The "Winter Nationals" at Las Vegas - 2010

The "Winter Nationals" which have been held at
Buffalo Bill's/Stateline for several years moved
this year to downtown Vegas at The Orleans hotel.
They had 219 entries and expect more next year.

Its a whole new skyline without a roller coaster
and the VEGAS STRIP is only a few blocks away.
The temperature  was in the mid 60's making it the warmest "Vegas Race" ever.

Old friends made the trip from LA just to
watch the kids race. Kim Arringdale and
DeeDee Duncan both raced at Firestone.

Ken Rice came over to shake Tony's hand.
He's been to all the Vegas races and there has
been a lot of them - starting at the Hacienda.

TThere were a lot of shows in the hotel and in
the Arena out back. They had rodeo events
and a concert while we were there. Lots of people.

TThe track tower is in a trailer which is towed over.
The blue plastic walls are rented from a Go-Kart
track and also hauled over in a trailer.

There was an orange plastic fence which the handlers stood behind during the race.

The flagman "Tim Boznich" also had a high orange fence which was a target for a lot
of race drivers during the races. The drivers
would hit the blue fence and send the orange
one flying. It hit Tim one time.
