After signing in, many riders started out sightseeing; taking in Carson City, Silver City. Virginia City, Reno and Lake Tahoe. Throughout the weekend, it was a very rare thing to see the main drag of Carson City and not see motorcycles traveling in both directions. Cycles were at every restaurant. motel and gas station; they also lined the streets in front of the casinos. as many riders traded two wheels for the three spinning ones of of the slot machines. They dropped their coins in the slots. pulled the handles. and yelled with glee when they were able to fill their helmets with silver. The first organized event of the run. was a beauty contest which was held Saturday afternoon. Pam Porterfelid was chosen the most beautiful gi~l on the run. and Barbara Clark carried home the second place trophy. saturday evening. the riders put on their dancing-shoes and returned to the Mint Casino to dance their way into the wee hours of the morning.

The do-it-yourself car wash was a welcome sight for many riders. but most preferred to do the job at their motel or campsight. The finish closed at 10:00 a.m. with the parade starting immediately afterward. Leaving the Mint, the parade went through downtown Carson City. Winding up at Mills Park. Motorcycles of every size. shape. description and age found their way to the park. The smallest bike was a 90cc Honda and the largest was awell. this one I am sure you know. Several sidecars made the run. but Carol Seip was the only jockey of a three-wheeler. The newest bike was bought the day before the run. and the oldest was. without a doubt. a 1917 Indian which made its appearance for a short time at the park. After arriving at the park. the riders busied themselves with last minute cleaning. setting up displays andin general making their machines ready for the judging. considering the number of bikes, the judging was done quite quickly; and the tenseness from the contest disappeared as the riders relaxed on the grass with refreshments and swapped tales of tre.vel. The Mint furnished all the equipment needed to play bingo. giving the riders a chance to win trophies, as they relaxed in the park. Trophy presentation was at the Mint Casino and this year two new • trophies were added to the list. These trophies went to the man and woman who in the past year contributed the most to further the great sport of motorcycling. These two special trophies were proudly taken home by Ken Osmond and Lee Harrison. To top off the run the SOuthern California Road Riders returned for another night of dancing before the long journey home Monday. All in all.
