Peter: You know Nancy. She is one of the "Guys".

What she sees or hears in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Will order the Corral tickets soon.

If Nancy is good with all of that then she should definitely join in. You absolutely need to get the Corral tickets. That's where all the fun is.

Glad you can join us this year.

That sounds a lot like a "Guys Weekend" to me.

I have always picked up everyones tickets the week before the race and passed them out at the hotel. Saves alot of time when you get to thee track. If you want, call Bobbi at the track and she will put the passes into the folder with the other guys. Don't believe they ship out of the country.

Corral is on the front straight at the bridge that leads to the infield.

Thanks Dave for the info.

As I mentioned in the past. Nancy will be coming with me so we will not see you at the hotel.
Still looking for 1 room for us hopefully near the track.

"Your tickets will be in Will Call due to not being able to ship out of the country. Your tickets will be at will call, at gate 2. Our gate opens at 7 a.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, August 3 – 5, 2012. Thank you."
