhill has a race on their 5 mile track whose length is a bit closer to a certain track you have back home.  As to your other post regarding a car, you might search for and contact Spank through the forum here.

Keep in mind also that the schedule changes every year and tracks come and go off of it sometimes.

Generally the races are the same time each year for tracks we have been going for a while but they do change.  The new schedule tends to come out end of October beginning of November for the next year.

Arizona tends to be the easiest race listed to get in, but that also probably would mean less likely that there may be people that could rent entire cars for other people to drive.

FWIW, Inde is also a general aviation airport when racing isn't going on so you can fly in on a small plane.

While there are a number of events that tend to regularly come up about the same time each year, It’s all dependant on when tracks have available cheap rates mostly.

Nobody has been privy to the nth dimentional math, dark witchcraft, and farm animal precognition methods deployed by Jay and Lemons HQ in order to resove the schedule each year.

We just provide enough knuckle blood sacrifices and devotions to purchase things we don’t need but put on the car anyways to appease whatever strange forces dictate when the next years schedule comes out.
