Are you guys going to put together a team to run the new Ragnar relay in Las Vegas?

In the Valley of the Sun - Queen Creek, AZ.  About 30 miles SE of Phoenix.

Hey Burt;

We moved from Goodyear to Mesquite in Dec 08, so most of my running buddies are from Phoenix.
- I just came back for Zane Grey

Here's another relay I just heard about:  http://redrockrelay.com/

That looks intriguing.  Any idea on the cost?

12 Person Team =$999.00
6 Person Team =$649.00

Looks like someone has seen how popular Ragnar is and wants to see if they can make some money doing the same thing.  (Obviously Ragnar did not make the first relay race, but it's very popular in Utah.)  If it does well, maybe Ragnar should buy the race from them.  It looks like it would be very scenic (except in the night), and there's almost a 10,000 foot elevation drop.  I wouldn't mind doing it, but these relay races can get expensive.
