dat620 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 DUDE DO YOU KNOW HOW AWESOME THAT WOULD BE,if anyone can pull this off , i know bob can, but as he said it would take everyone's help, to maintain, and clean up, that would be sweet, the last "spring splash" that we did "JUST US" was in 1991, at that time we had close to 25 mini trucks there from all 4 chapters..this would be so awesome...:D:D:D, and just in time for " 70's flashback", can't wait now i'm all fired up:D:D:D Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Tom follow that SS thread. Bob is updating every few days as he gets info. This will be a HUGE event for us all!!! Plus it's not that far of a drive for you & Steroid. For me it's 4-5 hours but i LOVE driving across the desert. Quote Link to comment

dat620 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 bob gave an update, and he is meeting with the city and county this week coming, says to get this far means they have an interest , but as he said it will take everyone's cooperation to get this kicked off and running, so we all need to be on our best behavior, and want to help in all ways needed..this is huge and can be as big and bad as reso was...:D Quote Link to comment

Steroid Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 It's ON ! ! ! ! ! ! Bob's quote from yesterday........... Well boys and Girls I know you all thought the old man was crazy but I met with the La Paz board members today. Yes it's true West Coast Nats is back on September 25th 26th 27th 2009 at La Paz County park on the river where it all started. I will have more updates later tonight when I get home. So pack your beer, boats, jet skis and half naked women were back to the river. You guys from up north and back east have LOTS of time to plan for this one!!! Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Here are Bob's posts from this morning. Note: the event SIZE limitations. Start planning NOW and REGISTER EARLY if You want to attend!!! Well I see news travels fast I will have details on cost for the event such as extra day, extra people and show vehicles. It was not cheap glad the wife can't have kids anymore because I think they would of wanted my next born. It looks like $60.00 bucks per vehicle which will get the driver and passenger in if paid before July 15th $75.00 after. There is a cap on this event of 1500 vehicles and 4500 people so having said that I hope you all reg early because once we have met their mark we are full. Not my rule theirs which means tomorrow I will post up where to send you reg also need to figure out who is coming with you and get their funds. The park has to be paid in advance thats why the bump to get you to reg early. Please this is to all of you that will attend. I have put my ass out there for this please if your friends are assholes leave them at home and remember clean park trash, trash, trash. I really would like to make this the next Sunset tradition not a one hit wonder. Thanks everyone I got up at 3am this morning to go to the meeting and it is 1221am the next day can't go to sleep. It's like I just got my first piece all over again. I'm meeting with Brandon tomorrow to get a flyer done. Thanks to everyone for your support It has been a long time coming I was at the park today it gave me chills just think about people that are jonesing for the Road Runner and a beer with friends at La Paz. My wife was saying you look like your pissed I said no just freaking happy. We have tried about 7 times with a no sorry not interested. It is nice to hear yes for a change.Who says Mini Truckin is dead WCN and Show fest back damn pinch me I'm dreaming. Quote Link to comment

hacked521 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 hey are yuh gonna have to be 18 for this deal, and if you do can you just have a parent with you? If i need a parent no problem, ill be headin on out that way for this one for sure!!!! Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 We have some time to plan this but................... The Freaks are planning a large caravan from Las Vegas to Parker. I am suggesting a side trip into Laughlin, Nevada on Their way. Laughlin is about halfway and would be a cool place to stop for three reasons: First, there are 10 casinos on the Colorado river to get whatever "pitstop" refreshment a person wanted. It will still no doubt be over 100 degrees so a dip in the river can be done if wanted. I am suggesting taking an area of the parking lot at the Riverside near the boat launch. There are restrooms there as well as inside the Riverside. Second. If the caravan travels this route from Las Vegas, then they will NOT be going through California. This might be a plus as CHP would just LOVE to search an "altered" frame minitruck. After hanging out for while in Laughlin, the trip can continue after crossing into Arizona right down highway 95 on the Arizona side into Lake Havasu and then Parker. Third. I am hoping on having a get-together for a few days leading up to the run here in Bullhead City, which is right across the river from Laughlin. Anyone coming a long distance is welcome to come early and hang out. There are many casinos that would have cheap midweek prices, buffets and such as well as I would like to have a Bar-B-Que Wednesday night here at My house. Any of You guys coming are invited. I will post more on this later. Please keep My email address and let me know who might be interested. I might also be able to rent a pontoon boat on Tuesday or Wednesday so some river activity might be possible. It is very cool to drive up river and just float down and relax or just find a spot in the cove. I can help You guys with reservations if You need in Laughlin. On Thursday when the caravan is ready, We all would hook up at the Riverside and add to the convoy heading to Parker. What a sight!!! So there it is............ the ultimate vacation!!! If You like, maybe You can go first to Vegas and come down with them. Either option is cool. 7 months to plan so keep in touch with Me. steroid620@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Antics on the river!! Very generous offer Mike & TY. Quote Link to comment
hacked521 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 haha, nevermind just realised ill be 18 by then. Man having a hoard of minitrucks driving down the road would be classic. Especially a pack of datsuns.:cool: Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 OK guys........ The run's registration is now over 600. If You are going to make this one (a MUST in My opinion) You'd better hurry.
