Yeah there is

Battery is secure
No hubcaps that will fly off
Things like that.

I don't know how it is in Vegas but at pomona you also had to have closed toe shoes (no flip flops) and long pants.

Attention Shoppers!!!! Just got off the phone with Urban racing. Their statement in regards to rain was "The Scion portion of the show will go on, No drag race if raining, and pants are required to drag race, helmet is required if you are faster then a 13.9 in the 1/4 mile." and we will be running a 1/4 mile strip not an 1/8 like it was at pomona and irwindale. Hope this helps. Make sure you have a pair of sweatpants to slip on if you are going to drag race.

I can't begin to tell how many times we almost got killed on the way home I ended up in bed around 7:30am, but left for the show 26hrs before....

Man that was def. an interesting show. Good to meet new people and get to photograph some cars other than Scions and go go's Next time I will have a cheap hotel room to go to after though. Glad to see the winners! Esp. the Best in show was amazing! I was glad to see that kind of recondition to quality over quantity.

I had such a great time at this event. It was really nice meeting Mr. Meaty and AEN, you guys are really chill

Its too bad we didn't have a chance to get more runs in, I'm sure it would have made for a very tight competition.

Mr. Meaty had some Sick top end, but I Barley edged him out with a 15.283

As soon as I got closer to home, I could instantly feel the power in my car come back. 15's for turbo Tc's just isn't right hahah
