Is there any 3rd gen LS nuts that are gonna make this event???

My wife and I are trailering out from Colorado with my car, and I am running the all access package with drag, show, auto cross, and road course.

I'd love to have a mini meet type thing with some of the West Coast LSer's from TGO. So many cars I've wanted to see for years, and its VEGAS!!! What could go wrong?

More info here!

Id sure like to go, It'd be a fun roadtrip from Portland, OR.
Still up in the air about it.

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

Well make sure to hit me up if you do!

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

BUMP! Anyone else?

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

Running in a BFG Share the Ride event in Knoxville, TN that weekend. Otherwise we'd be there with one of the LS powered cars. This might be the first time in several years we don't run an actual event in Vegas.

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

Well just know that I'll be missing you and Valerie.

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

I'm only an hour away and have thought about it but I'm not sure how it would work if you don't have an LS. I typically shy away from being a participant at events like this, being so big they really command your entire day or weekend depending on what all you're doing. But if being a car show participant gets me good parking and I can leave whenever.... maybe.

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

Without a LS or current gen LT engine in the car, you will be restricted to spectator parking and won't be able to participate in any portions of the event. Even the car show part is restricted to LS/LT powered vehicles.

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

Yep ^^^ Sorry. But you can come up and hang out

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

No can make. The 5th is a points race date at Bandimere.

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

Well that is great new for me and everyone else in Vegas... We don't want to be rained out!!!! :lmao::thanks:

Would have been fun though

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

might go to watch, im not ls powered. L89 all the way!

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

You tryin' to start sumptin? :gocrazy:

:lol:

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

Sounds tempting. Too bad it lands on huge boxing weekend:eek:

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

:huh: With you, no way! I'm just reminding you that it rains every time you go to the track, so thank you. I can't control the rain, so be mad at that person lol

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

That is what your brother said too... So how much money you got riding on the fight?

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

And unless you're actually fighting, why not watch it in Vegas?

It's a pretty safe bet a few MMA fighters will be there either working some of the vendor booths or more likely driving on the autocross track.

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

BUMP!!!!

Chevy High Performance magazine is hosting a cruise into Las Vegas from the LA area if anyone that is driving wants to roll in with some cool vehicles. Great way to make friends

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

It's next week! If any of you choose to come out, make sure to come say what's up

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

So, the DSE parts are going to be put to the test!
Have any shiny pics to share?

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

Yes sir they will. Feels like a new animal on the street when trying to flex its muscles, so I'm hoping it will be even better on track.

Couple "shiny" pics. Honestly most the DSE parts pics I have are under lock and key til CHP does what they want with them.

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

Very Nice! You must have some pull to even command a teal decal!!!
OK, I understand. Really looking for attachment point pics, linkages, etc - the good stuff. I guess I'll have to wait.
Bet it all, and let 'er ride!

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

I hope all of you that make it out to the event really enjoy yourselves.

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

Yeah sorry. I can't put those pics out yet.

I plan on giving it my all... I'm gonna run the grand champion series with the big boys, so I'm sure I will be a small fish in that pond of power and talent haha. We'll see!

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

You know we will! I'm gambling tires and car parts for my good time, and that is all smiles. I'll report back here when we get back. or check out my IG page for more current updates @badnblk

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

Car Looked great out there!! Good to meet you in person Brandon.

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

any pics? I had military duty, wanted to go badly

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

One from Hot Rod:

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

Great to meet you too! I'm glad we got to talk and meet. So very cool to put faces with names. Hope you had fun!

I got quite a few, and once I get a chance to upload them, I'll post them for sure.

I just saw that! How cool is that!?

Quick summary of my experience... It was awesome! I got to race and hang out with a lot of big name racers in the Pro-touring world. I got to have some great talks with some part manufactures and got some inside knowledge on a couple things. I enjoyed the facility, but not the heat or the awful dust that I could not keep off my car for anything.

My performance... It was good. Not mind blowing, but good. I was able to win the platinum class autocross award where they broke up the 150 Grand Champions and awarded prize not just for the very very fastest time of the event, but for the person closest to 35.0 seconds, 38.0 seconds, and 41.0 seconds. I was just slow enough to fall into the 35 second platinum class, but be the fastest of the platinum class. Total was 52nd out of the sold out grand champion class of 150. I was able to run a 12.56 @ 114.7 on a 100 degree day, losing to Robbie Unser Jr, after making a cash bet with Al Unser Jr that I could beat him. Road course was tough to get a clean run, and I ran the car into the dirt after a clutch hydraulic pedal pressure not allowing me to downshift to corner entry speeds, locked the brakes, upset the balance and looped it into the dirt. But I made a bunch of great friends, and some new industry contacts that will hopefully all lead to better stuff for us third gen lovers as a whole.

Later homies!

And a couple from LatG:
No sidewall for launch!

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

Oh snap! Those are good, and I haven't seen those yet. Nice. Do you have a link to the album?

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

For anyone looking for the official results to check on how well friends, family, etc did (and those individuals didn't tell you already): the autocross and speedstop times are on the live timing link under results. https://www.lsfest.com/west/ You need to know the individuals car number to find them on the live timing lists. Final published results usually have names and car numbers.

Drag race results usually take them a few days/weeks to update for all the drag race classes. These normally only list times for the top competitors and not the entire class.

For the Bowling Green event there is usually a listing of scores for all the Grand Champion competitors posted at some point.

The final updates are usually also listed on Holley's blog website once everything is ready to publish. Historically this takes them a week or more for the Bowling Green event. I expect similar timeframes for the Vegas event.

And next year, the show will get bigger so start making plans early if you want to make it next year.

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

That drag pic was when I was racing Robbie Unser Jr for the default race for a $1 bill haha! Also noticed that Tim was snapping a pic of me around the same time I noticed that we were using a pro tree haha

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th

album is way down at the bottom

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

I hadn't looked at the 3S results as I didn't want to see how far down the line I was haha! ABS or a stack of tires at home would sure help in that competition haha. Jimi says final results should be up Thursday or so, as Tom here already stated.

Got it dude! Thank you very much.

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

There is no magical tire tree for the Rivals but if you watch the delivery dates on Tirerack and buy in bulk you can get away with not having ABS. Besides, several nasty wrecks have happened in the last couple of years with the aftermarket ABS systems.

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

Final LSFest West results are posted at this link.

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

BUMP!!!!

LS FEST WEST 2018 is happening next week may 4th, 5th, 6th!!!! I'm going out again, but this time just to hang with my friends and ride in some fast cars. My car is still down for this event.

If anyone wants to meet from TGO hit me up. Beater79TA I'm excited to finally meet you and Val.

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

You're only allowed to attend TGO functions if you bring your car. You know the rules Brandon. J/K

We're running the FM3 Cars and Cones event this week ending in Raleigh on Friday at GoodGuys, then spending the weekend in Atlanta at Summit Motorama. Then it's back across the country to participate in LSFest West before going back east for MidWest Muscle Car at Putnam Park in Indiana. May will be a busy month with 3 events (Vegas, Terre Haute IN, and Springfield MO).

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

You guys are my autocross hero's! Bring that sparkly helmet, and a jar or two with you, I'm coming for a good time!

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

Those jars are worth their weight in gold on the west coast. The next batch of those to come back will get traded for an engine for the 67 I need to start building.

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

Sweet. Man I need to bring something from CO that has value outside of CO.... HAHAHA

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

That's also legal for recreational use in Nevada so it isn't worth driving out with. They even have delivery services if you don't want to drive to the dispensary to pick it up.

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

Damn you know way more about that **** than I do! HAHA Or know how to have a better time in Vegas than I do lol. Anyway! See you guys Friday. If you run into any troubles from here to there that I can help with, reach out man.

Re: LS Fest WEST - Las Vegas May 5th- 7th
 

It was all over the news in AZ when it passed in Nevada. The delivery services were an interesting find when someone at work wondered if you could have it delivered. Amazing what turns up on Google.
