6PM - BBQ DINNER Ellis Island has one of the best BBQ restaurants in all of Vegas, so we might as well try it out. They will seat us in the outside patio and offer up some cheap, great BBQ food and super cheap $1 beer. The casino is going out of their way for us, so please expect it to take a little extra time to get everyone served. Also, bring cash to easily settle your bill as one table of 4 - 6 people. 30% gratuity will be added to each table's bill, but 30% cheap, is still cheap.
8PM - ED'S HOUSE PARTY
Heat Seized Ed will be having people over again for drinks and music. He has a very nice house with outdoor seating, a hot tub and his unique scooter garage. A great place to relax and talk with other scooterists. Remember Ed is a caterer too, but no promises.

11AM - RED ROCK CANYON RIDE
We decided to do this great ride on Friday so we can have more time to enjoy the windy roads and stop for a beer a long the way. This canyon ride is one of the few places in the Vegas area where the roads are not straight and boring. For those who have not been on this ride, it is a must. Ride will leave from back parking lot of Super 8 Hotel. Once there we will stop for a beer at a nearby pub. Plan to be back by 4pm.
4PM - SCOOTER HAPPY HOUR

Time to put your money or where mouth is and show us how fast your scooter really is. This will be the first competition for the weekend and a great way to start. We will be legally racing at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway during its Midnight Madness Event. Everyone is welcome to participate or be a spectator. Seriously, how often do you get to see scooters drag race? We hope to have head to head scooter heats, but if not, come see a scooter beat a car in a timed ¼ mile race.

On the way back from the drag race, stop in to Jillian's in Old Downtown where we will be shooting pool and bowling.

Cost per game applies. Whether you are competing or not, come hang out with everyone here. Also wander around Old Downtown and see the many spectacles it has to offer. Jillian's is located at 450 Fremont St. Rules for the bowling and pool will be in the competition section of the website.
3AM - KARAOKE!!!
So you think you can sing? How about drunk at 3AM? Unfortunately EVERYONE drunk at 3AM thinks they can belt it out like old blue eyes. So come down to the Lounge at Ellis Island casino and join in on the Karaoke competition. Like all the events, each person must be pre-registered for the rally to compete, otherwise plan to only watch. Rules for the Kareoke will be in the competition section of the website.
