Las vegas is such a dull track. I'd suggest either the Northwest
Historics/Portland Historics which is two tracks in two weekends (PIR and
Pacific Raceway) or the Columbia River Classic at PIR on Labor Day weekend
which has a heck of a party and a ton of track time.
Another choice is the Monterey Prehistoics at Laguna Seca whhich accepts a
lot of cars. Not much track time, but you can stay over and take in the
Historics (even if you can't get your car accepted the Monterey Historics is
a wonderful event)

FoT:
Of course Cary left out the fact that he was injured playing with his
children. Dangerous stuff. (not in the racecar or the bedroom)
I agree with Cary, we should try a FoT event on both Coasts in 2007.
Las Vegas would make it a bit easier for some of us to tow....and it is
a
destination location. Fontana might be a choice. Plenty of venue
choices
in the Spring and early summer for the East Coast.
I would promote Road America in 2008 (Kastner Cup) and Portland's
Columbia
River Classic in 2008 with any encouragement from the list, at all.
