It was a blast, We had alot of really nice cars show up there. I think Josh did a really good job of setting this up, for all the hoops he had to jump through. Good Job Josh.

Congrats Josh for getting this all set up!

Thanks guys...and it was my pleasure. It makes me want to get next years all ready to go! It was an awesome turnout, but yeah...it's too bad that everyone left early. I think next year I will schedule it to start around 3...that way people will stick around. We can do like a 50/50 drawing and have door prizes too...that's another way people will stick around.

Any other suggestions are welcome for next year's event.

BTW, all of the pictures have been posted and can be viewed at the following address:

I think the reason people left early was the lack of actual events, other than just a show-n-shine type meet. If we want to make an annual day or actual weekend meet out of it, we need to include some track time, dyno time, show-n-shine, and maybe a banquet of some kind. Grudge race the Mustang clubs perhaps to get more participants in certain events to help pay for the dyno or track...

Nice job Josh and 26+ cars showed up!

I'm going to unstick this thread now.

Let me know if you plan on another event this year so I can sticky it.

As bnoon said.....adding an event might bring out/commit more but at some cost if it's at a drag stip, dyno-shop, etc.
