Alex Roy’s Team Polizei 144 Blog

Jon9 with an update from the 2007 Players Run:

After arriving first to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway yesterday, we
went to the Wynn, checked in and returned to the Speedway for the
Mario Andretti Indy Experience.  Was truly unique in that we got to
drive a real indy car at speed on a perfectly banked NASCAR oval.
Ashley pushed her instructor to almost 150 MPH in the six laps she
turned and we both agreed that it was  an experience we would not
soon forget.

After a couple of photo shoots, we finally got a chance to ‘relax’
vegas-style.  I went to Tao to meet up with an old friend I haven’t
seen in years.  All I can say about that is dear god.  Ashley went to
posh nightclub Moon for drinks with the all the boys.  Not exactly
sure what time we got back to our room, but I do vaguely remember
being starving, ordering room service and then blacking out only to
be woken up by the poor room service guy pounding on the door.  I
took 2 bites of the turkey burger I ordered and blacked out again.

Day 4: Taking advantage of the Vantage

As I am sure you can imagine, the morning in Vegas is never easy.  We
woke up this morning hurting a bit, but a shower and a couple
Excedrin later, we were back in action and made our way downstairs to
see who else was functional.  At 10AM, every car in the private area
of the garage was still there and not to many players were even
kicking around the hotel, so we decided to have some breakfast.
After all, this is supposed to be a vacation, right?

After breakfast, we met up with Brian and Dustin from Mishief.tv, The
Katzs in the LP and Taxi John Eltringham in the yellow Murcielago and
shoved off for Lambo Vegas.  The place was insane.  Must have $100
million in hardware under the roof of that place, including an MC12,
Veyron, Versace Murcielago, a couple of Spykers, S7 and a Carrera GT and
that was just in the front of the showroom.  We took some pictures
and shoved off.

Shortly after getting on the highway, everybody we were with decided
they were desperately in need of food (since they had not had the
luxo breakfast we did at the Wynn), so we peeled off on our own and
headed south towards LA.  I took us into the Ghost Town checkpoint,
Ashley drew us another King of Diamonds (so we are now working a pair
of kings) and took over driving.

The Aston Assault continued all the way into LA with Ashley employing
some of the Polizei safety techniques we have been working on all
week.  Her pace and effort were strong and we made great time getting
into town, that is of course until we hit the 10.  As usual, it was
pretty much dead, so we turned up the a/c and coasted in with
everybody else.

We arrived at the Mondrian in LA to find an SLR stuck on the kooky
hill-style driveway of the hotel.  The scraping sound when he pulled
out sounded like at least 5 grand.  Ouch.

We are now pool side relaxing with drinks and sunning ourselves.
Gotta love the short leg.
