Nevada, Las Vegas - Friday, October 31, 2014 - Dinner with John Force and Castrol

Our intention was to call a cab to take us into the Monte Carlo hotel where dinner would be this evening.  Nevada is a state that requires you to wear a helmet and I kind of wanted to avoid “helmet head” since this was going to be a nice evening out.  We found out that Las Vegas considers Halloween an official holiday and cabs were only going to be working downtown, not out where we are.  Our other option was taking the bus – not going to happen, we’ve seen some of the people sitting at the bus stops.  So, we were back to having to take the bike.  I curled my hair on the hot rollers then pinned the resulting curls with bobby pins and covered the whole thing with a silk scarf under my helmet and brushed it out in the parking garage of the hotel, it actually didn’t look too bad.

We had some time to kill before dinner so we played penny slots and ended up $30 ahead for the time we played.  I do have to say that if you haven’t experienced Halloween in Las Vegas you really haven’t experienced Halloween.  There will be no pictures posted but everyone seemed to be having a really good time.

Those of you who know John Force know that he is in constant motion so getting pictures was a bit of a struggle.  I did catch a couple as he was signing cars for tonight’s giveaway.  Greg and his friend Pete from Castrol were helping set out the cars so they could be signed.  And, if it wasn't John moving it was Greg.

 

 

 

 Other Force drivers, Robert Hight and Courtney Force were also signing cars.

 

 

The dinner was sponsored by Castrol with about 60 invited guests.  John had a good time with the raffle.

 

 

All of the guests ended up with lots of goodies to bring home.  Now we just have to figure out where to put it.
