An executive with the SpeedVegas race track south of Las Vegas says the attraction, the scene of a fiery Lamborghini Aventador crash Sunday afternoon, will reopen next week.
Gil Ben-Kely’s personality was too big to be contained inside the wooden casket in which his body was buried on Wednesday, his son said.
A recently acquired Lamborghini Aventador was the vehicle involved in the Sunday crash that killed two people at SpeedVegas, raising new questions about whether the vehicle capable of reaching speeds of 200 mph was ready for the track.
The SpeedVegas instructor who died in a crash Sunday was Gil Ben-Kely, a two-time breast cancer survivor and immigrant to the United States.
On most days, the race track at SpeedVegas, the tourist attraction south of Las Vegas that has drawn thousands of customers to drive high-powered exotic cars, is humming with pricey vehicles that can hit 200 mph. But on Monday, the track was silent.
Two men died after a car crash and fire Sunday at the SpeedVegas racetrack, 14200 Las Vegas Blvd. South.
A new 22,000-square-foot hospitality center at SpeedVegas, a racetrack experience south of Las Vegas, will open its doors to the public in August.
The Rolls-Royce Black Badge Wraith makes its official global drive debut to a select group of media, VIPs and executives from around the world on Sunday. The group will be hosted by Encore and Wynn Las Vegas, which also boasts the largest fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantoms in North America, and SpeedVegas, the new supercar track experience. The debut will take place at SpeedVegas, the award-winning $30 million motorsports complex, where the Black Badge Wraith will be driven on its Formula One-inspired 1.5 mile track.
Exotic supercars from Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Audi and Corvette are on the track, and everyday Joes and Josephines are at the wheel.
To help break in its new track, SPEEDVEGAS is giving guests the chance to put the pedal to the metal and take a drive — or ride along — at the new attraction on Friday, April 15.
