Great Pacific Northwest Microcar/Minicar Extravaganza

Post by walderse »

Hello to all…
especially those about the attend the 5th annual Haflingertreffen Nordamerika this coming weekend. Here is something interesting to consider as well.

July 11th-13th, 2014 will see the annual Great Pacific Northwest Microcar/Minicar Extravaganza move from its traditional home in Forest Grove, Oregon to the LeMay America’s Car Museum in Tacoma, WA. The primary organizer, Mark Hatten of MPH Specialties has decided to move his event to the big leagues in a big way. Since several of us have shown our Haflingers at previous events at previous GPMMME events, he is also requesting a strong Haflinger presence. Fiat apparently is co-sponsoring the event and Mark thinks the Fiat officials would be thrilled to see the Haflingers given the past relationship between Steyr-Puch and Fiat. Please keep in mind that more we can do to show our trucks are just as roadworthy as many other small vehicles, the less likely we (and others to follow) will be told we cannot operate our trucks on public roads. Your presence can help make a difference.

Mark’s MPH website is: http://www.mphspecialties.com/

The link to the event is: http://www.gpnwmme.com/

The real issue is that we are coming up on a significant registration deadline: June 20th, 2014!!!

I have decided to cancel my attendance at two different events the two weekend that follow this so Emilie and I can join in this fun. This can certainly be discussed in greater detail during the Haflingertreffen this weekend but the time to make a decision is going to be approaching very quickly.

Take care…one and all.
