DMC - AMVIV 6 - Las Vegas - March 26 - 29, 2009

Discuss upcoming and old DMC events

Latest update from Agro... Palace Station is NOT increasing the room rate on Jan 25th as originally contracted, the lower rate will be maintained through mid-February!

It's true. With the economy in the state it's in, and everyone worried
about their wallets, we have convinced Palace Station to keep the
group rate at $79 per night and $119 per night for the Courtyard and
Tower rooms respectively, until the rate ends in mid-February! We're
looking out for you!

Registered cars are now up to 139, and we have 12 vendors who have put
their money down for space at the Boot N Bonnet show so far, so it's
looking to be a bigger and better event than ever.

Phil Wicks has listened to the masses and changed his format to run
timed SOLO 1 autocross racing rather than wheel-to-wheel in
conjunction with his famous driving academy out at the Spring Mountain
Motorsports Ranch, which is a fantastic track. Go to
www.minidriving.com for all the details.

The t-shirt, hat and grille badge designs have been finalized and the
winner of the contest this year was Craig B (you may know him better
as COOPERation on the forums) who, in a close vote, beat out several
other amazing and artistic entries.
I'm putting the images on the website in the next day or so, so you
can see how cool the shirts you're rushing to buy will be.

I guess that's all for now,
see you in March.

As time gets nearer, you will see posts for Wednesday/Thursday/other groups. Keep an eye on the board and just post your name. :)

I have decided I'm going. (Still need to register)

Does anyone need a room mate for the weekend. Just don't have the funds this year to cover the hotel by my self. I would be glad to split the cost of a garden room :D
Still driving a Mini. No matter the cost.

AMVIV Radio Questions!! :?:

I have not seen any communications (no pun intended) on radios for this year. There was a thread for last years AMVIV that had Nate organizing some loaners.

http://www.dynamicminicollective.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4356

Since this will be our first AMVIV I was looking to upgrade my FRS radios to something a bit more substantional and have a headset for my use.

What options might be available for us this year? Are the channels going to be the same?

Thanks.

We always use Channel 7, subchannel 21, unless otherwise noted. Nate does occasionally get deals on his radios that he can custom program to that standard channel, and then I believe he did some to 8/21 last year, as an alternate channel to use, since we had so many in Vegas using 7/21.

I'd drop JCWORKS a PM and see if he can still work ya a deal :) Those that have bought his radios have been real happy with them. Longer range and clearer for sure.
