10th Annual Round-Up Nationals a SUCCESS!!!

I figured somebody else would have posted already...so I will give you the highlights:

35 MAVERICKS!!!!! No Comets....very strange. But 35 cars total!!! Awesome!!

Pictures coming soon!!!

P.S. YOU should have been there

 

Yes!! What a great time!!!!!! Perfect weather, one heck of a Roundup of mavericks, and best of all, are the people!!! I am on a high, wish everyone could have been there. Going to try and post a pic of the cars. It is a big file so we will see.
Kudos to Craig for another terrific event!!!

 

Doh!!!!! k, I made it smaller, try again, Pic is of cars with owners standing beside them. Shot was taken on top of Mavaholic's enclosed trailer.

 

For those who missed it let me tell ya that you missed one h*ll of a time Craig Does put on one great event. And I for one will be doing it again next year........but this time with my car as well You guys will need to see pics at the Drag strip as well...15 cars ran there And I got a first rate seat activating the Tree what a Blast even watchig those trailer Queens givin it all!!!! My Hats off to everyone who pertisipated they all were great........And I still can't get over Mavaholic torturing that poor Sprint

 

What happened? Whatd he do to his sprint? Is it ok?

My Sprint is fine although definatly has a few new paint dings in the quarters. This was the best Roundup yet. We always say it cant get any better, but it always does. The cars are great but the people are what really makes it all worth the effort to attend.

 

I went just on Saturday and talked with a couple of owners (I haven't had a Maverick in 24 years!). Great show, beautiful cars, nice people - makes me want to find another Maverick!

 

For those that have been emailing me, I want to thank you for your concern and let you know the Bronco made it home just fine. For those that didnt hear, about 100 miles from home, the rear started to roar so loud it sounded like it was about to grenade. I ended up removing the drive shaft, locked in the front, and drove the rest of the way on the front axle, about another 450 miles including going through the mountains. Then I couldnt get a Jasper rear while there so I drove it home this way. I dont know if Ford designed the front axle to tow about 6500 lbs but it can. What can I say, " Built Ford Tough"

 

Other Pics

Does anyone have any other pics from the round-up?

 

Turnout for previous years?

35 Mavericks sounds like a pretty good turnout, what has it been the last few years?

 

It has been as low as 10 about 7 years ago. 2 years ago we had 14, with 4 or those cars belonging to one person/family (Wilbur Green). Last year we had 24.

 

i've got quite a few pics from the roundup,but the board says there too large to post.have no problem sending them thru e-mail,any help posting?

 

send them to me. I'll shrink them down to size.

Great Round-Up seems like when you think it can not get any better it does year after year it was just the best Craig thanks for putting together an outstanding Round-Up you have done an outstanding job as President of this Club wish you were not stepping down we have made a lot of great friends over the last 6 years we have belonged best of everthing to you and your family will be in touch. Your friends Wilbur & Susan Green

 

Before I forget and this thread gets buried.....I wanted to thank everybody who came out, and I wanted to thank you all for the kind words about the Round-Up Nationals .

It was a lot of fun, and no matter what direction the MCCI takes in the future, rest assure that there WILL be a Round-Up Nationals next year!!

I would like to add....this is our National show for the MCCI...with something for everybody. We had drag racing, a day cruise, a banquet, a car show....but mostly a lot of FUN...for us Maverick/Comet owners and their FAMILIES. It was just a gathering of people with similar interest having fun together.

The part I liked the best was all the cars parked together. Sure, some cars were nicer than others, but nobody cared. I saw just as many people looking at the "diamonds in the rough" as were looking at the Best of Show winner. Some might have been shocked at the fact that we had judging at all....but this is our
National show, we are an International Club, and it was a "car show". Like all car clubs that have a National show...there was judging.....but as I said at the show, the judging and the awards is only about 7% of what the entire weekend is all about. That is why the Best of Show award is the same size as the 8th or 9th place award. If anything, no matter what award one received, just consider it a token for all your hard work you all have put into your Mavericks/Comets.

So....thanks again for coming and supporting YOUR Maverick/Comet Club!!!
