dunefreak Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 This really sucks. The SCORE Terrible's Cup race is always a really good time. I look forward to it every year. It seems as though there weren't enough entries for the race to happen this year. I wonder if the economy is to blame for the lack of entries. Kinda scary when even the racers who have money are cutting back. http://www.scorelasvegas.com/news.php?id=55 Las Vegas Events Announces the Cancellation of the SCORE Las Vegas Cup IV LAS VEGAS - Las Vegas Events announced today that July's scheduled SCORE Las Vegas Cup IV has been cancelled. The event was scheduled to be held July 18-19 at the Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. "The SCORE Las Vegas Cup has been an important summer event for Las Vegas Events," said Pat Christenson, president of Las Vegas Events. "Unfortunately, we could not deliver a race experience this year that SCORE fans have become accustomed to and expect. In the future, we will continue to support SCORE desert racing." "It is very disappointing for SCORE to see this exciting event be cancelled, but circumstances beyond our control significantly dictated the outcome," said Sal Fish, SCORE President/CEO. "We want to thank Las Vegas Events for their commitment and support, as well as those racers who had signed up and were ready to participate. Unfortunately, there were not enough entries." Las Vegas Events will give full refunds to fans who purchased tickets for the event. Fans can call 866-388-FANS for more information. The SCORE Laughlin Desert Challenge, held each January, and September's SCORE Las Vegas Primm 300 are also both sponsored by Las Vegas Events and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. Founded in 1981, Las Vegas Events, Inc. is a private, not-for-profit organization that serves as the exclusive special events agency for the city. SCORE International, based in Los Angeles and founded in 1973, is the world's leading desert racing organization. SCORE produces the annual SCORE Desert Series, which includes three races in Baja Mexico and three in Southern Nevada. Next up for the 2008 SCORE Desert Series will be the 13th Annual SCORE Terrible's Primm 300 desert race, to be held September 5-6 in Primm, Nevada.

FNOFFROAD Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 WTF!!! We have gone every year! I love going, even most of the desert races have been moved to Primm, which sucks when they were right out at the dry lake bed 10min away which was very cool and close!
