Anybody going to the run to the sun this w/e?

[summerlove]

Havasu's annual Hot Rod show is this w/e (10/17-19). This is the w/e we tell the wives we're going to look at old cars, that they'd be bored, and that they really don't want to go. So, we get the w/e at Havasu to do as much damage as a bunch of 40 something DOM can do....Anyone else headed up for the Rod Run? Anyone participating??

I'll be out there this weekend but mostly for boating with family.
Buddy of mine will be around the hot rods, probably cruising in his Falcon...as pictured less the big wheels, now running stock GT wheels. He's expecting/hoping this event to equal or exceed the Temecula rod run.

Pic was taken in your neck of the woods Summerlove...just above and south of the HomeDepot.

The Rods are already pouring into town, and they are sweeeet!
Rick you are going to have to take pictures and post them for those of us running to Parker this week end.
Should be a great turn out from what I'm seeing already.
Have a great week end!
