According to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway website, the 2010 February race will once again be known as the "Shelby 427".

Is this correct?

"
Weekend Packages
February 26 - 28, 2010

Sit in style during the 2010 NASCAR Weekend and enjoy the finest view of the competition as it unfolds on the 20-degree banking. This area located along and high above the front stretch, offers a terrific view of the racing and pit action. The terraces feature wide, flip-down seats with cup holders and a private concourse with restrooms, concessions and elevator access. This weekend package includes admission for Friday's qualifying, Saturday's Sam's Town 300 and Sunday's Shelby 427."

Oh yah, you can count me in

[Doug_GT350]

I'll be in Vegas also so keep me abreast of any fun stuff!!

[FordFan1]

Sounds like it will be another awesome Las Vegas race weekend-
We've decided to go to the 50th Winternational this years instead.
I've got two weekend (Fri-Sat-Sun) tickets to sell or trade for WinterNationals tickets-

I've renewed this tickets for 8 yrs straight.... These are some of the best seats you can get with the handicap section behind you, this makes available extra space for storage and no obnoxious fan to spill beer on your backside...

Section 2S (Blue) Row 30 (Row 31 & 32 is a flat cement area for wheel chair access)
High enough to see the complete track but still close enough to enjoy the action on pit row....

$215 a ticket + $15 service charge = $445

I'll definitely be in Vegas - go all my tickets already!

First stop again is SAI on Friday morning!!

[Fontech]

The 1st Shelby 427 in Feb '09 was a GREAT event. All the TS Members received the tickets from SAI, which helped with the trip. I doubt that SAI will have tickets for the Shelby 427 in Feb '10. What is the price for the tickets? Would SAI have a better price?

I don't know - since we weren't hearing anything, I jumped on mine because the good (IMO) seats were going fast. I got the weekend package Fri thru Sunday. You can see what's available by going to http://www.lvms.com/...nascar_weekend/

Does anyone know the answer to the original topic question yet?

I sent Bud a PM and they (SAI) don't know yet if they are sponsoring or not!

[DannyChains]

Has anyone been to the Neon Garage at the track? Is it better to watch the race from there or at your seats? I'm looking into tickets and not sure if it's worthwhile or not. Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan

Never been to the track so I can't answer your question but.... Unless you know someone, the only tickets left are between turns 3 and 4.

It's only going to be the original 400 miles this year.

I'm in for the Harley Cafe again this year but might have to find a new spot. Because of City Center opening and they moved Harmon Ave. there's a turning lane in front of the Cafe now.

Dan,
The Neon garage is an excellent place to watch the Cup teams work during Saturday's practice but doesn't allow very good visablilty of the track unless you don't mind watching it on the HUGE big screen in the center of the food/beverage area... I usually watch the Saturday practice in the Neon spend then head out to me seat just beofre the Nationalwide race starts. After the Nationwide race I then head back into the Neon Garage and watch the Victory Lane celebration while waiting out the traffic. There's plenty of beverages and entertainment to pass the time (beats seating in traffic).

In the past I've purchased Neon tickets Saturday morning, the tickets have yet to ever sell out. You could also splurge and purchase a COLD or HOT pit pass for Sunday morning.

Thanks for the info FordFan1, sounds like it's definitely worth it . Like I said earlier, I'm bringing my younger brother with me to the race. He was shot up pretty bad over in Afghanistan last year and sustained serious damage to his left knee and leg. I want to make this trip memorable for him.

He is a big NASCAR fan and I want to show him that I am glad I still have him. We already have tickets to the race, kind of in the same area as we all received last year from Team Shelby. I plan on taking him to the museum on Monday, after the race like I went last year. Only we won't be able to have lunch at the cafe before heading home.

And ofcourse, we're drving the Shelby to Vegas.
