Any news from Laughlin? Today was the 25 running of the Economy Run by 3 clubs in So Cal on one in AZ. It rained like heck yesterday but today was clear, how did everyone do? Inquiring minds want to know? :)

    Hello Richard,

    We had nice weather on Saturday. There were about 29 Hudsons, mostly stepdowns.

    Hi Glen, I'm glad to hear that you attended. I hope that you are feeling better. Sorry I missed it, I usually go but too much else going on at the moment.

    The Utah Group (with my wife and I being the last) have returned to our beloved state. We were represented by Glen (as noted above) Mike Cherry in his 1949 Brougham and myself. We did a bit of shopping on the way home and took an extra day to be sure we did not miss a shopping mall.

    We left just before nine and did not make it to the "meeting on the grass" to see who won and lost. I am thinking that perhaps Mike was in the running for the longest distance driven--we will have to wait and see when Matt Royer posts or forwards us some photos and the final rankings. I could venture a guess at the best milage (Jet?) but that would not be fair....

    A beautiful day sandwiched between two days of rain.

    I would like to report that Charlie Wallace, with his '54 HH sporting a most interesting 3 carb. intake manifold with 3 Webers, high comp. head, custom made exh. headers, won the trophy for the WORST mileage, LOL, 13.5 mpg!

    I thought one unfortunate thing about the Avi Casino venue is that the tribe makes one buy a $50 permit to sell anything ergo NO ONE brought anything to sell other than the sponsor chapter selling T-shirts. In the past there would be at least 1/2 doz. guys selling stuff off card tables, etc., sometimes even cars for sale.
    I didn't attend the 1st Economy Run meet held at the Avi a year ago but it is a far nicer place than the old River Palms in Laughlin (this Indian casino about 1/2 way between Needles, Ca. & Laughlin, Nv.).
    We had an unexpected "touristo", Mr. Wildrick, the "Clutch Guy" ventured out from Indiana, said he had a great time!

    Charlie - I think that could be referred to an an "Pyhrric victory", LOL. Oh, you were awarded a last place trophy, which in your hurry to "make tracks" you left behind!!!!!
