"MINT 400"
    #10056993 - 03/27/09 09:15 PM (14 years, 11 months ago)

This was a classic off-road race held in the deserts around Las Vegas from the late 60s to the late 80s.  It is the race being covered by Hunter S. Thompson in the movie 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'.  When I was young we would always go watch the race.  It last ran in 1988.

Now, 21 years later, the MINT 400 has been revived.  Tomorrow the desert will once again come alive.  At 7AM the first racers will blast off across the desert in hopes of taking home a trophy.  My bro and I are gonna go out and watch it.  Should be good times!
Heres some info on the race.

Now, if only I had some adrenachrome I'd be set. :smirk:
