This looks like a well thought out and planned event. I just signed up as did Behic23..sure would be great to roll into AZ with a bunch of SoCal Camaros!

AAGCC 4th Annual Run To The Fun - Havasu Style! Jan. 24th - Jan. 26th 2014

Year 1 = 46 Camaro's....Year 2 = 76 Camaro's.... Year 3 = 107 Camaro's...Year 4 = 125 Camaro's??

When: January 24th thru January 26th, 2014
Where: Lake Havasu, Arizona
What: The Arizona All Gen's Camaro Club Take Over The London Bridge
Why: Because We Can!!

The Arizona All Gen's are VERY excited to announce the details of the 4th Annual Run To The Fun - Havasu Style!
For those of you who have attended any, or all of the previous years, you know you are going!! For those of you that haven't - get on board for a great weekend!
We had several requests for a more "Family Friendly" event, and Laughlin didn't provide that - Havasu does. The Lake Havasu Visitors Bureau worked hard to make it happen for us, so grab the phone and make your reservations. It's still a ways away, but we need head counts ASAP please!!

Here's a tentative route and plan to get to Lake Havasu. According to Googlemaps, this is 289 miles and 4 hours 44 minutes. I'm figuring 6-6 1/2 hours for gas stops, and photo ops when we hit the Colorado River. I would reccommend we carry portable handheld radios (for fun) and maybe even have a couple good old fashion CB radiors to help keep everyone from missing turns and avoidance of those guys with all the lights in thier grills. Just a suggestion. I welcome any input to make this an amazing and safe weekend.

Friday, Jan 24
Meet at Wal Mart Supercenter on Los Coches in El Cajon (the same meeting place we use for Borrego Springs) at 12:00 (noonish). Fill up, meet and greet and hand out printed maps and any other "special instructions". Leave around 1:15.

Apparently, the new venue is more family friendly than Laughlin. I didn't go last year, but after seeing all the pics, I couldn't wait to go this year. I figured I'd take the lead for us SoCal folks..hopefully we'll have a nice turnout.

It would be one heck of a road trip from Oregon, especially in Jan.

Inferno LSX · 10-28-2013, 10:56 AM
