Interest in major M5 weekend meet in Las Vegas?

[lvegaskiwi]

OK: Who wants to do a multi-state-M5-monster-weekend meet in Las Vegas?

I just got done posting the video clips of the SoCal meet in July, and I can't help but feel like organizing a huge M5 gathering in Las Vegas for M5 owners from CA, AR, UT, and anybody else who wants to join in!
__________

Here's what I'm thinking:

- M3, M5, M6 Meet
- Invite the Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborgini brothers & sisters to attend (turn it into an exotics meet ... kind'a)
- Schedule for late Oct or early Nov 2006 (perfect weather conditions)
- Charge a fee ($300-$500 not including accommodation) to cover weekend expenses (see below)
- Everybody stays at the same Strip-Casino
- Friday night registration
- Saturday morning breakfast/car show (7am - 9am)
- Drive to Redrock National Park (photo session) to Redrock-Casino (lunch) to Las Vegas Speedway (drag racing/timed lap runs) back to Strip-Casino
- Saturday night dinner, special-awards ceremony, and show (book a celebrity to perform e.g. Jerry Seinfeld or similar)
- Go home Sunday morning

Anybody interested! If so, who wants to help organize it?

Well...you know I'll be up for it. After all...I don't have to travel far ;-) As for planning, I don't think I could contribute much but I could help out, and may have a connection or two that could assist in the entertainment booking.

"All BMW" is not a bad idea! The only reason why I suggested it was for the race-time out at the dragstrip (assuming we can secure it on that weekend) ... plus it would make for a great video watching our M5's racing other cars!!!

Count us in. We might be able to lend a hand with arrangements. Think about a road course spring fling for April at either LVMS road course or Pahrump. Rumor has it you can get either track for about $5000/day for club events.
