Hudsons at Viva?

    I am heading out to Viva Las Vegas car show over the Easter weekend and would like to see some Hudsons. I would have driven mine but it (and I) has relocated to the other coast. I know there are a few of you guys in Vegas and I was wondering if anybody was going.
    1953 Hornet sedan Twin-H
    Custom front springs, drop-blocks out back, Clifford 6-2 headers exiting out back shotgun style, Pertronix, and Flames!

    1964 Chevy C-10 Longbed, 396/TH400 lowered just enough and \"easy to touch up\" Black paint.

    2003 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
    Caved in quarter and fender. Bad paint. Non-True-Trac heap. But it's paid for.

    I am going to visit show...there some Hudsons in Vegas Cyrus has his own and probably will bring to the show, the other two '52 & '53 coupe's are not on the road yet... There also is a real nice restored 1951 that Bill Albright recently sold and hopefuly will be driven to show...

    Now I'm disappointed that I won't get to have mine there, but 2500 miles one way is a little too much, even for a five day weekend. I'll be looking out for you all.

    Any of you guys know much about the Champ Car race that weekend? I know its being run downtown on the streets, and you gotta buy tix to watch from the grandstands, but what about the rest of the course? Would be kinda cool to visit Fremont Street Expir during the race.

    I'd bet it'd be different if you taught him to drive and got him his own car. Then it would be discrimination due to race or species or something.

    Dan has already taught him to drive, but he cann't get him his own car because he cann't let him off the leash for safety and legal reasons. It is OK to have your dog drive if he is on a leash.



    For those who want to know the cost.



    PRICING FOR A 4-DAY PASS and entitles you to the following:

    Admission to all VLV events, bands, record hops, burlesque, car show, vendors, jiving classes for all 4 days. It also entitles you to register a car for the VLV Shifters Car Show.



    For bookings received before March 16 $72.50 plus tax per person

    For bookings after March 16 $85 plus tax per person

    For people paying at the event $90 plus tax per person (subject to availability)



    We cannot accept advance bookings after April 1, 2007, as we will have already gone to Vegas.



    The above prices are subject to 10% State of Nevada Entertainment Tax.

    I don't think I'll be able to make it with the Jet after all. I sent my distributor to Russ Mass last week for a Pertronix install. I'm hoping the electronic ignition makes the 5.5 hour trip to Mesa even more enjoyable than the trek to last year's Western Regional.

    It is a state wide law called live entertainment tax. It was voted in by the 2005 legislature. I was living in Vegas at the time and as i remember there was quite a consaverse about what it afected.
