2019 Robby Gordon Headquarters
SST hit's the Jackpot in Vegas!
Cool stuff! This is from the email blast!
Charlotte, N.C. (October 18, 2013) – Caesars Palace Las Vegas has hosted some of the greatest entertainment acts in the world – from Evel Knievel, to Frank Sinatra and Celine Dion, to the Formula One World Championship events in 1981 and 1982. On Thursday, November 7, 2013, taking part simultaneously with the automotive industry’s premier trade show, SEMA, Las Vegas history will once again be made as the SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks™ event (SST) makes its way to Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip.
The race track for this special one-day only event will be constructed in front of Caesars Palace. High-flying SST trucks will propel past The Colosseum and through the Caesars Palace marquee. Fans will be thoroughly entertained as the high horse-powered SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks battle door-to-door, drifting around the seven-turn asphalt racecourse and flying over specially constructed metal ramps.
This event is open to the public. Tickets can purchased onsite at Caesars Palace or in advance at http://www.stadiumsupertrucks.com.
An event at Caesars has long been a vision of series President, Robby Gordon. The unique form of racing that SST offers was immensely popular more than 20 years ago – known then as the Mickey Thompson Off-Road Championship – and fittingly Gordon, one of the world’s greatest off-road racers, has brought it back to life.
“Bringing SST to Caesars during SEMA Show week, the world’s most premier automotive specialty products trade event,is something unheard of,” said Gordon. “We would like to thank everyone at Caesars Palace and The Forum Shops at Caesars for giving us the opportunity to present a race like this. Getting to race SST trucks on this property is something phenomenal.”
“Through the years Caesars Palace has always set the standard and continually raised the bar on the Las Vegas Strip,” said Caesars Palace Regional President Gary Selesner. “An event like this is special because it pays homage to the historical attention-grabbing events that Caesars Palace is known for – like Evel Knievel and the Formula One races, yet also brings forth a new element of exciting entertainment for our guests. We are thrilled to welcome SST with this monumental event and encourage locals and race fans alike to join in on the action.”
In addition to the SST lineup, USA Pro SuperMoto and Modified Trophy Karts will be competing with a full program of qualifying and main events.

Thank's for posting the Big Deal link up for a reference for those who may be too young or too brain addled to remember. The Meyer's Manx, Jackman Wheels and Rainbow Sandals work he did are a fond memory for me.

Dave "Big" Deal was a good friend of mine and he taught me how to fly. I don't remember him doing anything for Rainbow Sandals, but he did tons of art for Rainbow Wallets. He had a studio inside one of the Rainbow Wallets buildings because he was there so much. It also worked out great as we were at the Oceanside Airport. Dave kept his planes at both Fallbrook and Oceanside. My plane was also at Oceanside. We could walk out the door at Rainbow and be in the air a few minutes later.
Over the years I have noticed many people on off road forums thinking that Rainbow Sandals and Rainbow Wallets were the same company. The sandals were and still are made by Sparky Longley in San Clemente. Sparky was also a friend and he too kept his plane at Oceanside. Rainbow Wallets was started by myself and a partner. We sold out in the early 1980's. That company is also still I business and doing very well. Rainbow Wallets sponsored quite a few race cars in addition to mine. We sponsored Malcolm Smith in 1979 and 1980.
