Re: 1st Annual PackardInfo.com River Fun Run - Laughlin, NV
Posted by Jim On 2011/10/28 8:12:22
Hi Everyone, sorry to have not posted updates in a while, been busy putting the final touches on the '40. Pictured below was a late night highway run after replacing front outer wheel bearings, front wheel cylinder, and mounting and balancing a set of 7.00 X 16 Firestone tires. As we were whisking down the highway I thought of a few things to share about our Packard Info. weekend.
Some exciting news from the Riverside Hotel is Packard Info. getting billing on the marquee. The Riverside has a great marquee that will really showcase our gathering. Along with that is our designated space for our Packard parking is directly under the marquee, roped off and for our use only. I have attached images from another event there that I attend annually to give everyone a sense of the accommodations. Lastly, I've attached an image of the road to Oatman. There are wild donkeys that roam around and many interesting sites once in the historic town.
Also very noteworthy, we will have a Don Laughlin award for Mr. Laughlin's favorite Packard Pick. For those that don't know, Mr. Laughlin founded the town, the Riverside Hotel, and is an avid antique car collector. He has a car museum on site at the hotel everyone can visit free of charge.
Other onsite activities to keep in mind if bringing the family is a bowling ally, movie theater, and video arcade. There are also numerous other area attractions, including the Colorado River running directly behind the hotel.
If you haven't already signed up, but are interested, please join us we would love to get as many folks together as possible. This should be a fun event that gives folks a chance to meet up, talk cars, and enjoy a relaxing weekend.
Please also keep in mind we will have a parts exchange in conjunction with the car display Saturday morning.
Just a few weeks away!
