Re: 2nd Annual Packard V-8 Club Meeting

A regional meet sounds like a great idea to me too. Now, all we need is some volunteers to help out/give ideas on locations, and we'll be set. I'm willing to take on the Central Division of PV8C. It might not be a bad idea to plan a "Nationals Meet" every year, at different locations every year, to make it so everyone can say they've been to a Nationals. Always remember, Packard V8 Club meets are about the cars and the engineering that goes into them, along with a few beers and some BS stories about Packards, women, fishing, etc. We strive to give the Meet a "welcome buddy, have a beer" feel to it, instead of judging your car, being bored just sitting by your car all day, charging $5.00 for a hotdog, etc. Think "car buddy backyard BBQ", and you've hit the nail on the head. I also think that this may expand into a "Postwar Packard Club" sometime down the road, now that it's really taking off. It's fine by me if that's what happens. I like those old straight eights too, ya know! ;)

One thing I can say about my experience with the first "National PV8C Meet" was that it was a heck of a lot of fun, Craig is an excellent host, and both Craig and Kevin G. know how to BBQ!
