NASCAR Cafe To Sell Items Starting Thursday

Interested in buying Dale Earnhardt Sr. race car for $10,000? Pictures for $25. Drivers suits and other items found in the NASCAR Cafe that used to be in the old Sahara Hotel and Casino.
From The LVRJ: If you love watching good ol' boys drive in circles for hours on end, then we've got a deal for you.
When the 60-year-old Sahara crossed the finish line in May and closed its doors for good, it took with it the NASCAR Cafe and Cyber Speedway, a two-story restaurant loaded with official National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing memorabilia, including cars, uniforms and equipment such as gas cans and flag stands.
Starting Thursday at 10 a.m., the cafe's mementoes, furniture and fixtures go on the market in a liquidation sale in the restaurant.
"There are a lot of people who had a lot of loyalty to the NASCAR Cafe," said Don Hayes, president of National Content Liquidators, the Ohio company handling the sale. "They've been waiting for this."
For as little as $25, NASCAR nuts can snap up drivers' pictures that graced the cafe's walls. For NASCAR aficionados with extra cash, Carzilla, a Dale Earnhardt Sr.-designed Pontiac Grand Prix stock car, will be available for $10,000. In between the pricing extremes are about 2,000 other items, including drivers' jumpsuits, bar stools, neon signs and restaurant tables featuring maps of famous racetracks across the country.
Even the urinals, bathroom partitions and kitchen sink must go, though Hayes is guessing restaurant operators and other hospitality professionals, rather than Earnhardt fans, will pick up those items (unless the urinals have pictures of Earnhardt rival Bill Elliott in the bottom of them).

If you are in Vegas on Thursday or this weekend, stop by the shuttered Sahara and take a look around, I know I will.
this is not an auction, so first come, first serve.
Too bad they are not selling any B3 Burrito 6 pound burrito during the sale.
