TSCO "Vegas to Reno" The Long Way !!! Updates

We will be out of the office on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday; we are on our "pit book" writing trip.  We will not be in the office to answer calls or emails.  We will be back in the office on Wed, July 1st.  So save your question until Wed!  Wish me luck, it's grueling!

Storm-OV, is a non-profit organization run by David Spicer. David is a rancher and a miner near the Beatty, NV area. In fact, he allowed us to start on his property last year for the TSCO "Vegas to Reno" race. He has worked diligentely with the BLM and Casey to find an alternative route around the Beatty area, to avoid the Amaragosa Toad. There is a detailed letter explaining Storm-OV and the work he is doing to keep our public lands open for recreation, please click on the TSCO "Vegas to Reno" file and download the "Storm-OV - Keep our lands open letter" and help David if you can, this is a worthwhile organization and we owe a great deal to David and his support of our TSCO "Vegas to Reno" route!

New note - at the end of Day # 1 and Day # 2 there is a mandatory race vehicle impound. Your race vehicle will go into an impound area when you leave the work area. We recommend that you bring a vehicle cover, motorcycles bring a kick stand or a box. This area will be secured with security!

Las Vegas residents - we are looking for a few RV's/Motorhomes to rent for our staff for the week of August 19-23. If any of you have friends that would like to rent out a few RV's please call us at 702-457-5775. Thanks!

The Time Trials for Class 1400 & 1500 will be on Tuesday afternoon (August 18) at an undisclosed area near the Las Vegas area.

Please stay at all of our Host Hotels, please support those businesses that support us. So book your reservations at the Sunset Station in Henderson, call 888-786-7389. A very helpful document is the Hotel List and Day by Day Schedule, that will help you when you get confused as to be where to be on what day! Just keep heading North, you'll find us there somewhere :) All of our Final Information will be out July 30th, that is the date for draw for start positions, that's the date to get your name in the program, and that's when we will send out the pit books, schedules and rules!
