I was just wondering if anyone in Northern California or Western Nevada was planning to attend the Fordlovers.com show & drag race? It is on Sunday, May 6th at Sacramento Raceway. If anyone is planning to attend this show/drag race let me know. I am planning to attend and was hoping to meet up with who ever goes. Here is the link to the show/race www.fordlovers.com.

I did the samething of printing it out. I Just need to get my butt in gear and get to working on my car. I need to do a alternator upgrade since I put March pulleys on and the old 60 amp isn't doing the job. I know Tom, if you read this. I have been putting it off for a few months, :D.

It shouldn't be bad in May over Hwy 50. Hwy 80 you never know. Especially how late our winter is right now. It's been cold down here in Sacramento like if we were up there towards you & Tahoe. I just wish it would rain soon. Tired of the frozen windshield every morning :D.

Local show just announced their 2007 date, May 6! I will not be in Sac. Local show is a lot of fun, for a good charity and until 2007 has never seen a Maverick!

Headliner? It looked fine last June. Why are you changing it out? Are you planning to attend this show/drag race at Sacramento Raceway? I still plan on going but haven't heard from anyone else saying they want to go.

Sierra, look at the date I wrote that! You had no/little snow either! That's ok, the last two weekends have been nothing short of fantastic. Drive down to Santa Rosa and the Peggysue Car Show. www.peggysuescruise.com (http://www.peggysuescruise.com) A lot of fun, some great cars and downtown is closed just for us!

Mini-Meet on June 7th?? I would drive my car out there if I knew someone else was going to make the trek too. I have only driven my car around the neighborhood, never on a long distance trip. Yes, I am scared to be alone :D. Just encase something breaks or I overheat. Also that show is in June, not May. Bring that Maverick out to Sac and see what it will run.

My bad, Petaluma Car Show is in May, same weekend. I know what mine runs but I think I am done with the track for a while. After what I just paid for paint, I don't want any walls coming too fast at me!! Come on down in June, it is an awesome show for a great cause! Scott

sounds inviting. I'll have to think about the Santa Rosa Meet. I need to checkout the Hotel situation....

I won't be at the Petaluma show, be in St Louis on business. BUT, I am signed up for the Santa Rosa show. They have a great three day venue that even includes cruising through downtown while the streets are closed. Pretty cool..

anyone else still planning to go to this? i am thinking of driving out in the morning but i havent paid the dues yet. also hoping they allow last minute entries, or i might have to park in the lot :(

I am still up in the air. I haven't paid the entry yet either. I didn't think anyone else was going to attend so I never sent in my entry fee. I also had to get my alternator first, which I did. I need to know if they would let me run my car with just lap belts. I don't have the shoulder belt in this car. I have thought about robbing the belts out of my Torino for the day. If you plan on driving down I'll sneak out of the house for a few hours.

I heard we are only getting AM showers here tomorrow. So it shouldn't be too bad. Plus it isn't cold enough to snow.

I just found out from the wife that she has to work this weekend. So this means I will have my 3 year old daughter on Saturday & Sunday and I will not be able to run my car down the strip since I will have her. I could still drive out and check things out.

Well it snowed at my house this morning (4K Ft) and is supposed to snow in Kyburz and Tahoe city till late tonight. that means icy roads for a few days. maybe we should just wait till june and get together with scotty at that carshow? we can also get together down at the river sometime for some boating?

That June show does sound better. It still looks nasty down here in Sac with some dark clouds moving in. I will just have to pray it isn't the same weekend as the Good Guys show in Pleasanton. I may still cruse over to the show on Sunday to look around, at $10 for general admission why not?

Sierra, I was looking forward to having another MAV there! Oh well, if I do not get my "small" wiring project done, I won't be there.. We will keep trying. I was in Tahoe this past week/weekend sure was nice up there!
