The Ninth Annual Turbo Diesel Register (TDR) Western Regional Rally, “May Madness,” [MM ’03]
The event will be held on May 7-10, 2003 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Other brands of diesel trucks will be welcome in addition to Cummins powered Dodges. We plan to hold most events at Arizona Charlie’s-East (the host hotel/RV park and location for show-n-shine, seminars, and, and at the Las Vegas Speedway (Dyno Days at Silver State Motorsports, and Friday night drag racing at the Speedway’s strip).
We have set up Dyno Days on Thursday and Friday, the 8th and 9th of May. Vendors are invited to attend the Dyno Days. Here is your chance to test that new [censored] and see just how much horsepower it really gives your Ram at the wheels. Silver State is located at the LV Speedway, I-15 Exit 54, Building Q-Suite 103 (Vendors are welcome). Turn right at bottom of Exit 54 off-ramp, right after Shelby building, go to Bldg. Q.
On Wednesday, we will have a tour of Diesel Dynamics. They are located at 6280 South Valley View, southwest of the Russell Road exit from I-15 (Exit #36). There will also be a tour of J&S Diesel Service, the authorized Bosch injection pump repair facility. The vendors’ “Hall of Gottahavits” will be open, at the parking garage of Arizona Charlie’s—East.
Lake Mead Cruises will give us a group rate of $36 for their two hour (6:30 to 8:30 PM) dinner cruise on Lake Mead, Thursday, May 8. We need a minimum of 25 and a maximum of 75 participants for this event (75 reserves the entire boat), and relatively soon so we don’t get bumped by any other groups. To get this rate, you have to send the funds with your registration. They won’t accept individual payments at the group rate.
On Saturday, we will hold a Best Dressed Truck contest, have vendors in a Hall-of-the-Gottahavits, and hold technical seminars on popular issues such as power, maintenance, drivetrain upgrades, etc. in the new meeting room at the hotel. Several vendors have also volunteered for these 20-minute seminars. The seminars will be technical; significant product features and advances will be presented.
Plan and conduct your own "tours" of Vegas Valley attractions! Each tour might include one or more local attractions such as Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, Mount Charleston, Caesar’s or Fashion Show shopping mall, Southern Nevada historical museum, Liberace museum, Ethel M candy factory, Hoover Dam, Pahrump winery, etc. Some of these tours will require admission fees, to be paid by the participants. Each participant will pay for individual dyno runs, boat cruise/dinner, entrance fee at the drag strip, fees for museums, etc. That way you pay for what you want to attend, not for what you don't want.
Arizona Charlie’s—East is the host hotel and RV park. They have about 300 rooms and 200 RV spaces. Register with them early. Not only may other “turboheads” beat you to the rooms/spaces, but other groups may make reservations, unrelated to May Madness. Just as for the river cruise, we don’t have unlimited credit to guarantee reservations for blocks of rooms and spaces. Other hotels and RV parks are close by, on Boulder Highway, if you register late, but you can expect to be somewhat inconvenienced, and may have to pay more.
Call our official hotel/RV park, Arizona Charlie’s-East, 4575 S. Boulder Hwy., Las Vegas, NV for reservations. To get the group HOTEL or RV space low rates, specify MAY MADNESS when you call.
Call 702-951-5900 or 800-362-4040 for the hotel. Rates are $38.15 including tax for weekdays, $49.05 for Friday and Saturday nights, including tax, per night.
For an RV space, $18.53 including tax per night, call 702-951-5911 or 800-970-7280.
It is VERY IMPORTANT to register for May Madness 2003 early so we can plan better. On the registration form you will note there is a “reward” for early registration!

Well May Madness is less than a week away, and it would be great to have a bunch of Fords show up. I will be there for sure, and Dale from Tymar, and Casey C. to name a few. It would be nice to get an idea of who plans to attend so speak up. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]

down your way, but didn't get my pump work done and didn't get the axles swapped in time, so it looks like I will have to pass this time.
Maybe next year........
