I took all vegas money and paid for trip and then some. i only took $100 out first day and turned it into two weeks in celebrity suites in mgm then Ceasars Palace and sushi 3 times a day. Good times.
Eric did a fantastic job putting that whole thing together.
Even stayed for the am days on Sunday, like we didn’t get enough the 2 pro days prior.
Our kids were young, racing was always intense, great memories.
Can’t be repeated.
Metcalf getting his first win was really cool too. Weimers first pro ride on Josh Grants Amsoil Honda. I didnt know anything about weimer as an am but we were seated next to Grant and right behind Weimer and his dad and got the whole scoop and became insta fans. Even got Jlawed. I thought he was racing and we happened to be standing next to Josh Hansen in line and Jlaw walks up. We said good luck to them and Jlaw told us he was pumped and ready but was not even racing. Ha Excellent. Good times.
Pit Row
With that said, if anyone has the programs from The US open 98’- 03’ I’d be willing to pay…….
Almost surreal to be in MGM gambling/drinking/looking at hot girls, and then just walk down a short indoor corridor and be at at SX race (yes a small version).
And after the race was just about everyone in the industry at the tables (or bars), you could just walk around at each table was someone you recognized. I sat at a blackjack table with Mitch and I think it was Bones (?- it was a long time ago), plus a few other guys, for about an hour. Mitch was betting a little higher stakes than I was at that time....
