Vegas Group Drive Death Valley (Pics!)

[VegasMSP]

Well we had a Vegas group drive to Death Valley with many different kinds of cars. We had 26 cars show up ranging from 2 RX-8s, 2 MSPs, 2 STIs, 2 Evos, 6 WRXs, 1 2.5RS,1 VW R32, 2 Jettas, 2 1.8ts, 2 MR2s and 1 civic. Thats all I can think of off the top of my head . Here's some pics.

Our first gas stop outside DV in a town called Shoshone. Looks like a used car lot.

Now a rest stop at badwater in DV (lowest point in the US 282ft below sea level). Cooling ye ole motor down.

Another shot of my car at Badwater with the rest of the crew in the
background.

Here we are stopped at Artist Drive, really tight turns (on the map it says Vehicles longer 25ft not allowed).

Road up to Dantes View!

Here's the seen on top of Dantes View.

Actually pic of Dantes View (5,475 ft)

TheJohnny's car between a couple WRX's. We showed them!

And the scene heading home!

All in all we all made it back ok, except for tons of rock chips and 5 cracked windshields. We were moving down those roads in which I'm not willing to disclose.
Enjoy!
Also Sytrix has his pics. http://www.vegasgroupdrive.com/mig/index.php?pageType=folder&currDir=./Vegas_Group_Drive_2

At furnace creek (visitors center) it was 90 degrees when we stopped there!

Hey Togan! It wasn't a Mazda meet. It was more like a get together of Vegas people with nice performance cars (none were ricey). Most of the people were autocross drivers . It was fun.

That's funny..... without the support of the other clubs, there would be no events like this.

Mazda made up a very small part of the run, and it was mostly friends on the Mazda side of things anyway.

I got my film from somebody that bought from a member on the forums named slamdp5. Just pm him to see where he got it from.

The car count was 29, not 26.

Well I was guesstimating .

Haha yeah it wasn't too bad. It was Nascar weekend at the Vegas speedway so the roads were pretty bare. Man we could use the swimming pools for our tires, since it gets 140 degrees on the road here.

I agree.
That would be sweet. Those roads look awesome!
