| June 16th, 2007 - The 5th Annual San
Diego Panteras Poker Run. Once again, hosted at the fabulous Rancho
Rafael of members Ralph and Pat Suarez. This year's event was the best
yet. There were about 60 vehicles of various marks, along with about
120-130 people. Ralph and Co. prepared a fantastic 60-80 mile course
that provided driving pleasure for all manner of driver/vehicle. Ralph
is an absolute master at mapping out fun roads. The event went off like clockwork thanks to #1,the organizer's superb planning; and #2, a large cast of volunteers who helded with food prep, set up, poker hand evaluation, prize distribution, checkpoint management, clean up, etc. Huge thanks to all. We couldn't have asked for better weather. Sunshine and gentle breezes, it was just perfect. |
| Speed limits exceeded? I'll
never tell. But when it come to fun, we blew the paint right off of
this sign, because we had so many tons of fun, that it had to have been
illegal!
|
| Checkpoint workers did a fantasitc
job of managing the card distribution. Thanks very much to all of you.
|
| Prior to the on-time departure, the cars were
packed into the staging area. A great collection of cars were present.

The roads were a blast...
|
| After the run, the cards were reviewed, the
barbeque commenced, and the prizes were given out. Ralph had managed
to amass several thousand dollars worth of donations from various local and
remote merchants.
Buy a bunch of tickets like this...
And perhaps you too can be the big winner, way to go Rene!
|
| Ralph had his hands full trying to give out the
mountain of prizes. Pat and Nash Gann helped out with the prize
distribution. Here's another happy beaming winner.
|
| Everyone had a great time, nobody left without a
smil. Hey Bobby the blindfolded golf cart race is just a scheme to
teach men how to obey their wives! Hmmm, too bad about those cones you
took out. Looks like you may need some more obediance training.
