SST hit's the Jackpot in Vegas!

Cool stuff! This is from the email blast!

Charlotte, N.C. (October 18, 2013) – Caesars Palace Las Vegas has hosted some of the greatest entertainment acts in the world – from Evel Knievel, to Frank Sinatra and Celine Dion, to the Formula One World Championship events in 1981 and 1982. On Thursday, November 7, 2013, taking part simultaneously with the automotive industry’s premier trade show, SEMA, Las Vegas history will once again be made as the SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks™ event (SST) makes its way to Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip.

The race track for this special one-day only event will be constructed in front of Caesars Palace. High-flying SST trucks will propel past The Colosseum and through the Caesars Palace marquee. Fans will be thoroughly entertained as the high horse-powered SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks battle door-to-door, drifting around the seven-turn asphalt racecourse and flying over specially constructed metal ramps.

This event is open to the public. Tickets can purchased onsite at Caesars Palace or in advance at http://www.stadiumsupertrucks.com.

An event at Caesars has long been a vision of series President, Robby Gordon. The unique form of racing that SST offers was immensely popular more than 20 years ago – known then as the Mickey Thompson Off-Road Championship – and fittingly Gordon, one of the world’s greatest off-road racers, has brought it back to life.

“Bringing SST to Caesars during SEMA Show week, the world’s most premier automotive specialty products trade event,is something unheard of,” said Gordon. “We would like to thank everyone at Caesars Palace and The Forum Shops at Caesars for giving us the opportunity to present a race like this. Getting to race SST trucks on this property is something phenomenal.”

“Through the years Caesars Palace has always set the standard and continually raised the bar on the Las Vegas Strip,” said Caesars Palace Regional President Gary Selesner. “An event like this is special because it pays homage to the historical attention-grabbing events that Caesars Palace is known for – like Evel Knievel and the Formula One races, yet also brings forth a new element of exciting entertainment for our guests. We are thrilled to welcome SST with this monumental event and encourage locals and race fans alike to join in on the action.”

In addition to the SST lineup, USA Pro SuperMoto and Modified Trophy Karts will be competing with a full program of qualifying and main events.

On the day of the event, access to the valet at The Forum Shops will be limited.

I understand.Back in the King Dome days, MTEG and SuperCross came to town at the end of winter.It would be raining like a MF and the was dry and warm in the dome.
Now we have open stadiums (Safeco is not an option)and that means only after July 5th if you want a dry outdoor date. I sent pictures of Evergreen Speedway to someone(memory failing me who) but the place only holds 10k.

WOW !!!!! Robby just went on RDC and called out 1 of the jerks that was bad mouthing him . Yet another reason I love Robby so much . He takes no shit from anyone . I doubted very much everything the person was saying in the 1st place but Robby defending himself ( although we all know he shouldn't have to ) just proves that person was full of shit . Thank you Robby for being the stand up guy we know you are .

please contact me directly if you want to have a conversation but hiding behind a keyboard and call in me out isn't cool and all because i didn't hold a door open for you, Wow sorry maybe i was a little WFO trying to pull this EPIC Event off.

And 30 people in the stand is BS and you know it too, Pictures will follow shortly as this event was a huge success and take Off Road to new markets

For Everyone that came to the Event Thank You and hope you enjoyed it. Thank God we have time to fix all the carnage 30 laps was wild.

I posted it because the starting complaint seemed to be the holding of a door.I'm with Robby,damn if that's the make or break for someone's support, well it starts with F and ends with off.
I know folks that went over after SEMA and enjoy'd the show.

That head-on shot of RG at full compression in the parking lot looks like an old Big Dave Deal cartoon from the day! RIP Big Dave. He did the Jackman Wheels and Centerline Wheels print ads. Sorry for the derail, but that picture brought these memories back.http://www.bigdealart.com/index.cfm?Cat=9
