[blackstang]

I'm in! Not interesting in showing, just hanging out.

[08SGT1234]

I would be great to find out for those that enter if the club can park together and hang our club banner. Thoughts? I tried to call the guy, but never received a call back.

[blackstang]

If I'm not mistaken, (and I frequently am, just ask Jan), he offered us free space for a club display. Anyone else remember that? Maybe you can ask him if he calls you back.

[Rogercharger]

Sounds like a fun Day:)

[GoofNOff]

That sounds like a good time.

[Vnemous]

He did offer the club a free booth at the show if we want it. He is also a new member of the club. I am not available that day/weekend so could not lead the charge to set up a table but if we have some members that would be interested in it, I'll pass along his contact info. Might be able to display some cars and passout for club info during the times folks were going to be there anyway. Let me know.

[07-TGGT]

I would be interested in showing and could help with manning the booth / table

[Major Defect]

I will be happy to attend. But Ill be on display.

[761.2MPH]

But Ill be on display.
Your car too? :)

Sorry you left yourself open for that one! HAHA :bag:

[Major Defect]

Wait, what??? What the hell?????

[Rogercharger]

Woo woo woo

[Vnemous]

Do we have any folks going to this show? They offered us a booth for the club. I don't want to says yes unless we have someone to take the lead on this. Post up if you are planning to be there for the whole show. My guess is a booth would be a table with our banner and somebody to answer any questions, hand out our club cards, etc. Thanks.

[FoxRob]

I was going to go but now my wife informed me that were going to Myrtle Beach with some of our friends.

[Rogercharger]

I can help with booth time

[GoofNOff]

I'm still thinking about going, will it be brought up at the next meeting?

[Red Mach1]

I spoke with Tim Cleary this past Friday 2/5, and he advised he was visiting the Kerr Scott Bldg today to take measurements on just how to prepare the layout. Indoor "vendor spaces" will be his 1st priority. Evidently he has not contacted other clubs in the area, so I suggested MOB and Stangs R Us. He advised that Twisted Stallions had a booth, did not ask for what purpose. Tim asked for possible volunteers to be judges, but I did not respond for our group. He is planning on visiting our meeting this Thursday with details of set up, I figure you guys can offer suggestions. This is his groups 1st show, so impression is he is unaware of "show" type details needed. He was unsure of number and types of car potential for this show, i.e. classes and judging criteria. He may ask for a headcount at the Thurs mtg!! I would hate to see them have to turn away cars at the gate on Feb 20th, so hopefully he measures and plans well. He is supposed to call me this evening, so I will update if available.

[Rasmus]

Thanks, Bill. How about dropping by the officer's meeting tonight? If not, I'll make sure to bring it up.

[BLUEPSTU]

Wish I could go but I'll be out of town. Have fun!

[761.2MPH]

Ok folks, Post Number 1 has been updated with the most current info I have.
Post up if you are IN so we can start up the list

[07-TGGT]

Great choice to meet, see you at 7:30

[67Stang]

I can help man the booth for a couple of hours if needed.

[TOOL MAN]

David, Can you save me a spot because I cannot get there until around 11?

[Major Defect]

I think I may go also, but Im not sure what time I can show up. I will be getting off work at 6 that morning- gotta sleep sometime.

[Dave08]

Would like to show up for the show, but live to far north to meet for breakfast and criuse. what is a good time to be at the Fairgrounds?

[GT350-H]

Count me in. I will have to trailer the car because I'm bringing parts to sell as well. I will meet you guys at the farmers market but I will not eat.

[761.2MPH]

David, Can you save me a spot because I cannot get there until around 11?
Richard I'll see what we got when we get there, I know a few others will be showing up late as well.

Cool deal, not sure how all that's going to go down but shouldn't be much to it.
Great choice to meet, see you at 7:30
See ya there Chris, It's been a while but if I remember they have some good food.

We are going to be there around 9am.

[veloce06]

Put me down. If I can pull my lazy butt out of bed I'll meet ya'all at the market.

[blkstang08]

If there is an extra spot i would like to show with yall. Let me know if a can get a spot. Thanks!

[Mystang10]

I am planning going. If I can moving in the morning (on a Saturday???) I hope to join ya in time to cruise back with the group from the Farmer's Market.

[08SGT1234]

David, I can't commit to this for sure... Worst case, I may be able to swing by sometime during the day. There seems to be a lot of interest by others that should help fill up the patio out front.

[blacklightning]

I might be able to make it by for a while. I think there needs to be some clarity on the entrance fee and such. I have found some adds saying $10 for car entry and even some that say $5 for spectator entry.

[6+6 Stang]

I'll be at farmers market around 815, not eaten, I can hang out at show until around 1. not showing just show up. Jerry

[07-TGGT]

I am sure there will be room for you

If there is an extra spot i would like to show with yall. Let me know if a can get a spot. Thanks!

we kinda hit on this at the meeting the other night, I 2 have seen two different ads with different prices. (one being $10 and the other $15) As of today I have neither one of the flyers so if you have one with the lower price on it...how about making me a copy for less than $5 :)

I'm not real sure how the group heading up this event will be keeping track of everything so I'm just going to go, pay my entry fee of whatever it may be, hang out with everyone and mostly have a good time. Not worried about any trophy or doing any hard cleaning on the car.

[GT350-H]

Oh yes! I found the old flyer which says show cars $15.00 and admission $7.00. I talked with Tim last week and he told me $20.00 for show cars at that time. I'll bring the flyer it wouldn't hurt.

[Rasmus]

I found my flyer; $10 show cars, $7 admission, $20 car corral, $65 vendor space

[GT350-H]

Even Better! We'll use yours Ras.

[6+6 Stang]

When we leave Farmer Market and get to our location, if not showing, just parking the car for display or whatever, will it be easy enough to leave when need to? I'm not sure anyone would know this but if parking together if not showing I'm assuming you could leave when need to.

[Zeekmann]

hey guys Gerard from Twistedstallions, if we planned on showing some of our cars do we need to do anything before hand or just go?? What kind of show is it? Is this more of a display show or will there be judging and awards? We have limited info on this part but do have a booth set up. Let me know if you know!
Thanks!

[jpgmustang]

jpgmustang is new member, but im game for the day..

[FoxRob]

I'm going to be there. Hoping to find some stuff for my project as well as get ideas for it from other cars. I got to meet a guy about some brake parts for it there too.

[Mean GT]

Oh man, if timing were better...I was just in Raleigh this past weekend visiting my girlfriend...a week later and I could have checked this out! Hope it's an awesome turnout and I look forward to seeing some pictures.

[GoofNOff]

I gotta bail on this. Won't get off till 9am and will be working tomorrow night. Falling asleep at the wheel is not an option. Have fun y'all.

[GT350-H]

I just spoke with Tim at the fair grounds this afternoon in regard to the car show. He told me show cars are $15 and display is $10. He said he would like all the club cars park together on the cement pad out front. He wants us on the right hand side facing the building. He stated he would like for everone to stay the entire show, but the ones who may need to leave early can park closets to the exit of the pad. He said we do not have to go throw the registration line at the rear of the building, just drive straight onto the pad. They would like for us to back in around the perimiter of the cement pad. See Ya at breakfeast.

[761.2MPH]

Sounds good Jeff :rockon2:

I'll see all you folks Tomorrow!

[Paulman]

glad y'all are going to have a bright, sunny day for this. great way to start off 2010!

[FoxRob]

I should be there around 9:30-10 am.

[blackstang]

Jan and I will be late as well, we had too much to do today and didn't have time to clean up the car.

[dan50]

I will try to be there around 2ish

[Rio Red GT]

I'll be working on the raggtopp trying to get her "roadworthy". Y'all have fun!

[6+6 Stang]

[FoxRob]

Seems like there was a decent turn out for the first all Ford show. My wife now wants a Taurus SHO, sad thing is my employer(Hendrick Automotive group) doesn't own a Ford dealership.
I did meet up with the guy who sold me a set of V-8 Fox brakes and spindles as well as the right driveshaft for my car. Then while brousing around inside found a sweet deal on a C&L MAF and GT-40 upper and lower intake. I'll be uploading pics soon.

[GT350-H]

Jerry, both hands on the wheel.

[6+6 Stang]

when ya got a 5 spd you learn only one hand drivin from what i learned, well time for bed. 10-4 good buddy

[Rogercharger]

It was a great turnout from our club and we had fun right up to the point of arrival. The promoter of this show bit off more than they could chew. Hopefully they will be more organized next year. They should have had the show in the livestock arena. Many cars showed up with no place to park. Its like inviting 20 people to a party with food and drinks for 5.

[08SGT1234]

Did anyone get any pictures of a flat black customized Shelby GT500 that was at the show? The guy's from Auto Arts were showing the car. It's a buddy's, he happens to be overseas in Afghanistan and would like to see the car in the show.

[Major Defect]

I saw the car, but I didnt take any pics. Ras may have.

[Rasmus]

yep, I think I may have a detail shot or two

[6+6 Stang]

Let me check..............yep got one posting up in min.

[6+6 Stang]
