IIC Returns - October 2-7, 2016
 

"I am proud to announce the RETURN OF THE INTERNATIONAL INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS.

It has been a long and difficult road but hard work pays off and we are BACK! Oct 2-8 2016 at the WESTGATE HOTEL AND CASINO.

The WESTGATE is located just behind the Riviera and was the Hilton in its previous life. It is an beautiful hotel and casino with tons of shops, restaurants and stuff to do and located directly on the Monorail.

The place is very lively. An awesome casino with 2 bars right in the casino, many restaurants, a coffee shop right in the lobby and the hotel rooms are very nice.

We have 2 levels of hotel rooms. The Premier rooms and the Signature rooms. Both levels are fully remodeled and both come with a small refrigerator. Reservations can be made for rooms at 1-800-635-7711 and the room code is SIIC6R. For those of you that will be bringing the family to the IIC, the Pool is awesome! Very large and spacious with cabanas, lots of lounge chairs and a grill and bar right there.

A very convenient way to get up and down the strip is the Monorail, which runs from the Westgate all the way to the MGM Grand and it is awesome. It loads right outside the front doors of the Westgate and takes you all the way down the strip in 15 minutes for $5. Way better than a taxi. I took a ride and it is great. It makes stops along the way to get you close to any spot you would like on the strip.

DEADLINE FOR OUR GROUP RATE IS SEPTEMBER 10TH. DON'T WAIT TO BOOK YOUR ROOMS AS OUR BLOCK WILL FILL UP FAST.
The hotel booking code will not be active until next week and I will post that as soon as it is live. But for now you can start looking into flights and make plans to join us in Las Vegas for the 11th running of the International Indoor Championships.

For this years race, we have had to make a few adjustments to the schedule. What this means is that the finals will be run on Friday instead of Saturday. So that means we have to shift everything to the left by one day.

Here is how this years schedule will work:
Sunday October 2: Registration and Pit setup Noon-5pm. Drivers meeting Buffett Dinner 6pm
Monday October 3: Practice
Tuesday October 4: Practice
Wednesday October 5: Qualifying
Thursday October 6: Qualifying
Friday October 7: Mains

You can now book your rooms online. In addition, you can choose from more than room style if available. To book your room online copy and paste; https://resweb.passkey.com/go/SIIC6R into your favorite browser or click here.

And seeing that I live in Reno (Biggest Little City) these days, I should be able to survive a week in Vegas (Sin City). :)

Hoping for a traditional WGT class; but, will understand if WGT-R is the new standard.

Bill

I'm going with proper a 235mm foam tire pan car class :D

+ YouTube Video

I'm in. Now if I can just find my on road stuff.

If there is going to be a 235mm class, what's the rules?

I would really like watch this class.

Hope the 235mm is blinky 10.5 2s

That's what we are working on :sneaky:

Thinking easily 2 heats of AWESOME ;)

I would consider coming just for that!

IIC is a bucket list race regardless !

If that's true that's the same week as the off road nitro 1/8th scale world in Vegas.

Is that what you were running in the video? That's looks awesome ...
Details please ???

Yes its the same week. Wont affect IIC any. No 8th scale racers attend IIC anyway.

EA

This might just have to be the first big race I travel to. Hoping 235mm works out along with F1

Not sure if I'm going to be able to make it :( Haven't touched an on-road car in over a year and only recently started driving off-road again. So I'd likely be a menace on the track.

This will be my first IIC. I've heard so many great things about it. I'm looking forward to it!

this will be the 3rd IIC for me. I am going alone. Does anyone want to split the cost of a room?

Rich

You will not regret it! It is the most fun race on the planet!!!

You got plenty of time to get in the groove! Lets go!!!!

EA

Oh wasn't trying to say it was a bad thing.

Was just saying if you wanted to go watch one or the other you could see both. Lol

What happens in Vegas....:eek:

Yeah but no where to get into the groove at. Still no track out here :(

I'm so happy there will be a race this year. I was bummed that we didn't have one last year. Good times!!!!

Burt,

Same in Reno...Totally off-road scene here for obvious reasons.

I might as well be in Hawaii with you...LOL

Bill

The groove is in you.:nod: Let's go racing.:D

We'll see...I'll need to find another source of funding to be able to make it. New car payments pretty much eat up the former travel money.

Refinance:lol:

I feel your pain, I bought a new car last July.

And don't forget there's a permanent carpet track in vegas already too.

With the wrong rug". 702 needs the new carpet

IIC Newb Questions
 

I am hoping to make it to Vegas this Oct. for my first IIC.
My questions are --What has the schedule been in the past? When does practice actually start? What day are the mains run?

Thanks

In the past it has gone like this,
Monday: pit setup and check-in
Tuesday: controlled practice and driver social
Wednesday: controlled practice
Thursday and Friday: qualifying
Saturday: Mains

Things might be a little different this year but nothing is set in stone as of yet other than the dates posted. :)

I was just hoping to get an idea of the schedule. I'm hoping to make this a road trip and was looking at drive time/logistics. :tire:

Add the driver's meeting to Monday's activities.

I'm hoping its scheduled in a way I could still go watch the mains at the 8th scale ifmar worlds for nitro off-road race

Understood. I didn't want you to think what was in the past would apply to this years but it would be very close to it.

We are trying to see if we can make that work but it is a work in progress.

Kraig- I'm so happy to see your lovely user image. Thanks for posting!

i'd also like to state that i also think you are aa "super" moderator.

They run offroad carpet as well so went with lowes carpet. Still pretty damn sticky for onroad with some SXT and has held up surprisingly well. I think most would be surprised for those that come into Vegas early for some warm up.

If you are looking for a place to stay in Las Vegas that won't break the bank. - Stay at Silver Sevens Casino & Hotel that is near the strip. At $55 per night during that week you can't beat it!
