Ladies, and Gentlemen.

Many car clubs in years past have held grand meets. The time has come that we show the likes of the Corvette club, the Nismo gang, the Subaru kids....

That the body on frame car can not only be awesome, but that we can represent with some amazing machinery of our own.

Starting on June 15, 2012, and ending on June 17, myself and a hard-core group of Panther enthusiasts would like to welcome you all to 2012 Panther Nationals, to be held at the Outback Roadhouse, right on the strip in downtown Branson, Missouri!

Lodging has been secured at the rate of $59 a night for a queen bed double room. On the grounds is an award winning restaurant, a pub, and we will have a cordoned off section reserved exclusively for Panther parking only!

Also included in the price of the hotel room are some other goodies that are included:

A designated area to hold a "meet and greet" at whatever time and date Group requests.
Use of Roadhouse pavilion if Group desires to have meetings, cookouts, etc. at no extra charge.
Food and drink specials at the Outback Pub, and Outback Steak & Oyster Bar during the duration of the event.
Complimentary hot breakfast at the Roadhouse for any member of Group staying at the Roadhouse.
Banquet facility at the Outback Steak & Oyster Bar (if desired) at a discounted group rate.
Discounted tickets to select area events.

Event is being held at:

Outback of Branson
1914 W Hwy 76
Branson, MO 65616

A webpage with an online reservation system has been set up for your convenience! It can accessed here:

**NOTHING IS MANDATORY**

SATURDAY, 16 JUNE
We are considering an early morning junkyard run, just in case folks want to see about scoring parts that others did not bring.
Car Show
BBQ Cook out at the Party Pavilion (This is up in the air - attendees will help call this shot!)
There will be later evening activities, go karting, Branson shows, shopping, that's sort of flexible...I'm sure some folks will want to simply sit in the parking lot and drink, and that is fine too, we have a nice bar on location.

SUNDAY, 17 JUNE
11 (ish) AM Ride to Eureka Springs, AR for lunch, and sightseeing.

We're also possibly thinking of working in a little time to help others with any mechanical issues that may pop up, or those that want to tackle a LIGHT project (no engine swaps or blower installs, please) and have questions, or want some guidance.

We, as organizers, have also put together a little scavenger hunt for the trip along the way, to help ease the boredom of all those miles!

One tip: I would recommend bringing an FRS/GMRS handheld radio. The organizers will be able to be found on channel 4, subchannel 6. (4.6 - should be easy to remember!)
