So, I've never been to the Vegas Pantera meet. Last year my car wasn't running so I didn't even consider it. This year I'm just feeling kind of lazy. Though I feel like it's one of those things that I need to do once in my life.

I've heard Vegas horror stories though. Drunks dancing on the hood of a Pantera in the parking lot, etc.

Someone convice me it's worth the 8 hour drive though? Wink Anyone else on this board gonna drive up from SoCal? I can't say that I trust the old Pantera 100% yet. Would be nice to caravan with other peeps.

If you don't leave in the middle of rush hour it shouldn't take 8 hours? AND, yes, even if it does take 8 hours it is well worth the drive! You'll get to meet a lot of great people. Not to mention all the great cars! There are five chapter in and around SoCal so I'm sure you'll find a group to caravan with. Good Luck...Curt
Macman,

Vegas? In one word - GO!!

The drunk on the hood was not in the parking lot, which has 24/7 security. It was a wasted old showgirl on Fremont, and yes John's hood got scratched. That is the only damage issue I have ever heard of on Fremont - and, sadly, Fremont display is NOT happening this year due to the change of Hotels.

Two day track event Thursday and Friday, with $20 noon time drive arounds for ANY car with NO helmet required. If that doesn't get your interest in actually registering for the event in 2006, something is wrong with you. Hospitality suite is open every day for HOURS. All the cold drinks you can handle (please, do handle them, okay? We hate drunken brawls) Chapter stores selling more items, toys and clothing than you even thought were made. Bench racing stories without end, advice and info on ANY Pantera subject you ever wondered about. There are a couple of excursions available to get you out of Vegas and on the road, surrounded by another dozen or more Panteras. Saturday morning tech session where you can get your question answered by some of the best minds in the club. And the awards dinner - and raffle - where you might win more stuff than you can fit in the trunk. Plus, it is in Vegas. Good cheap food, great people watching, gambling if you must, and shopping for the S.O.

Go ahead, make your reservation. You make reservations to go to the dentist, don't you? At least this trip is guaranteed to provide fun :-)
