Silver Springs

Hey all, who's goin to Silver Springs next weekend? Not sure if Hotties new ride will mke it or not, only have 3 days to do about a month of work. But the Falcon will be there. Is that close enough to qualify??? It does have a 200 engine and 3 speed out of a 70 maverick!

 

I'll be there....yall can finish in 3 days I've seen 'em do it on TV.

 

I too will be there.

 

Lil and I will be there Saturday ... driving her Mustang ... having too much fun with my Comet all in pieces all over my garage. I might be driving it again by summer at this rate.

 

Effie and I will be there about noon-ish Fri.

part-time and i are coming up. mavaholic is coming down. come on fred, you have 3 whole days. who needs sleep or work?

 

I will be there. I'm driving Jim's Sprint Pinto...
Are we going to make plans to meet in the parking lot so we can all drive in together. I want to make sure I get to park with the mav's/comets.

How about the pony trails? Do the Mav/Coms ride as a group? Never did the ride so I'm full of dumb questions.

 

we usually meet inside. if you tell the direction guys that you are meeting with the mavs they should point you in the right direction. trying to get everyone to meet at the same time has proven problematic. they usually place us toward the back of the field ( closer to where the cars come in) they fill the center with mustangs and put the smaller groups around the perimeter. whoever gets there first needs to make sure they don't park us anywhere near the giraffe enclosure. peeeyuuuuu.

 

I just got an email from Jeff Ford who now works for Legendary Ford Magazine. I had asked him if he was coming to Silver Springs. He told me he would be there and would try to look us up. We may get a little coverage here. You guys keep your eyes open for him when we get there. He really likes the Mavericks/Comets.

 

You can count us in, looking forward to it!

My dad and I are planning to be there on Saturday.

 

There is an old saying that goes: "If you wait until all the lights are green, you never get out the front door".

Therefore, even though it needs some things, I am bringing the Mustang Sprint so that for the first time, ever, all three versions of the '72 Sprints will be together at a show. Since Dennis has committed to making the long trip down with his Sprint Maverick, I am going ahead and bring the Stang instead of waiting until all 3 of mine can make it together.

Whoever get there first, tell the people parking to save 3 spots on the end for the 3 Sprints, preferably to the right side of the Mav/Comets. That way, we can park like the photos, with the Maverick in the middle and the Pinto to the left and the Stang to the right. It should draw some attention to all of our cars. Definately, a Kodak moment!!

My son will bring my black '69 XR7 and park with the Cougars, which are usually nearby. Ken will be driving the Pinto Sprint .

I know Jeff Ford very well, going back to when he was Editor of Mustang Monthly and later Mustangs and Fords magazines. He is a great fellow and I am sure will do what he can to promote our cars. I have no doubt in my mind that he will be giving the cars a lot of attention.

If all goes as planned, I will be at NPD Friday morning for the Pony Trails, probably in the gold Stang convertible. Whew, that means getting 4 cars ready for the weekend.

Ray, bring down some info on the cruise in Oct. I want to try and make that this year.

Looking forward to seeing some of you again and meeting others for the first time. Especially looking forward to meeting another old fart, MR OLD FART, Ray!!

Jim

 

after my email conversation with him over last years shut out it will be nice to meet him and clear the air. if we have the 3 sprints together, that will surely bring some attention. it looks like we will have a good turnout this year.
maverick 73-- you bringing the 2 & 4 doors.
