Intro:
  Get ready for the Las Vegas Speed Trials at the annual POCA 
Las Vegas Fun Rally.   Race Day is Friday 4/23, Saturday is the 
Concours and Banquet.

Look for pages of info in the next POCA newsletter (Jan '99), with 
detailed tech requirements, event schedule, and more !

==================================================================
Guests

We have reserved 13 spots for non-POCA participants at this year's event.  
If you have some friends that you think would enjoy taking their car on 
the track, please feel free to invite them.  Some of these slots have 
already been taken, so there is no time to waste.  If you want to bring a
guest, you had better hurry.  As for the guest, it's about time they see 
what a real sports car can do on the track!

Hotel

We recognize that not all participants will be POCA members.  We have
therefore established the "official" Speed Trials hotel.  Buffalo Bill's 
Hotel and Casino (http://www.primadonna.com/buffalobills.html) is located 
30 minutes west of Las Vegas.  Their standard rates are Sun.-Thurs $18, 
Fri $35 and Sat $45. Call 1-800-386-7867 to make a reservation.  We will 
even try and set up an after-event dinner at one of Buffalo Bill's 
restaurants on Friday night.  We can sit around and tell each other how 
fast we were.  If someone is not a POCA member they can still get the
POCA package, and join in all the fun activities of the Rally.  This
hotel is set up to handle the few poor soles that chose not to join in 
on the rest of the fun.

==================================================================
Tech Issues:

In previous announcements I listed several tech suggestions.
That should keep you busy for a tech session or two. More to follow.
